Blood on the Clocktower: Live! turns the greatest Sydney social deduction board game into a chaotic comedy show!

Trapped in Ravenswood Bluff for a night of gothic carnage, comedians must figure out who the demon of the village is and execute them using their incredible manipulation and bluffing skills. Everyone’s secret identity will be kept in the audience hands! Who’s lying? Can they trust each other? Who’s the demon hiding in the village? Will the townsfolk of Ravenswood Bluff finally destroy the demon – or will they only destroy each other? Dive into the darkness of the show with storyteller Harry Jun who’ll be guiding you through days, nights, accusations and executions. 

Fans of The Traitors, Among Us, or classic social deduction games like ‘Werewolf‘ and ‘Mafia’ will love Blood on the Clocktower: Live! As will fans of lies, laughter, ghosts, unnecessary pettiness and bad singing. 

Meet The Pandemonium Institute:

The Pandemonium Institute’s debut game, Blood on the Clocktower, is one of the most successful boardgames to come out of Australia. Today it holds worldwide acclaim and three conventions dedicated to it. More and more, this fan base includes spectators, with folk finding as much joy in watching the antics play out as causing them. Hours of Blood on the Clocktower content is hosted on a wide range of platforms with thousands of viewers. The team behind the game have taken this a step further with this live experience. After a successful run at the international Edinburgh Fringe comedy festival, and performing at SXSW Sydney in 2023, they are bringing the show back, once again, to the game’s home country.
