Pop Up Playground at the Melbourne International Comedy FestivalA secret killer has infiltrated the inner circle of your society: a werewolf on the village council, an evil traitor among the mightiest heroes, a shape shifting alien replacing a top agent… It might even be the leader of your faction. Will you find them out? Or will they get you first? We present new twist on the classic Werewolf, which you’ll play alongside some of your favourite comedians. The game is based on accusation and argument; playing in groups including our guests stars, you’ll seek out the killers and traitors and condemn them to gruesome death. Of course, your own leader might be one of the traitors – in which case, you’d better hope they’re a terrible liar, or you’ll be helping them destroy your community from within…
