Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game, in the style of Werewolf or Mafia, in which townsfolk try to root out a murderous demon in their midst. Different from most other social deduction werewolf games, by allowing the presence of ghosts, Blood on the Clocktower removes the problems caused by early player elimination. A single game tends to last 45-75 minutes depending on player count and experience.

Trouble Brewing is the recommended script for new Blood on the Clocktower players. It offers a balance of accessibility and replayability. Good players must work together to gather information while evil players have several potent tricks to lead the good team astray.
