I am sure you have probably heard of the popular game, Among Us. But, if you don’t know how to play, I got you covered! Here, you will find Among Us guides, tips, how to play, and more!

If you look above, that will be the screen shown when you first click on the game. As you can see, there is a “How To Play” button under “Local”. However, these only provide a few of the directions and you might need clarifying.

To play with friends in the same Wi-Fi network as yours, press on local. But, if you want to play with other people online, click on the online button. Before you choose, be sure to pick a username for your character, and don’t put your real name.

Among Us – Playing Online

Playing online means to play with other people, or strangers in a game. You can choose the map, the number of imposters you want in your game, and who’s game you want to play. The most common map is the SKELD. Being the imposter is what most people want, but you should learn to improve in both the imposter and crewmate role to be better at the overall game.

So, once you choose a game, you will be taken to the lobby, where you can customize your skin color, hat, and more. You will stay in the lobby until the host starts the game.

If you are the Imposter

Once the game has started, it will randomly choose an imposter, or two depending on the number of people. No one knows who the imposter is, so if you are, be sure to act nonchalant. Imposters have to be smart, and act like they are part of the crew by pretending to do their fake tasks, which are listed at the top left corner. The rest of the people will be crewmates. The imposter is able to sabotage, or vent. Sabotaging an area will allow you to kill a crewmate with less chances of getting caught. You can also vent if you are near one. But be sure not to stay in the vent, because people can call you out for not being seen.

Once the imposter has killed most of the crewmates, they win. But the crewmates can also win if they vote out the imposters or complete all their tasks first.

If you are a Crewmate

Cremates need to finish their tasks, and report people who seem a little sus, or suspicious. If you see a dead body, report it, and tell everyone if you saw anyone nearby who might be sus. They will believe you if you’re honest. Also, to gain people’s trust, try telling them to meet you in a place where you can do a visual task such as a med scan, or asteroids. But, you can only chat in the lobby, or if someone calls an emergency meeting.

If someone is following you, or acting sus, surround yourself with people and try to get away because they might be the imposter. You can also call an emergency meeting. If you do die, or get ejected, meaning everyone voted you out, then you become a ghost. In ghost form, you can still do your tasks, but you cannot report a body, or chat with people except for other ghosts. Try to use your common sense when discussing in an emergency meeting. Vote someone out only if you really believe they are the imposter. If you can’t think of anything, you can always skip vote. However, the person who the majority of people voted out will be ejected, and turned into a ghost. Ejected imposters can still sabotage, but they cannot kill you or vent.
