During these stressful times, people all over the world have found comfort and fun in playing an online multiplayer game called “Among Us”. The game is very similar to the card game “mafia” and is based in a spaceship where players need to complete tasks and interact with each other to win. The game has been a way to relax for many teenagers just starting school and overcome stress with quarter finals or anything in general. It has become a common way to meet others over the internet or even connect with a group of their friends, now that it’s harder to meet up in person. How to play: Each lobby can host up to 10 players, and there are two groups of people. Depending on how many people are playing, there will be 1-2 “imposters”, whose job is to kill all of the other players and sabotage them without being caught. The crewmates, or other players who are not the imposters, try to complete their tasks while trying not to be killed by the imposters, whose identity is unknown to them. As they are killed, meetings are held for all of the players to vote out someone they find suspicious or think they are the imposter. Remember that it’s okay to take some time off to relax and destress and play a little game or practice self care! Drink plenty of water and stay safe! Although you might feel detached from your loved ones and others, there are always new ways that we can interact even throughout this pandemic. <3
