Sunday 28th September 2025
Location: Rothe House & Garden 16 Parliament Street R95 P89C Kilkenny
The night draws ever inward, the wind bites at your heels, and the full moon shines coldly overhead. In the morning, a body is found. Murder. Tomorrow will bring another. Will you and your neighbours find the killers before it’s too late? Or are you the very beast that stalks the darkness?

The Werewolves of Ossory brings the social deduction game of Werewolf to the historic setting of medieval Kilkenny. In the vein of The Traitors, players will be given a secret role at the beginning of each game. Some will be werewolves, some will be villagers, others will have special roles that will aid or hinder the investigation as the villagers try to root out the killers before they are consumed one-by-one. Paranoia and scandal will run rampant, and only the most cold-blooded liars, the most unrelenting sleuths, and the most haplessly lucky will survive.

The event will take place on two nights when the moon shines brightest:

Wednesday October 8th
Wednesday November 5th

Doors: 6:45pm
First Game: 7pm

The length of each game will vary depending on group size and sheer luck, but there will be a minimum of 3 games per night. Brand new players are especially welcome and will be aided along by our expert storyteller.

Part of the game will be played in the courtyard of Rothe House, so dress for the autumn night.
Cloaks encouraged.
