Festival of Monsters: Blood on the Clocktower

It’s a game full of monstrous intentions. Join players 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, for Blood on the Clocktower at Game Santa Cruz (1101 Cedar St., downtown Santa Cruz). In this bluffing game, a demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some players have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. Who is the monster? One has to play to find out. Part of the 2025 Festival of Monsters, hosted by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Monster Studies. Learn more about the Center for Monster Studies here.
