Among Us

Among Us

Lauren Ingle, Assistant Editor

Among Us is an online game that is trending right now among the ages nine and up. If you are like me, when I am bored this game fills in all of my free time. Originally released on June 15th, 2018, it did not become popular until fall of 2020.

As of right now there are three maps players can choose from; spaceship, base, and planet. Players can play with four to ten players. The goal of the game is to find the one, two, or three impostors to win. If you are not an impostor, you are a crewmate. As a crewmate, you have to go around the map completing tasks. If all crewmates complete all tasks, then the game is ended and the impostors lose. However, the impostors go around and sabotage the map. They can also eliminate players one by one. When one of the eliminated players are found a meeting. The meetings consist of the crewmates and impostors that have not been eliminated yet. These meetings are to talk to one another and get ideas or feelings on the table to help find the impostors. At the end of these meetings you can choose to skip or you can choose to vote someone out. If you do not vote out the right person at the end, or the sabotages became too much then the impostor wins.

Have fun playing!
