What is Blood on the Clocktower? Blood on the Clocktower is an advanced version of the game Werewolf, and crucially the dead still have an important role to play in the game. The game is run by a Storyteller who has carefully crafted an experience and facilitates the game for up to 20 players. It is part deduction and part deception. Set in the little village of Ravenswood Bluff, players in the game assume different roles, each with unique abilities to hunt down the evil or stay hidden as one.

For new players, check out this video created by our head storyteller Jeremy, to learn the basics of the game ahead of the event. There will also be time at the top of the game to review rules and ask questions.

We'll be playing the "Trouble Brewing" script, which is perfect for beginners.

Location

  1. We will be meeting in the parking lot for Lakeview Discovery Centre and our journey will start there.
  2. We will then walk to the Art Shelter. For accessibility, folks can meet us ahead there.
  3. The game will take place in the Art Shelter. The Art Shelter began as a post-pandemic response. In 2023, we purchased a 42-ft diameter geodesic dome from Arctic Acres. Then we built it in Mississauga, at 887 Hydro Road. In Spring 2024, we launched our first season of activities in this unique, beautiful and unconventional space. This is a place for Frog in Hand to rehearse and create, but it is also shared with our community. It is artist-run and community-engaged, an intentional act of climate leadership. Its limited footprint, flexibility and collaborative operating model provides space to incubate new ideas and forge community connections.

The Art Shelter is entirely off-grid without electricity and running water. It's a repurposed green house dome. It is used to cultivate and grow creative ideas. With this new artist hub, we hope we can do more with less in ways that are socially inclusive, environmentally proactive, and better aligned with an unpredictable future.

Frog in Hand

Frog in Hand began with a cast of frogs performing circus tricks under the artistic direction of two sisters, Noelle Hamlyn and Colleen Snell, who were one and five years old at the time. From this whimsical debut springs our firm belief that art begins in humble places – including the mud and grass of the backyard. Building on this modest foundation we have formed a diverse collective of dancers, fight choreographers, musicians, actors, spoken word poets, costume designers and visual artists who come together to create cross-disciplinary performances in unusual spaces. Our collective has national and international professional experience, having trained and performed in Canada (Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal), the United States (Chicago, Miami, New York), Japan, China, Korea, India, Ireland, Israel, Australia and England. Frog in Hand has received commissions from the Canada Council for the Arts (2016), the Ontario Arts Council (2014/15/16/17), the Guelph Dance Festival, Hillside Inside Festival, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kitchener Waterloo’s Night/Shift, the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Ontario’s Culture Days, the Mississauga Waterfront Festival, Springboard Danse Montreal (2015) and the Banff Centre for the Arts. Frog in Hand has created and produced many dance works – mostly site specific projects incorporating theatrical and visual elements. We've worked in parks, gazebos, a public water fountain, staircases, an abandoned gun factory, an elevator, art galleries, street corners and various theatres. Frog in Hand incorporated as a not-for profit in 2016.
