Virtual

Among Us LIVE!

Among Us LIVE! is based on the virtual Among Us video game but played outside of an app. The goal of the game is to discover who the imposter is. 

​

• You will need one leader to manage the game.

  • The leader assigns each participant a color and either "crewmate" or "imposter" (keep this a secret!)​

  • Have participants come dressed in their color and change their Zoom backgrounds to match!

• The main Zoom room is managed by the leader

  • The leader will send participants to break out rooms to complete tasks (you can make as many rooms as you wish, I used 8 for 18 people)

• Breakout rooms

  • There is a task in each breakout room 

    • Task Examples:​

      • 1 – Count to ten using your fingers

      • 2 – Spin in a circle 4 times

      • 3 – Draw a cube

      • 4 – Say hello in 3 different languages

      • 5 – Find something in your room to match your color

      • 6 – Dance for exactly 1 minute

      • 7 – Balance something on your head for 30 seconds

      • 8 – Hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

  • Crewmates complete tasks but the imposter is unable to complete tasks. 

• Imposter

  • The imposter’s goal is to "wipe" the crew mates without being discovered

    • To wipe: say or private message “wiped you” to the target

    • Can only wipe when in the same breakout room

  • The imposter cannot complete tasks but can fake them!

• Crewmates

  • If wiped, change Zoom background to "wipe screen" (I used a computer static/pixilated background for this)

  • Remain wiped in the breakout room until “wiped body” has been called ​

• Voting

  • To call a meeting, return to the main room and the leader will bring all participants back. 

  • Discuss and suspicious behavior and wiped bodies found.

  • Take a vote on who the group believes the impost to be

    • Correct: game over and crewmates win​

    • Incorrect: continue playing by returning to breakout

Game ends when the crewmates correctly name the imposter or the imposter has wiped all but one crewmate.​​​
