The ultimate test of trust and deception is back, and it's more intense than ever. Welcome to Among Us online New v2, where your ability to lie—or your talent for seeing through the lies of others—is your greatest weapon. Aboard a desolate spaceship or a remote planetary base, you and your fellow crewmates must work together to complete vital tasks. But there's a problem. A deadly, parasitic shapeshifter is hiding in plain sight, an Impostor whose sole purpose is to sabotage your mission and eliminate every last crewmate. Paranoia is a prerequisite for survival. Every friendly wave could be a fabrication, every shared task a trap. Can you identify the saboteur before they pick you all off one by one? Or are you the one pulling the strings, orchestrating chaos, and turning the crew against itself? The stakes have never been higher.
Just when you thought you'd mastered the art of suspicion, we've overhauled the experience with the Ghost in the Machine update! This latest version introduces a thrilling new “Haunted Comms” sabotage for Impostors, causing audio and text chat to become temporarily scrambled with eerie, nonsensical messages to sow maximum confusion during meetings. To counter this, Crewmates now have access to a new vital-tracking task in MedBay that can briefly confirm if a nearby player is alive, adding a new layer of verification. We've also tweaked vent connections on The Skeld and added a fresh batch of cosmetic hats to ensure your paranoia is always in style. The hunt has evolved.
Whether you're a loyal Crewmate or a cunning Impostor, knowing your controls is the first step to victory. The core mechanics are simple to learn but difficult to master.
Universal Controls:
Your Objective as a Crewmate:
Complete all your assigned tasks around the map to fill the group taskbar. If you find a fallen comrade, report it immediately. Pay close attention to everyone's behavior and use emergency meetings to discuss suspicious activity and vote out the Impostors to win.
Your Objective as an Impostor:
Deceive everyone. Fake tasks, use vents to move secretly, and sabotage critical ship systems to create chaos. Eliminate Crewmates until your numbers are equal to theirs. Blend in, create alibis, and turn the Crewmates against each other in meetings to secure your victory.
Yes, 100%. You can jump into a game and start playing this version of the social deduction classic right here in your browser, no downloads or payment required. It's the perfect way to test your deception skills or just have a blast with friends.
Patience is key. Don't go for a kill in a crowded room. Your best opening move is often a well-timed sabotage, like turning off the lights or locking doors, to isolate a target. Another pro-tip: “stacking.” If multiple players are on the same task, you can sometimes get a kill and it won't be immediately obvious who did it. Finally, learn to self-report. It's a risky but powerful move that can make you look innocent if you claim you “just found” the body.
Visibility and communication are your best friends. Perform your tasks, but try to do them near other players to establish an alibi. When a meeting is called, be clear and concise. Instead of just saying “Red is sus,” provide evidence: “I saw Red run away from Electrical, where I later found Blue's body.” Being a good witness is as important as doing your tasks.

These games tap into a fundamental human experience: trust and betrayal. Unlike games that are purely about skill, they are about psychology, manipulation, and reading people. The thrill of successfully fooling a whole group of friends or the satisfaction of sniffing out a liar is a unique and compelling rush. This blend of simple mechanics with complex social dynamics is at the heart of the entire adventure genre, which you can explore further on platforms like CrazyGames.
Absolutely. Sometimes you need to trade paranoia for pure adrenaline. If you want to switch gears and hit the open road, a game like Highway Racing offers a high-speed experience that's all about reflexes and speed, a perfect palate cleanser after a tense session of accusations.
When you're done with the psychological warfare and just want to kick and punch your way through a challenge, we've got you covered. For a complete change of pace, you can dive into the world of a martial arts legend in Jackie Chan Adventures and enjoy some straightforward, action-packed fun.
