How would you like to solve a mystery? Would you like to play it in a video game form? Would you like to play a murder mystery? Then the game Among Us is just the right game for you because it's probably the best murder mystery game out there.
Between 4 to 10 players join, and they all complete tasks when the game is being played. The twist is that a player or players could be an imposter and come out to get you. It is up to the crew and all of the non-imposters to figure out who the true imposter(s) is. The imposter tries to kill somebody also while keeping his identity a secret. People can call emergency meetings to discuss their opinions to decide who to vote off, usually people call these meetings if they see the imposter(s) kill someone, or in these meetings, they discuss general suspicions about which of their number might be an imposter, chomping off player heads and leaving only cartoon bones behind.
Among Us may seem brand new, but it isn’t! Among Us is actually 2 years old since COVID-19 hit the USA. People have been staying inside more and have been playing more video games lately. Once this twitch streamer named sodapoppin (Chance Morris) was streaming this game on twitch called Among Us (a murder mystery game) to his 2.8 million subscribers, and this is truly how Among Us became on fire and took off. Then after this you tubers were playing this game like PewDiePie, James Charles, and Dr. Lupo. After this, this game began to skyrocket.
One crewmate has been replaced by a shapeshifter. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches Earth. The Impostor will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off everyone in the crew.
While everyone is trying to fix up the ship and finish their tasks, no one can talk to maintain anonymity. Once a body is reported, the surviving crew will openly debate who they think the Impostor(s) is. The Impostor's goal is to pretend that they are a member of the crew. If The Impostor(s) is not voted off, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found. If The Impostor(s) is voted off, the crew wins!
Among Us today has become a very popular and successful game with people playing everywhere. People have been playing in quarantine with their friends and staying connected. People have also been making new friends and having fun when they are detectives and the imposter(s).
You can get Among Us free on the Apple Store for all of the new IOS devices, and you can get Among Us also for free on the Google Play store on Google devices such as the Google Pixel Phones and tablets. However, on Windows PCs and computers other than Apple, Among Us costs 5.99 on the Steam store.
