Is there anyone not playing Among Us right now? The Among Us player count peaked at almost 400,000 concurrent players in the past 30 days on Steam. In April this year, the monthly peak did not even reach 1.000. With so many new players, there is a serious need of guidance. Don't worry; we're here to help you win the Crewmate with our first Among Us guide on being the best darn detective you can (and probably losing some friends in the process).
Among Us is a multiplayer game played by groups of 4 to 10 people. Most of the players are Crewmates, but 1 to 3 of them (depending on the game settings and player count) are Imposters. The Crewmates have to figure out who the Imposters are and vote them out, while the Imposters try to sabotage and kill as many Crewmates as possible - until the numbers are so low the Imposters can't be voted out.
In theory, your job as a Crewmate is simple: try to avoid getting killed, fill up the task bar and find out who is murdering your team. As it turns out in practice, however, it's not that easy. Good Crewmates have to be perceptive, mistrustful, communicative and knowledgeable about the game. The following Crewmate tips will show you how to do that. Oh, and if you're having fun with the game then why not check out some of the many other games like Among Us so you can stress-test those friendships all over again.
