Play Werewolf - Southwark

Hello! Come and join us at our weekly Wherewolf event. We play multiple games across the evening, so you'll get more than one opportunity to play. Wherewolf is a game of secret roles, with most playing for the Village or the Wolves. Both teams are trying to eliminate the other, figuring out information about other players to guide themselves to victory. And with sneaky extra characters with their own individual goals thrown into the mix too, games often lead to exciting and dramatic endings. If this is your first time playing, you are absolutely welcome! Whether you've played similar games before, or you're totally brand new to social deduction games, we'd love to have you. Come along, we'll happily guide you through the rules of the game, it's easy to pick up. Everybody comes to have fun, so people will help you out. We look forward to seeing you!
