Among Us is a multiplayer video game where players take on the roles of crewmates on a spaceship, while some players are randomly chosen as "impostors." The goal of the crewmates is to complete tasks on the spaceship and identify the impostors, while the goal of the impostors is to sabotage the tasks and kill the crewmates without getting caught.
Variations
Hardcore mode: Play with no discussion time during meetings. Players must cast their votes immediately, which makes it harder to determine who the imposter is.
Roleplaying mode: Give each player a character to roleplay, such as a detective, a psychic, or a sheriff. Each character has special abilities that can help determine who the imposter is.
Sabotage-only mode: Play a game where only the imposter can sabotage, but they can't kill. The crewmates must try to fix the sabotages before time runs out, while the imposter tries to cause chaos.
Reverse roles mode: In this mode, all players are imposters, and they must try to kill each other while pretending to do tasks. The last imposter standing wins.
One imposter vs. everyone mode: In this mode, only one person is the imposter, and everyone else is a crewmate. The imposter must try to kill all the crewmates without getting caught.
Hide and seek mode: The imposter announces who they are at the beginning of the game, and then counts to a certain number before starting to hunt down the crewmates. The crewmates must try to complete their tasks while avoiding the imposter.
GAME RULES
Among Us is a multiplayer game that involves a group of players working together on a spaceship or space station. The players are divided into two groups: Crewmates and Imposters. The Crewmates are tasked with completing various tasks around the spaceship, while the Imposters are trying to sabotage the mission and kill off the Crewmates without getting caught.
The rules of Among Us are relatively simple. At the start of the game, players are randomly assigned roles as either Crewmates or Imposters. Crewmates must work together to complete their tasks while keeping an eye out for any suspicious behavior. Imposters must blend in with the Crewmates and try to sabotage the mission without getting caught.
If a player finds a dead body, they can report it to the other players and try to identify the killer. Players can also call emergency meetings to discuss any suspicious behavior they may have noticed. If the Crewmates can identify and vote off the Imposters, they win the game. If the Imposters manage to kill off enough Crewmates or sabotage the mission, they win the game.
GAME SETUP
The setup for Among Us is relatively simple. Here are the basic steps:
Install the game: Among Us is available for free on mobile devices, or can be purchased on PC through Steam.
Create or join a lobby: The game is played online, so you will need to either create a new game or join an existing one. If you create a new game, you can customize settings like the number of players, the map, and the game rules.
Assign roles: Players will be randomly assigned one of two roles: Crewmate or Imposter. The number of imposters depends on the number of players in the game.
Complete tasks (Crewmates): Crewmates must work together to complete tasks around the map. These tasks vary in difficulty and are located in different areas of the map.
Sabotage and kill (Imposters): Imposters must sabotage the ship and kill other players without being caught. They can also vent to different areas of the map to avoid being seen.
Call emergency meetings: Players can call emergency meetings to discuss suspicions and vote on who they think is the imposter.
Vote and eliminate (All players): After a meeting is called, all players will vote on who they think the imposter is. The player with the most votes is eliminated from the game.
Continue until victory: The game continues until either all tasks are completed (and the Crewmates win), or all imposters are eliminated (and the Imposters win).
