If you are looking for a game to play on your phone wherever you are, you need to download “Among Us.”
“Among Us” is a game where up to 10 people can join and will be deemed either an imposter or a crewmate.
An imposter is the person running around “sabotaging” each room in the game to, essentially, kill the crewmates.
The crewmates, in turn, try and avoid the imposter while they go about doing tasks in different rooms in the game before the imposter kills each crewmate off.
If an imposter kills someone, the body is left behind for the other people to find it and given the option to ‘report’ it.
Reporting it brings everyone to a group discussion to try and figure out who the imposter is by chatting amongst everyone playing the game.
At the end of discussion time, you are given the option to vote someone out or skip the vote so no one will be ejected.
If enough votes are tallied up against someone, they can get voted off the game and be seen as a ghost on screen, the same outcome as if you are killed by an imposter.
The game is made up of people of all ages from all over the place. You can get in games with friends who also have the app by entering a six-digit code.
The little characters posing as crewmates and imposters can be personalized by colors.
The different options of colors are red, blue, dark green, pink, orange, yellow, black, white, purple, brown, cyan or lime green.
People typically reference to each other by their color, but you can also enter a name of your choice.
As the game has gone on, people have started a slang for people who they think is an imposter and call them “sus” short for suspicious. It emerged fast and people everywhere use the term.
This game is a fun way to just sit down and submerge into the online gaming world; chat with the people playing in your group, send your friends the code, and run and either do your tasks or try to kill the crewmates.
