Lies, secrets, and craft cocktails! Join in the ultimate beginner friendly social deduction game at Portello Lounge. Blood on the Clocktower

Looking for a totally unique night out where you can meet great local people?

If you love murder mysteries, board games, or just want a fresh, low-pressure way to make new friends in Nottingham, this is your sign to try something completely different.

Join us at the cozy Portello Lounge in West Bridgford on Tuesday, 15th September for an evening of Blood on the Clocktower, the world’s premier social deduction game. It’s part bluffing game, part interactive mystery, and 100% social fun.

Why This Event is Built For Newcomers & Solo Adventurers:

The Ultimate Icebreaker: Coming by yourself? You are in good company! Over half of our attendees sign up solo. The game forces everyone to chat, whisper, and collaborate right away, making it impossible to feel left out.

Zero Elimination (You Play All Night): Traditional elimination games leave you sitting on your phone if you die first. Here, even if you are executed or slain by the Demon, you stay in the game! As a ghost, you keep chatting, sharing clues, and even get a crucial vote that can win the game.

No Homework Required: You don’t need to read a rulebook or memorize anything. Your secret role is printed right in front of you, and our host (the Storyteller) runs all the mechanics so you can focus on chatting and having fun.

Tapas, Cocktails & Whispers: Portello Lounge provides a relaxed, stylish setting. Grab a drink, order some food, and wander the room to pull players aside for hushed, private chats to figure out who to trust.

How The Game Works

A quiet village has been infiltrated by a hidden Demon and its evil Minions. By day, the town gathers to share information, debate clues, and vote on who to execute. By night, evil strikes in the dark.

Will you be a loyal villager using your unique ability to catch the monster, or an evil demon trying to blend in with the crowd?
