Basic Rules Of Among Us
What Is Among Us?
Among Us is a party game for 4-10 players. Players are divided into 2 teams, Crewmates and Impostors. The goal of the Crewmates is to complete tasks to maintain and fix the spaceship, while the Impostor's goal is to sabotage the entire mission before the task gauge fills up. Players will discuss amongst each other, vote for suspicious players and eject them out into the cold abyss of space. Crewmates can also win by ejecting all Impostors.
Objectives Of Each Role
| Role | Objective |
|---|---|
| Crewmates | - Complete tasks and fill up the gauge - Eject all Impostors - Fix the sabotaged devices |
| Imposters | - Kill off Crewmates - Sabotage O2 or Reactor and have the countdown reach the end |

Complete Tasks
As a Crewmate, your main job will be to complete tasks to fill up the task gauge. All Crewmates share the same gauge displayed in left upper part of the screen. The Crewmate team wins when this gauge is filled, but you'll have to avoid getting killed by Impostors while doing this.
Eject All Impostors
When a member of your team seems to be particularly suspicious, report it to other players and try to vote them out. There are 2 ways of initiating a discussion phase; finding a dead body (and reporting it) or push the emergency meeting button. This is the only time you'll be able to communicate with other players.

Kill Crewmate
If you are an Impostor, your main job will be to sow discord among the ship and sabotage it. One way to do this is to kill Crewmates. When killing Crewmates, you need to be careful not to be seen by other players, as they can and will out you as an Imposter.
Sabotage Devices & Create Chaos
Sabotaging has different effects such as forcing Crewmates to relocate to certain rooms to fix a device or turning off the lights to limit Crewmates' vision. Impostors can also win by sabotaging the O2 or the reactor. If the countdown reaches 0, you'll win the game!
