If you haven’t played Among Us yet, where have you been? This game has actually been out for about two years but has skyrocketed in popularity in the past few months. It is available for free on mobile (Apple and Android) and on Steam (PC) for $4.99. You can play in public lobbies but many people, included numerous well known streamers, enjoy playing with friends as well.
In this game, you play as either a crewmate or an imposter. As a crewmate, your job is to finish your tasks before the imposter can kill everyone on board. As the imposter, you need to off everyone before they can finish their tasks or figure out your true identity. Whenever someone reports a body or calls an emergency meeting, you will get the chance to vote off the potential imposter. Here’s where you get to really put your acting and sleuthing skills to the test. Make sure you pay attention to who’s doing what task and out someone immediately if you see them go into a vent.
So, now that you know how to play, you also want to know how to look great doing it, right? Among Us is a simple game but it does give you several ways to customize your character’s appearance. Without any additional upgrades, you can change your character’s color. But Among Us takes it one step further with hats, skins, and pets. To be clear, these are purely cosmetic and do not change gameplay. But they do give you a great way to flex on your friends. There are 93 hats, 15 skins, and 10 pets available. We’ve already looked at the best hats and skins, so let’s go ahead and rank the pets in order.
