Krampusnacht The game
For bars, cafés and game nights

Krampusnacht at your bar.

December 5, or any night in December. Everyone wears horns. Only some are real.

A party game your guests play at the table, with a house voice that runs the night. Your staff pour; a guest at each table moderates while the house voice calls the night. Then the boxes sell at the register.

Write to hello@clovenhoofclub.com with your bar's name, address and the night you have in mind, and we'll send bar pack terms. In stock; ships within 3 business days.

How the night runs

Mingle. Accuse. Survive last call.

i.

Set the tables

Each box runs a table of 6 to 10 players. Every table picks one Moderator, who watches and doesn't play.

ii.

Play the house voice

Open the narrated night on a phone by a speaker. It calls every role, times every choice and runs the clock to the vote. The band plays underneath.

iii.

Pour Ginger's recipes

Three cocktails from the recipe cards in the box make the night's menu: the Clawed-Fashioned, the Sin-amon Negroni and the Horned Harvest Sour. Each has a zero-proof version.

iv.

Sell the box

Guests who played want one for their own party. Keep the bar pack by the register.

A game takes about half an hour, and nobody stops at one. It's naughty and witty, not gory: black tie and candlelight, not a haunted house.

Questions

How many boxes?

One per table. Ten boxes run ten tables, up to a hundred players. Smaller rooms: write to us.

Who runs it?

The house voice. Each table needs one person to be its Moderator, who watches the eyes, nods for the Seer and names who's missing. Your staff only pour.

Can we reorder?

Yes. We print in small batches and keep stock through Christmas.
