  • Question
    How do I download hacks?
    Community Answer
    I do not recommend this, as this can and does get you banned, especially if you are caught doing activity you would otherwise not be able to do (changing roles, doing tasks as Impostor, coming back after being voted off/killed, etc.).
  • Question
    What if there is an emergency meeting, and nobody votes or everybody gets one vote?
    Dinuli
    Community Answer
    If everyone gets an equal vote or it is not possible to decide who got the most votes, no one gets ejected and it becomes a tie. However, if the majority votes skip, no one will get ejected and it becomes a skip (where everyone chooses not to vote and throw someone out). If somebody doesn't vote before the meeting comes to an end, his/her vote automatically becomes a skip. So if there is an emergency meeting and nobody votes or everybody gets one vote each, no one would get thrown out and it becomes a 'skip' :-)
  • Question
    How do I come up with a convincing argument if I was the Imposter?
    Emmecarque
    Community Answer
    You can try to make up a quick lie, or just say you were with someone else. (Ex: I didn't kill orange, I was with black.)
  • Question
    What words are censored in the Among Us chat?
    Alex
    Community Answer
    Bad words are censored to only those users who have Censor Chat turned on in the settings.
  • Question
    Someone said that if you kill the host, the crew wins. I was the host of a game and I was killed but nothing happened except me becoming a ghost. Is it a glitch, or did the person lie or didn't know?
    Community Answer
    The host has no advantage over the other players, so I don't recommend trying to get killed by those impostors to win.
  • Question
    If you are the only one who did all your tasks as a crewmate or a role will all the crewmates win for do all of the crewmates have to do there tasks to win?
    Community Answer
    No. To win by tasks, all crewmates must complete their tasks, including ghosts, engineers, scientists, and guardian angels.
  • Question
    How do I call an emergency meeting?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    Direct your character to the main room that everyone starts out in and press the large, red button in the middle of the table that is in that room. The emergency meeting will be activated after that. But be careful when hosting an emergency meeting! An impostor might follow and kill you if you aren't fast enough. People might also consider you sus if you don't give your reasons for the meeting right away or don't have enough proof.
  • Question
    Why can the engineer vent?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    The engineer can vent because that was the ability assigned to this character. Since the other roles have a specific ability given to them, the engineer also has a specific ability to define it from other roles.
  • Question
    How do I stop being really sussy in front of my fellow crew mates even when I'm not impostor?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    Complete your tasks as you should, but try not to take too long to complete the tasks. If your fellow crew mates are watching you do tasks, they should notice the task bar go up and conclude that you're a crew mate as a result. Avoid standing on vents, passing by dead bodies inadvertently, or not doing any tasks. All of these can place a huge target on your back.
  • Question
    If I am a guardian angel, how do I protect crew mates?
    Alex
    Community Answer
    As the guardian angel (the first crewmate killed), you press "Protect". That is the only known way.
  • Question
    Why is my imposter teammate mad that I told him to kill someone during the meeting?
    Alex
    Community Answer
    Because then you help your enemies/the crewmates. That will force them to vote out your impostor buddy, and the game will get harder!
  • Question
    Is red the impostor?
    Alex
    Community Answer
    Not always, your roles do not depend on your in-game color. Sometimes purple could be the impostor, or green, or black, or blue, and so on!
  • Question
    Can you make yourself an impostor or does the game choose?
    Community Answer
    The game chooses who the imposter is at random. So you cannot make yourself this.
  • Question
    What happens if I am an engineer (a crewmate who can vent), when should I vent so I won't get voted out?
    Jocelyn
    Community Answer
    You can tell people that you are an engineer. While not all people could believe you, this is the only way out if people saw you vent. Or you can act casual as if you didn't care about players seeing you vent - not what an impostor would do. (Only, make sure this doesn't look like an impostor trolling.)
  • Question
    How do I vent as a crewmate?
    Community Answer
    You need to have the engineer role, at which point you can vent. Be careful though. While crewmates now do not call out venting as much because of the update, the Impostor(s) can call you out to get you off.
  • Question
    What is "confirm ejects"?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    By enabling the "confirm ejects" option, the game will say "User was/was not an Impostor". Having this option off will not display this message and will instead show "User was ejected", making it so that the remaining players do not know whether the ejected player was truly an Impostor.
  • Question
    Do you need Nintendo Switch online?
    Community Answer
    To play on Nintendo Switch, you need an active Nintendo Switch online subscription.
  • Question
    Can impostors kill me if I am a ghost?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    No. If you are a ghost, you have either already been killed, voted out, or left the game. Impostors cannot kill or even see ghosts unless they are ghosts also.
  • Question
    What happens if a player is kicked from the game? Is anyone in charge of each server?
    SoulHelp
    Community Answer
    Yes, the creator is in charge. But if the creator doesn’t like the player or does not want them in their server, they may kick or ban them. So, the creator is kicking or banning players. When the game starts, every player will be able to kick players off when an emergency or dead body report happens.
  • Question
    How do you know if a user is kicked from the game?
    SoulHelp
    Community Answer
    On the bottom right corner, it may say “wikiHow left the game.” , “wikiHow was banned by player172” or “wikiHow was kicked by player172”.
  • Question
    Does it matter what color my avatar is?
    TheJadePrincess1008
    Community Answer
    No, your avatar's color won't affect anything. The colors are just there for customization and to help tell the difference between players.
  • Question
    Where are the vents?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    The vents are all spread out in the maps. And they vary in location in each map, as well.
  • Question
    I am an imposter and I am a ghost, can I kill crewmates?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    You can't kill crewmates, but you can still sabotage! Take advantage of that when you can; you might end up gaining a quicker victory if the crewmates don't fix O2 or the reactor in time.
  • Question
    What is a vent kill?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    A vent kill is when the impostor kills a crewmate and immediately uses the vents to exit the room afterward. This can prevent them from being seen if another crewmate enters the room after the kill occurs.
  • Question
    Can I kill as a crewmate or not?
    Rextee33
    Community Answer
    No, only imposters. As a crewmate you are trying to find out who is killing the other crewmates by voting. Obviously, the imposters will try and pretend that they aren't the ones killing, and they are part of your team.
  • Question
    Can you vent as a crewmate?
    Community Answer
    As of the November 2021 update, you can vent as crewmate, provided the crewmate has the engineer role.
  • Question
    Why are the vents in Skield and Polus not connected, but in Mira HQ the vents all link up to each other?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    It is likely because that is just how the map was made. It is all right though; as long as you don't get caught jumping in or out of a vent as the imposter, you'll be fine.
  • Question
    Can I play on a phone?
    KY_GirlatHeart
    Community Answer
    Definitely! It doesn't take up too much space and it doesn't run down your battery either.
  • Question
