What is Among Us?

Use teamwork, persuasion and maybe even betrayal in this unique online party game... in space!

DEAD BODY REPORTED! 

Prepare for departure, but beware the Impostor! Complete tasks to hold your spaceship together and return to civilization, but keep an eye out as one or more random players among the crew are Impostors determined to sabotage the ship and kill everyone.

It's up to the remaining humans to finish their tasks and identify the Impostors to eject them into the abyss. But watch out! The Impostors will use every trick in the book to convince everyone they're a crewmate, so don't believe everything you hear. Get your alibi straight or else you might be the one wrongfully ejected!

Online cross-play enabled, play with 4-15 other players across PC, mobile and other consoles.

Among Us gameplay overview

Crewmates

Live life as a Crewmate as you complete all tasks and make sure everything is in working order. Found a dead body, or see someone acting suspicious? Call emergency meetings in order to talk to your crewmates to try and vote out the Impostors and hope you chose correctly!

Impostors

As an Impostor, your job is to sabotage the ship, eliminate the crew and frame innocent bystanders. You'll have a set of fake tasks to help you blend in and vents to get around. But be warned, observant crewmates may realise something's amiss. Think you're a master of sabotage and deception? Only one way to find out! 

Social deduction

Once a body has been reported or an emergency meeting called, everyone will debate who they think the Impostor is - including the Impostor themselves - who will lie and frame others for their dastardly deeds. Once the group has voted who they think the Impostor is, that player will be ejected. If all the Impostors are gone, the crew wins. If not, it's straight back to fixing the ship. Good luck.

Why you should play Among Us

"Absent of the kind of slick marketing that sends big budget blockbusters soaring into the stratosphere, Among Us has managed to carve out an almost iconic status in modern gaming entirely by virtue of how much fun it is.

The premise is simple: a group of online players are thrown together and charged with fixing a floundering spaceship, but secretly, one player is an impostor charged with sabotaging the others.

From this most straightforward of set-ups spawns a cavalcade of subterfuge, sneakiness and bold-faced cheek as the lone imposter attempts to out smart the rest. Whichever side you're on, Among Us is laugh-out loud fun."
