Blood on the Clocktower 'Beginner Friendly Session' - Saturday 5th September from 5pm.

Fans and beginners alike, the time has come to rejoice, for we have another few games of Blood on the Clocktower at Puzzle Bored.

We will be running beginner friendly games of Blood on the Clocktower (Trouble Brewing), but intermediate and experienced players are more than welcome.

Between 5-9pm on the 5th of September, you will find your Storyteller (of questionable character) impaled upon the town's old clocktower. This can only be the work of a demon! Trust no one. Not your neighbour. Not your closest friend. Not your grandmother. Nor even the tentacled monster drooling beside you.

We’ll run at least two games across the evening with tickets at £5 and this includes a drink from the cafe.

Some food will also be available to purchase from the cafe.

Spaces are limited (15 players maximum), so be sure to reserve your ticket.

Young Person's 'Blood on the Clocktower' - Monday 7th September at 4pm.

Calling all young detectives, bluffers, demon-hunters and suspicious-looking townsfolk! Blood on the Clocktower is coming back to Puzzle Bored for a special Young Folks event.

This session is designed for young people aged 12–18 and their parents. Whether you’ve played social deduction games before or you’re completely new to Blood on the Clocktower, we’ll help you learn the game and get involved.

We’ll be running beginner-friendly games, with a Storyteller on hand to explain the rules, answer questions and make sure everyone knows what’s going on before the accusations begin!

In Blood on the Clocktower, everyone gets a unique character with their own special ability. Your job is to work out who you can trust, uncover the evil team and find the Demon hiding amongst you. But be careful: your friends might be lying to you, your parents might secretly be evil, and that completely innocent-looking person across the table might know far more than they’re letting on...

Speak truth. Deduce lies. Survive the night.

Join us on Monday 7th September, from 4pm–6pm. We’ll run a few games throughout the evening, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to bluff, investigate, accuse and occasionally make a spectacularly incorrect decision.

Tickets are £5 per person and include a drink from the café. Food will also be available to purchase.

Parents are encouraged to get involved and play alongside their young people — although once the game begins, being related is absolutely no reason to trust each other!

Spaces are limited, so please book ahead to guarantee a place.

'Tonic' Sober Social Coffee Morning - Saturday 12th September from 11am

Want to meet others who socialise sober?

The regular Tonic coffee meetup at Puzzle Bored offers a welcoming space to say hello, meet a few people and get a taste of alcohol-free community in Brighton.

Tonic is a sober social community for gay, bi and queer men, and non-binary people who feel connected to gay male culture. We bring people together through regular alcohol-free socials across Brighton, including coffee meetups, games nights, walks, meals, creative events and trips out.

Whether you are in recovery, sober-curious, do not drink for health reasons, have never drunk, or simply want more sober social options, you are very welcome.

There is no need to share your story or commit to anything. You can just drop in, say hello and see whether Tonic feels right for you.
