Among Us – Strategy, Teamwork, and Happy Hour

The game, Among Us, takes place in a space-themed setting, in which players each take on one of two roles, most being crewmates, and a predetermined number being impostors.  The crew must complete tasks before being eliminated and becoming a ghost.

Teamwork and Betrayal are the watchwords of this game.

Bring a friend and register so we know how many teams to plan for.

Here is a short tutorial on the game, and a beginner’s guide if you have never played.

Directions: Download the game from your phone’s app store. Develop a name for your avatar and register under the private section. Christian will send out the private code to enter the game just before starting time.
