What's on?
Blood on the Clocktower
Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.
A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the town.
Designed for 5–20 players and a Storyteller, no one is ever truly eliminated, and every role can change the course of the game. In this twisted tale of good versus evil, trust no one — not even the dead.
How to play:
The Spawn
Humanity's insatiable appetite to colonise reached far into the stars, but they learned the hard way that some stones should remain unturned. Aggressively terraforming the home worlds of the Spawn destroyed precious ecosystems and incurred their wrath. Now, conflict dances across the cosmos as the Spawn seek retribution by assimilating themselves into humanity and destroying it from within. Countless ships are lost to the Spawn every lunar cycle.
You must root out the hiding Spawn in your crew - or survive among humanity long enough to overpower them. The Spawn is an elimination-based social deduction game in which humanity must either eject the Spawn that has infiltrated its ranks or lose control of its starship to them. Strategic gameplay and social subterfuge in one immersive sci-fi experience.
A game of The Spawn is intended for 8-25 players and an M.O.D. Players have public positions on the ship, and unique hidden roles determining their allegiances.

Werewolf
The moon hangs heavy over the forsaken village, cloaking ancient horrors beneath its pale light. By day, the villagers gather, fearful and uncertain, trying to identify the beasts in their midst. But by night, the werewolves stir — primal, ruthless, and hungry. Each cycle brings another death, another clue, another spark of paranoia. No one can be trusted, not even the ones you’ve known your whole life.
To survive, the villagers must uncover and eliminate the werewolves before their numbers dwindle too far. But for the werewolves, deception is their weapon — blending in, accusing others, manipulating the crowd until the last villager falls.
Werewolf is a social deduction game of survival and suspicion. Players take on hidden roles as villagers or werewolves in a battle of wit, instinct, and social manoeuvring.
Designed for 6–24 players and a Moderator, each game unfolds in tense day/night cycles — where every word matters, and no one sleeps easy.
How to play:
Mafia
In a city rotting from the inside out, trust is currency — and no one has any left. The Mafia has infiltrated every layer of the community, eliminating their enemies under cover of darkness. Each day, the remaining townsfolk must come together to find justice… or at least stay alive a little longer. But the Mafia walk among them, hiding behind familiar faces, sowing confusion, and framing the innocent. As the bodies pile up and alliances crack, only one side will emerge from the shadows.
Mafia is a classic social deduction game of hidden roles, betrayal, and cold-blooded strategy. Players are secretly divided into mafia and civilians, and must use conversation, persuasion, and suspicion to survive and eliminate the opposing side.
For 7–24 players and a Moderator, every game of Mafia is a tense psychological battle — where silence can be deadly, and trust is your greatest liability.
