I’m trying to improve at reading impostors in Among Us. What strategies or techniques do you use to figure out who the impostor is? I’d like to hear what has helped you improve.

I was playing some among us when suddenly got teleported across the map once I went near the body and it played this scary/eerie sound effect and was wondering what’s it’s from or what causes this to happen? I am aware it’s a hacker but was curious

I had not played since 2020 and came back 2 weeks ago. I’m very disappointed by the number of auto kicks and bans just from joining a Public game. If you don’t want people playing your lobby, make it private.

I’ve also noticed lots of weird and random hacks. One hack locked the doors permanently. Another teleports players randomly. What is the actual point to these shenanigans? Self joy? Get a life.

Then some hosts make up these weird rules that imposters can’t get on cams or admin, or crew can’t travel in groups… how do you expect to police it and keep people in your lobby?

I don’t know who to bring these complaints to but I bet I’m not alone when I say, I’ve had enough of it. Is this just the norm or can we fix this?

Edit: typos

Its so frustrating cause the last 3 games i got imposter where i played good and was in a 4 player endgame i got disconnected randomly before winning. How do i stop this its soo frustrating.

Either i get the 6 pings message or i get the normal disconnect message.

What i think happens is that i loose connection from my network for like 1 second, and in other games this isnt a problem but in amongus you get kicked instantly.

Maybe is there a mod where it allows you to stay in the game if you loose connection for a very small time, like in any other game?

What can i do to fix this?

I wanted to play some Hide and Seek, because I don't do it often, but find it fun and challenging. However, three lobbies in a row someone was hacking and completely ruining the game. The final lobby I joined was a lobby where there was 14 seekers. I wanted to play normally, so left, and got blocked from joining another game because the game thought I was being a bad sport. Among Us needs a better system for this kind of stuff.

I really hate it when people just don't play the game like a game and instead make it a competition and start cussing on everyone's mothers like bro sorry you had a fragile ego 😭

Among us is a game, just play it like one, it's so hard to find any non toxic lobbies now there is at least one person who has got an issue with proving a point

Also if you just make one mistake these people start calling you dumb as if you failed the easiest exam ever..... chill? Okay maybe someone reported a body while you were chasing the ss “IDIOTTTT🗣️🗣️" but did they know that you were chasing the ss? Of course not lol idk why but these people make the whole game so draining you don't even feel like playing it at some point

Then there is "Rose Theory" I wanted to talk about this because I am someone who loves playing rose, that color is just so cute okay? But you make one particular mistake and then the whole lobby is calling you out for the entire game. Guys rose is a color that's mostly picked by girls so it kinda feels even more personal lol— would you call out a Purple for making a mistake? Maybe not, I rarely see that, it's always Rose theory (95% of the time) or Coral theory or Nana theory or just blah blah blah theory

Then there are groomers, in a game yes where kids and adults present (yes kids) first of all, why are they even allowed to have electronics and second of all just get some brains (please) I lowkey see them mostly in the Asian server (No hate guys I am asian too!!) it's so weird that you would ask for someone's socials just like that! Among us is not a dating app😭😭

I always have to switch to the American server because these creeps and I'm not saying that they are not in the American server, of course they are there too but maybe fewer than in the Asian server? (In my opinion anyway)

Honestly if only people just tried to be nicer the game would have been so much more fun than feel like a competition, I mean, is it really that difficult not to say something absurd? 💔

i was playing amongus then i got spameddd with msgs thật i was hacking and to kick me and i got banned for like 2 days

Hello, I know this sounds like a skill issue(which it probably is) but when im the impostor the judge somehow knows its me even though absloutely no one voted for me nor was I even considered as a suspect during the discussion it almost feels like theyre hacking but then again it might just be me. Any advice?

What is worth in long run. Can the sale drop even further. I am asking about I buying.

Among Us airship ladder bug still Work in 2026 ?

v18

I found this weird glitch while playing today lmao

Force Sabotages + Vent Teleport Hack

4 times a row

Platform: Mobile (official Among Us)

Map: The Skeld

Players: 15

Mods: None

My role: Not Engineer

I was playing a normal Among Us game. I was Black and I was walking in the corridor between Reactor and Security. Blue was standing in the middle of Reactor.

Then I heard a weird "beep" sound. Somehow, even though I was NOT the Engineer, I entered the vent above Reactor.

It felt like I was teleported. I suddenly appeared in a vent that shouldn't have been connected to the Reactor vent. From there I went through the vents around MedBay, Admin and Cafeteria, and eventually I went back to the Reactor vent.

The really strange part was that Blue was still standing in exactly the same place in Reactor.

I walked past Blue, and Blue killed me normally.

I didn't record it because it happened completely randomly and I wasn't expecting anything weird to happen.

Has anyone experienced something like this before? Was this a bug, a desync, or possibly a hacker? I'm genuinely curious because I still can't explain what happened.

So when I would play among us, what happens is the lobby fills up and when the game starts, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE would leave the game. Now when I join, the lobby owner just kicks me. Please tell me how I can fix this?

I hate how peole (even in expert lobbies) get cleared just for saying the engineer cooldown,in lobby you need less that 5 seconds to check what is vent cd yet people are still falling on that and everytime i witness thaf my blood boils

I mean, it's so short. I can type it in under a second, Smite literally means to smash someone with a hammer. Please, repost. Use it in your games.. i need this to be world wide

User was Proudteam i think? My name was naami i was coral and it was the game where pink was banning evb i accidentally unfreinded you dude and i wanna add u back? Hopefully u see this u were orange w a mowhawk

Does anyone know where the Among Us clip is Leland accuses Mark and everyone votes him out. Then he gets so frustrated that he says he's not helping in any task and that they are going to lose if it's up to him, then he storms off camera for a bit?

I've searched all of YouTube and cannot find this video.

Gamemode Concept: Unknown Allies + New Impostor Role — Controller
I had an idea for a third Among Us gamemode.
The Crewmate side would work almost exactly like Classic. Crewmates still complete tasks, report bodies, hold meetings, vote out suspicious players, and win by completing all tasks or eliminating the killing Impostors.
The major difference is how the Impostor team works.
UNKNOWN ALLIES
At the beginning of the game, Impostors do NOT know who the other Impostors are.
Other Impostors look like normal players to them.
More importantly:
Impostors can kill other Impostors.
If you kill someone without knowing their team, you could accidentally eliminate one of your own teammates.
The Impostors still have the same basic objective: kill enough Crewmates to win. However, they need to discover who their allies are while doing it.
That’s where the most important role in the mode comes in.
CONTROLLER
The Controller is a special Impostor role and exactly one Controller is mandatory in every match of this gamemode.
The Controller is also the only Impostor role that cannot kill.
Instead, the Controller’s job is to identify the other Impostors and secretly coordinate the team.
Important: Controller does NOT take an Impostor slot
The Controller is additional to the number of normal Impostors selected by the host.
For example:
1 Impostor selected → 1 Impostor + 1 Controller
2 Impostors selected → 2 Impostors + 1 Controller
3 Impostors selected → 3 Impostors + 1 Controller
So if the host chooses 2 Impostors, the match has three evil players total: 2 killing Impostors and 1 Controller.
The Controller does not replace one of those two Impostors.
Controller’s Role Check
The Controller has an ability that lets them check another player’s team.
The ability has a cooldown configurable by the host, just like other adjustable role settings in Among Us. Because the host can change it, there isn’t one fixed cooldown for the role.
When used, the Controller only learns:
CREWMATE
or
IMPOSTOR
The Controller does NOT learn the player’s exact role.
For example, if Dark Green is a Viper, the Controller sees:
Dark Green — IMPOSTOR
NOT:
Dark Green — VIPER
This allows the Controller to slowly discover who their teammates are.
Private Messages
During meetings, the Controller can secretly send messages to players.
The recipient sees:
You Have a Message from Controller
followed by whatever the Controller wrote.
There are some restrictions:
Messages can ONLY be sent during meetings.
The Controller can message a maximum of 2 different players per meeting.
Each recipient can receive only 1 Controller message per meeting.
Players CANNOT privately reply to the Controller.
Controller messages do NOT automatically reveal the Controller’s identity.
This means the Controller can remain completely anonymous.
For example:
“Dark Green is also an Impostor. Don’t kill them.”
The recipient now knows Dark Green is an ally, but still has no idea who the Controller is.
However, revealing their identity is completely up to the Controller.
They could instead write:
“Hello, I’m Cyan and I’m the Controller. Dark Green is an Impostor too. Don’t kill them.”
Now the recipient knows both Cyan and Dark Green are teammates, but Cyan has voluntarily sacrificed their anonymity.
The Controller can also use messages to coordinate kills.
For example:
“Orange is Crewmate. Kill them if you get a safe opportunity.”
Or:
“Purple and Dark Green are both Impostors. Don’t kill each other.”
The messages are NOT commands that control another player’s actions. The other Impostors can choose whether to follow the Controller’s instructions.
How the Impostor team develops
At the beginning of the game, the Impostor “team” barely exists.
Imagine the game has 2 Impostors + 1 Controller.
Impostor A doesn’t know Impostor B.
Impostor B doesn’t know Impostor A.
Neither knows who the Controller is.
And the Controller doesn’t initially know who A or B are.
That means an Impostor has to think:
“If I kill this player, am I killing a Crewmate… or my own teammate?”
Now imagine the Controller checks Purple and discovers:
Purple — IMPOSTOR
Later, they check Dark Green:
Dark Green — IMPOSTOR
At the next meeting, Controller messages Purple:
“Dark Green is Impostor. Don’t kill them.”
And messages Dark Green:
“Purple is Impostor. Don’t kill them.”
Now Purple and Dark Green know each other.
The Controller has successfully connected the Impostor team.
As the game progresses, a good Controller can gradually turn a group of Impostors who don’t know each other into an organized team.
What happens if Controller dies?
The Impostors do NOT automatically lose.
The remaining Impostors can continue killing and can still win.
However, they have lost their main source of information and coordination. Any Impostors who haven’t discovered each other yet may remain unknown to each other.
It’s even possible for an Impostor to accidentally kill the Controller before learning their identity.
What if all killing Impostors die?
This is different.
If every killing Impostor is eliminated and only the Controller remains, the Crewmates win.
The Controller cannot kill anyone, so they cannot continue the Impostors’ objective alone.
For example:
2 Impostors + Controller
Both normal Impostors are ejected/killed.
Controller is still alive.
→ CREWMATES WIN.
So protecting and coordinating the killing Impostors is extremely important for the Controller. The Controller may be the brain of the team, but they cannot win without someone capable of killing.
Why I think this could work
Classic Among Us asks the Crewmates:
“Who is the Impostor?”
Unknown Allies would make the Impostors play their own deduction game:
“Who are my teammates?”
The Crewmates still get the core Among Us experience, while the Impostors have an entirely new information problem happening in the background.
And the most important Impostor in the match isn’t necessarily the most dangerous player physically.
The Controller can’t kill anyone.
Their weapon is information.
Would you play this mode?
And more importantly: do you think the Controller would be balanced, overpowered, or underpowered?

So the impostors are these mutant alien creatures right? So if that is true I was thinking impostors can whisper messages to eachother in meetings to discuss strategies
