Among Us: How to Play - A Guide to Deception and Detection

Welcome, Crewmate! You’ve just joined a vibrant spaceship, but be warned—a shapeshifting Impostor is lurking among your friends. Your mission seems simple: complete all your tasks to maintain the ship or identify and eject the Impostor. But trust me, it’s a psychological battlefield where paranoia is your constant companion.

As a Crewmate, you'll be busy running around the map, fixing wires, downloading data, and swiping card keys. Each completed task fills the group's progress bar at the top of the screen. Stay focused, but never let your guard down. Keep an eye on your fellow crewmates. Did you see Red venting in Electrical? That’s a sure sign of an Impostor! Or did they just run past a dead body without reporting it? Suspicious.

If you are the Impostor, your heart will pound. Your goal is to sabotage the ship and eliminate Crewmates without being caught. Use the vents to travel swiftly and unseen. Create chaos by triggering critical malfunctions like shutting off the oxygen. While everyone scrambles to fix it, you can strike. Blend in, fake tasks, and point fingers. A well-timed lie in a emergency meeting can seal a Crewmate's fate.

The true game begins when a body is reported or someone calls an emergency meeting. This is where friendships are tested. Present your alibi, point out inconsistencies in others' stories, and read body language. Was Green awfully quiet? Did Blue accuse someone with shaky evidence? Vote wisely. Ejecting the wrong person brings the Impostor one step closer to victory. Remember, in the cold vacuum of space, the greatest threat isn't always the monster—it's the doubt in your own mind.
