You can only do this once in a game, and its intended purpose is to confront an alien among your crew. The second way to force a meeting is to hit the big red Emergency Meeting button. Everyone gets together to talk about the dead body. One is if someone finds the body of a dead crewmate and reports it.

There are two opportunities to confront a crewmate you suspect of being a traitor. The crew needs to figure out who the impostors are, or die in space. One to three players, however, are impostors looking to sabotage the team’s efforts, ideally killing everyone in the process. In it, you are part of a crew, working together to complete tasks across a station.

One of the biggest ways the game is showing up on social media is through the “Emergency Meeting” meme, a joke that expertly captures the mood of 2020.Īmong Us, for those who haven’t played, is what would happen if you put Fall Guys in a blender with John Carpenter’s The Thing.

Two-year-old subterfuge game Among Us has taken off in 2020, thanks to popular streamers and YouTubers who are currently playing the game.
