Help!?
What can we use if we don't have paper, a pencil, or a device to play Among Us?
If you don't have paper and pencil, use a notes app, sticky notes, or a whiteboard to write observations, and if you don't have a device ask to borrow a phone/tablet or use the web version so you can open Among Us and join a game.
What if I keep getting Impostor or can't practice Crewmate the way the instructions say?
Follow the step to leave and join another round when assigned Impostor, or make a private lobby with friends or a parent so you can control roles and practice completing tasks while keeping notes on your paper and pencil.
How can I adapt the game instructions for different ages or skill levels?
For younger players, simplify by choosing one nearby task at a time and having an adult help press Report and read your notes, while older kids can time task completion, write detailed suspicious-action logs, and make a longer crewmate skills checklist to share on DIY.org.
How can we personalize or extend the activity after finishing the basic steps?
Personalize it by color-coding your paper notes, adding small drawings of suspicious actions, setting a goal to reduce task time, and then upload your finished crewmate skills checklist to DIY.org to track improvement.

Facts about social deduction games for kids
🎮 Among Us was released in 2018 but exploded in popularity in 2020 after streamers and YouTubers started playing it with big audiences.
🕵️ The classic party game Mafia, invented by Dmitry Davidoff in 1986, helped inspire modern social-deduction games like Among Us.
⏱️ Some Among Us tasks are "visual tasks" (like the MedBay scan) that show an animation and can publicly prove a crewmate's innocence.
🤝 Good teamwork in meetings — sharing exactly who you saw, where, and when — makes it much easier to spot contradictions and find impostors.
💬 Short, clear statements in emergency meetings are more memorable and useful than long rants when trying to coordinate the crew.
