How to play Among Us?
Among Us is basically a game of survival, where you have to either vote out all the cheaters and complete all the tasks, and kill all the crew, or stop them from completing the specified tasks to win. If you’ve been named a crewmate, your job is to find the traitor. Of course, being a cheater is a lot of fun because you can cheat and kill your friends.
A imposter needs to kill the crewmates and make sure no one is able to get out of places. Players can also vote for other players by location. Note, if you have a large number of players, you can also select multiple cheats. No crew member can talk while performing the task until someone’s death is reported. When someone dies, the crew has the opportunity to vote to find the imposter.
