About this game
Join your crewmates in a multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal! Play online or over local WiFi with 4-15 players as you attempt to hold your spaceship together and return back to civilization. But beware... as there may be an alien impostor aboard!
One or more crewmates have been replaced by dangerous shapeshifters - Impostors. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches home. The Impostors will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, deceive, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off the crew.
While fixing up the ship, no one can talk to maintain anonymity. Once a body is reported or an emergency meeting is called, the surviving crew will openly debate who they think The Impostors are. The Impostors' goal is to pretend that they are members of the crew. If The Impostor is not voted off, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found or another emergency meeting is called.
If The Impostors are voted off, or if the Crewmates complete all their tasks, the Crew wins! Otherwise, the Impostors win. It's a constant battle of wits, deduction, and bluffing.
Core Gameplay Features:
- Crewmate Life: Complete all your tasks on the ship to win, but watch out for Impostors! Report dead bodies and call emergency meetings to vote the Impostors out. Hope you chose correctly!
- Impostor Play: Cause chaos, sneak around, and frame innocent bystanders. Winning involves killing off the crew and sabotaging their efforts. Think you’re a master of deception?

Among Us offers a unique social experience where communication, trust, and betrayal are key. Every game is different, depending on the players, the chosen settings, and the unpredictable actions of the Impostors. Can you figure out who is sabotaging the mission? Or, if you are the Impostor, can you deceive everyone until the very end?
The game supports text and voice chat (via external apps like Discord) during meeting phases, allowing for intense discussions and hilarious accusations. Finding a good group to play with regularly can lead to unforgettable gaming moments filled with laughter, suspicion, and the occasional betrayal of a close friend. Master the art of observation as a Crewmate, or perfect your lying skills as an Impostor. Good luck, and try not to get ejected!
Beyond the core loop, there's a surprising amount of depth. Learning map layouts, common task locations, vent connections, and optimal sabotage strategies is crucial for high-level play. Understanding visual tasks (tasks that others can see you complete) can prove your innocence, while faking tasks convincingly is an Impostor's bread and butter. Different roles add layers of complexity – an Engineer can use vents like an Impostor, adding confusion, while a Scientist can check vitals to see who recently died. The Guardian Angel can protect surviving Crewmates after death. Mastering these roles and their interactions is key to victory. The game also features extensive settings customization, allowing hosts to tweak player speed, task counts, cooldowns, and visibility, tailoring the experience to their group's preferences. Whether you prefer fast-paced chaos or slow, methodical deduction, Among Us can be adjusted to fit your style. Dive deep into the strategies, form alliances (carefully!), and become the ultimate Crewmate or Impostor!
