Among Us: Teachers Edition

By Peter Cho & Timothy Christian

A new trend of a mobile game has caught the interest of many users recently. “Among Us” is a multiplayer game with a concept that there are imposters inside a spaceship where other crewmates have to find out who the imposters are. It recently has reached more than 6,500,000 downloads in Google Play and it reached first place in both App Store and Google Play. A huge merit this game has compared to other games is that it can allow up to 10 players playing together, and it is a good game to play with your friends. Another merit this game has is that anyone can enjoy regardless of the quality of their device. The game is not very heavy, and it has cute characters and simple rules which attract lots of users.

The rules are simple:

If you are an imposter, you need to trick everyone else and act like a crewmate, secretly killing all other crewmates until the number of crewmates remaining equals the number of imposters remaining. Imposters can use “sabotage” to distract other crewmates from completing their missions and you can use a vent to transport to other rooms instantly.

If you are a crewmate, you need to complete all your missions or find out who the imposter is and get him out of the spaceship by voting in meetings.

You can call an emergency meeting if you have something to say, or you can report a dead body and the meeting will automatically begin.

You can play Among Us with your friends, but you can also play it with strangers on a public server. Even if you do not have your friends available to play, you can still play on your own. However, you should always be careful not to expose your personal information such as your address and your phone number. Once it is shared online, you might never be able to take it back.

On November 7th, three senior boys played Among Us with some of our teachers. You can watch what happened right here:
