Social Deduction Saturday

Social Deduction Saturday

Welcome back fellow Ravenswood townsfolk(?), we're entering back into Ravenswood Bluff with a new custom script. Measure Twice Cut Once is a script all about investigating and narrowing down your target because executing blind may not be the best choice. Before you pull the trigger you'll need to deduce if you're killing your Saint or the Boomdandy, or perhaps strategic babysitting keeps the demon out of your grasp each and every time. Good has many ways to figure things out but Evil has just as many ways to throw a wrench into the works, do you have what it takes to bring your team to victory?

The event will be the typical $8 per person and will take place in our main area where you can participate in the game. Space is limited so be sure to buy your ticket ahead of time and we'll spend the night solving mysteries and deducing who is terrorizing the town.

Purchase your tickets: Social Deduction Saturday (5/24)
