Among Us is a thrilling multiplayer social deduction game developed by Innersloth, where teamwork meets deception in outer space. Players assume the roles of either Crewmates working to maintain their spacecraft or Impostors secretly working to sabotage the mission. This beginner's guide will help you grasp core gameplay mechanics and develop strategies for both roles, whether playing with friends or public lobbies.

Understanding Crewmates and Impostors

The game supports 4-15 players across five distinct maps: The Skeld, Polus, MIRA HQ, The Airship, and Fungle. At the start, players are randomly assigned one of two key roles:

• Crewmates: Complete tasks around the ship while identifying and voting out Impostors
• Impostors: Sabotage systems, eliminate Crewmates, and avoid detection

A round concludes when Crewmates complete all tasks, successfully vote out all Impostors, or when Impostors eliminate enough Crewmates to dominate.

Emergency Meetings: Key to Survival

Emergency Meetings form the core social interaction mechanic where players debate suspicious behavior. Any player can call a meeting by pressing the emergency button in the lobby area, prompting a group discussion where players present evidence and vote on who to eject.

Impostors often use this feature to sow confusion, while Crewmates rely on these discussions to uncover deception through behavioral tells and alibi checking.
