Among Us

Among Us asks a group to work together while giving someone a reason to undermine that cooperation. Crewmates move around completing tasks, but an impostor can sabotage the ship and eliminate players. The challenge is noticing what happened without treating every suspicion as proof.

Discussion and voting turn those observations into decisions. A convincing explanation might protect an innocent player, while a good alibi can keep an impostor in the game. Completing the crew's tasks offers another route to victory, so watching people is only part of the job.

It is particularly suited to groups that enjoy bluffing, deduction and talking through a messy situation. The Android listing supports online play or local Wi-Fi sessions with four to fifteen players. It contains advertisements and optional purchases. Expect a social multiplayer game rather than a solo space adventure.
