Welcome to the guide to Among Us. It’s a simple to assume independent game, which has recently gained great popularity. It is available on PC, and on Android and iOS phones you can download it for free.

The title from InnerSloth studio is based on cooperation or acting against a group of players in secret – depending on which role we draw before the round.

Interface and On-screen Markings

It is worth knowing the markings and elements of the HUD before you enter the first online game. This way, you immediately know what to pay attention to. Let’s start with the interface visible when playing as Crewmate.

• 1 – The task status bar (at the top) and the list of your tasks to perform (below).
• 2 – Yellow borders are surrounded by those objects and places you have to use to complete a task.
• 3 – Name of the area you are in (useful to tell later where you saw another player or body.
• 4 – Game options (at the top) and location map (below).
• 5 – Reporting button, to be used when you see the body of a murdered person.
• 6 – Interaction button, to be used when you use the devices you are using to perform tasks.

Look at the Impostor

• 7 – The Impostor also sees the overall progress of the crew tasks (at the top) and has a false list of fake tasks (below)
• 8 – Players who can be killed have a red border.
• 9 – The Kill button (left) is used to murder a player and the Sabotage button (right) is used to sabotage, i.e. to spoil some elements of the base.

How to Play to Win?

The gameplay in Among Us is at first glance uncomplicated, but due to the presence of other players it is not possible to plan it in such a way as to win every time. However, you can significantly increase your chances of winning, which is also discussed in this chapter – both from the perspective of the crew member and the impostor.

Depending on who you will play in Among Us – crewman or cheater (Impostor) – the game will differ significantly. In case of a crew member, there are several rules to remember:

Perform tasks. Each of the crews has their own list of tasks to perform. If everyone completes them, the progress bar will load to the end and the Impostors will lose.

Stay close to others. The more players around you, the harder it will be for the crook to kill one of you. Running alone usually ends badly.

Do not ignore sabotages. Fraudsters will regularly sabotage the base. Here you have to pay special attention to the O2 and Reactor rooms – in case of sabotage you have 30 seconds to repair, if you don’t make it, the whole match will end with the impostors winning.

Report problems. If you find a corpse, report it immediately. It is worth looking around – if another player has run out of the room with a corpse, there is a good chance that he is the impostor.

Talk to the rest of the team. Almost at any time you can start a discussion and vote to communicate with the rest of the team and get all the information. This will help you to choose the impostor.

Do not trust anyone. If you are not absolutely sure that a player is a crewman – you have seen him do the job – you must assume that he may be a impostor. Never be alone with anyone, not even a seemingly trusted player – because he may suddenly stick a knife in your back.

Use the Security and Admin rooms. In the first one you will find security cameras that will allow you to view several rooms. The second one will give you a preview on a map, where other players will be marked – if any icon disappears there suddenly, it means that a impostor killed someone there.

The game of impostor is completely different, because your goal is to kill all players. However, it is also worth remembering a few rules, such as:

Watch out for cameras . If a player is just sitting in the Security room, he can watch you through the cameras. If you commit such a murder or use a ventilation grid, you will probably be reported and thrown out of the ship.

Don’t do anything wrong. It is not an art to kill a player so that after 5 seconds someone will find the body and easily point you to the guilty party. Always look for the right opportunity. Kill players separated from the rest and above all when you are sure that the rest of the team is not around.

Do not kill immediately. It is worth refraining from killing to gain the trust of one or more players. Travel with someone and don’t kill them even if you are alone – this way the other person will decide that you are not an impostor, because you didn’t kill them when you had the chance. This will be useful during voting, especially in the final stages of the game.

Use the ventilation grids. Thanks to them you can move quickly – it is a great way to escape safely after a murder. Remember, however, that only scammers can use them – if another player notices you, they will definitely report you.

Sabotage the actions of the crews. As a fraudster you can sabotage numerous systems – turn off the lights, damage the O2 system or overheat the reactors. Some of these actions can lead to your victory if the crews do not deal with the fault – each of them will give you additional possibilities and chance to kill someone.

Work with other Impostor. There can be up to 3 of you in the game, so it is worth cooperating. One person can make a fuss in one part of the map, the other can murder somewhere else.

Sow chaos during the discussion. You can take part in discussions and votes, so use this to mix in other players’ heads – for example, accusing someone else of using air grids.
