Q&A for How to Play Among Us

You should not download hacks for Among Us, as this can lead to a permanent ban from the game. Activities like changing roles, completing tasks as an Impostor, or returning after being eliminated are easily detected and will result in your account being banned.

If no one votes during an emergency meeting, each unsubmitted vote automatically counts as a 'skip.' Similarly, if all submitted votes are tied, no single player receives a majority. In both these scenarios—no votes submitted or a tied vote—no one is ejected from the game.

To be convincing, quickly create an alibi or claim you were with another player. For instance, you might say, "I didn't kill Orange; I was with Black."

Bad words are censored to only those users who have Censor Chat turned on in the settings.

The host in Among Us does not have any special advantages, and being eliminated as the host does not automatically lead to a crew victory. The information you received was incorrect.

No. To win by tasks, all crewmates must complete their tasks, including ghosts, engineers, scientists, and guardian angels.

Direct your character to the main room that everyone starts out in and press the large, red button in the middle of the table that is in that room. The emergency meeting will be activated after that. But be careful when hosting an emergency meeting! An impostor might follow and kill you if you aren't fast enough. People might also consider you sus if you don't give your reasons for the meeting right away or don't have enough proof.

The engineer can vent because that was the ability assigned to this character. Since the other roles have a specific ability given to them, the engineer also has a specific ability to define it from other roles.

Prioritize completing your tasks efficiently. Crewmates observing you should see the task bar increase, confirming your role. Additionally, avoid actions that raise suspicion, such as lingering near vents, bypassing dead bodies, or neglecting tasks, as these can make you a prime target.

As the guardian angel (the first crewmate killed), you press "Protect". That is the only known way.

You are inadvertently helping the crewmates, your adversaries. This action reveals your teammate's role, which will likely lead to their immediate vote-out and make the game significantly harder for your impostor team.

No, your role in Among Us is not determined by your chosen color. Any color, such as red, blue, green, or purple, can be assigned the impostor role.

The game chooses who the imposter is at random. So you cannot make yourself this.

You can tell people that you are an engineer. While not all people could believe you, this is the only way out if people saw you vent. Or you can act casual as if you didn't care about players seeing you vent - not what an impostor would do. (Only, make sure this doesn't look like an impostor trolling.)

You need to have the engineer role, at which point you can vent. Be careful though. While crewmates now do not call out venting as much because of the update, the Impostor(s) can call you out to get you off.

By enabling the "confirm ejects" option, the game will say "User was/was not an Impostor". Having this option off will not display this message and will instead show "User was ejected", making it so that the remaining players do not know whether the ejected player was truly an Impostor.

To play on Nintendo Switch, you need an active Nintendo Switch online subscription.

No. If you are a ghost, you have either already been killed, voted out, or left the game. Impostors cannot kill or even see ghosts unless they are ghosts also.

Yes, the game's host manages the server and can choose to kick or ban players. Once a match begins, all players can also vote to eject another player during emergency meetings or after reporting a dead body.

On the bottom right corner, it may say “wikiHow left the game.” , “wikiHow was banned by player172” or “wikiHow was kicked by player172”.

No, your avatar's color won't affect anything. The colors are just there for customization and to help tell the difference between players.

The vents are all spread out in the maps. And they vary in location in each map, as well.

You can't kill crewmates, but you can still sabotage! Take advantage of that when you can; you might end up gaining a quicker victory if the crewmates don't fix O2 or the reactor in time.

A vent kill is when the impostor kills a crewmate and immediately uses the vents to exit the room afterward. This can prevent them from being seen if another crewmate enters the room after the kill occurs.

No, only imposters. As a crewmate you are trying to find out who is killing the other crewmates by voting. Obviously, the imposters will try and pretend that they aren't the ones killing, and they are part of your team.

Yes, since the November 2021 update, you can vent as a crewmate if you have the Engineer role.

It is likely because that is just how the map was made. It is all right though; as long as you don't get caught jumping in or out of a vent as the imposter, you'll be fine.

Definitely! It doesn't take up too much space and it doesn't run down your battery either.

The recommended map is the Skeld, it is the first map and is easy to understand.
