Instructions on how to play Among Us game

How to play Among Us game is not too complicated. When there are enough people according to the game's requirements of 4-10 people, players will be randomly assigned to Crewmate or Impostor roles. Specifically, how to play Among Us game is as follows:

If assigned the role of Crewmate

When being a Crewmate, you need to be very calm to be able to analyze behaviors and data collected from in-game situations. From there, we searched for and exposed the murderers, who were Impostor. The Impostors will not appear but hide behind gentle, happy, friendly faces and blend in with the characters in the game to trick everyone.

Based on analytical experience, players will vote to indicate the correct Impostor. When the correct murderer is assigned, that character will be destroyed. The winning or losing factor will depend on your judgment and analytical experience.

At the same time, during the analysis process, the Crewmate also needs to ensure the implementation of tasks to ensure visibility and energy for the spacecraft to operate. When Impostor sabotages the ship, you will have to go fix the error so the ship can return to normal. If the time passes and the spacecraft is still damaged, the Crewmate side will lose.

If assigned to the role of Impostor

If assigned to the role of Impostor, you will be on the evil side but must pretend to be gentle and sociable so that the Crewmates cannot find out. During the game, you need to try to destroy as many Crewmates and fabricate as many alibis as possible. The purpose is to build their own innocence, while creating mutual suspicion among the Crewmates, causing disagreements in the Crewmates' search for Impostor.

There will only be a maximum of 3 Imposters in the game, so you will have to distract the Cremates from finding the villain by giving an alibi so they don't vote to destroy you. The more times you play the game, the more experience you will have to be able to perfectly transform into the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' character.

How to play the game

In the waiting room, an information board will be displayed in the left corner so players can easily understand the game rules, tasks as well as find a reasonable strategy for themselves. The game also supports many different languages ​​suitable for players around the world. Although players cannot choose roles, they can choose rooms with the number of impersonators being 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to increasing difficulty to increase the drama.

The game will take place in 1 of 3 pre-designed maps in the game including: Spaceship, Headquarters and a Planetary Base.

The Crewmate faction will have to take turns performing tasks that appear in the game such as connecting circuits, forming puzzles, taking out trash,. and repairing the ship when it is sabotaged. At the same time, when other players are murdered, Crewmates will analyze the data to deduce the evil person who is blending in.

The Impostor faction is only entrusted with fake missions, the main purpose of which is to assassinate crew members on the ship. At the same time, during the game, Impostor will have to sabotage the system, move in pipes to teleport to another area. Impostor has the ability to recognize and see other Impostors.

When a player is killed, they will turn into ghosts, able to move through walls and observe the game's progress but cannot interact with living characters. At that time, the killed player can also leave the game, but at that time you will not be able to know if the person who killed you will be exposed by other members or not. Staying and watching the game's progress also helps you learn a lot of experience to be better in the next games.

Crewmate will win when completing all missions before being killed by Impostors or finding all Impostors in the game. The Impostor side will win by killing Crewmates until the number of both sides is equal or until the spaceship repair time ends.
