Welcome to Dragonswood Bluff
17th to 19th July 2026
Social deduction in Wales
Between 18th and 20th July 2025 we took over Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Cyncoed Campus and transformed it into Dragonswood Bluff! More than 150 of you joined us for a weekend of social deduction and dragon enthusiasm.
This year we’re back for another go!
Dragonswood Bluff is returning and having taken your feedback into consideration we’ve moved venues to the Leonardo Hotel in Cardiff.
What’s going on?
Dragonswood Bluff is taking over the Leonardo Hotel in Cardiff for a weekend of social deduction, games and adventures. With space for 200 of your friends we’ll backstab, murder and lie to each other. There will be multiple rooms available so you won’t have people struggling to be heard over other games going on.
The hit social deduction game by The Pandemonium Institute “Blood On The Clocktower” will be at the centre of this Welsh Weekender, where you will need a level head to survive. A classic game of good vs evil, in a similar vein to the likes of Werewolf, Among Us, Secret Hitler, Avalon, as well as the hit BBC Show The Traitors. If you’re good, you’ve got to work together with those around you to find the evil team, whilst remembering that not everyone will be telling you the truth. If you’re evil, your job is to cause chaos and confusion while assisting your demon. For a full breakdown of how the game is played, watch this video.
Other activities and features happening over the weekend include:
- a massive 50 player game of SPIES hosted by Nicky
- the Saturday evening quiz
- on-site food and drinks all weekend
- and more to be announced!
The event will run from Friday 17th July to Sunday 19th July for weekend ticket holders, and there’s a limited number of day tickets available too.
- Fri 4pm – 11pm
- Sat 9am – 11pm
- Sun 9am – 4pm
How much?
Weekend tickets are £45 and day tickets are £27.50 per day.
There aren’t any day tickets for Friday though… so if you want the full experience, go for the weekend ticket.
