31 Among Us Things You (Possibly) Didn’t Know

31 among us things you possibly didn't know among us has plenty of secrets tidbits and easter eggs that lie underneath the surface so today we're covering the best pieces of info that might have just passed you by so you can be a true among us big brain and hey youtube told me straight up that absolutely zero people have subscribed using their nose so if you're up to the challenge park your schnauz and that red button down below it's free and it upset a ton number one the cameras on the scale leave a lot to be desired but as it turns out if you're running by the time that you open up the cams app you can slightly shift around your field of vision with the camera and where this really becomes evident is if you play as a ghost because there when you're dead you can move through the walls and you can move that camera's range of vision so much further than you can if you're alive number two the look and feel of among us by this point is so iconic that honestly most of us can't imagine in a different way but for a time in its development cycle the game didn't always go by the name among us but rather the working title that it had when it launched on ios and android was space mafia the game's mechanics and ideas are already heavily based on the game called mafia so there you go put it in space space mafia number three during a round of among us every single second counts which is why it might be crucial for you to know that during the roll announcement screen where it tells you what you're gonna be for the rest of the game you're actually able to interact with the game behind it and move around your character so whether you're a crewmate looking to get a head start on your chores or an imposter that just wants to get set up for a kill this range of motion although a shot in the dark might be able to put you on track for the lead number four the name the skelet seems like an odd choice for a ship but what seems like a made-up word to the english-speaking population is a bit more familiar to the swedes the developers have gone on records saying that the name of the map is initially derived from a translation of the phrase the shield in swedish but the name was then later modified for easier pronunciation which is good because without the help of google translate i do not think i'd be able to pronounce this holden president i don't know number five multi-part tasks aren't exactly a treat so what if we were able to take one of the two part tasks and just simplify it down to one we can actually do just that with the upper engine's task and scaled after you use the arrow to align the engine if you click it three times you can actually finish both tasks at once making your chore on the side go from zero out of two straight up to two out of two number six if you're a particularly vigilant zelda fan then i'm sure this one didn't pass you by but in case you missed it if you boot up the map mirror hq and take a good long look at the plants you'll see a striking resemblance to one of the koroks from zelda more specifically this seems to be a reference to macar the companion that you have in wind waker but i've gotta say going from sage of the wind down to being a potted plant does seem like a downstep number seven the display interface on admin is admittedly pretty limited but while most of us just use this for only checking crewmate traffic that's only scratching the surface just like using vitals or cams you're also able to see kills on the admin screen that is when a player is killed their icon will flash on the map which lets you know that something dicey might have happened in that room number eight if you're looking to prank the rest of your friends in the lobby here's how if you host a game on the scale during april 1st the map when you load up will actually be flipped in reverse giving you something pretty similar to the mirror mode in mario kart and the best part about this is that your friends don't have to be on april 1st to see this so if you set your device's internal clock to that date you can invite them in and get ready for their reactions number nine if you've ever played for a long session with a group of friends then you know that at some point the lobby's gonna close and you're just gonna have to type in a new code to get into the next one only to find out that everyone else is joining into the last lobby that you were in so to save yourself the hassle of that scramble if you just click the arrow without typing anything into the box it'll take you into the last lobby you entered if you get disconnected just press that arrow and you'll be right back in with the rest of the fun number 10 in a competitive lobby how the impostor fakes their task could be make or break so an extra trick for those crewmates trying to find the liar this divert power panel and skeld is completely unused so if you see a body over there faking their tasks you know that they're just trying to look busy and they should be fired immediately and hey same goes to any imposters you got to avoid this panel so you don't get caught in the future number eleven humongous is chock full of pop culture references my personal favorite being this qr code on polis which if you happen to scan you'll be given a line of text that says your homes smell you later which if you've ever caught an episode of the fresh prince of bel air you know is straight out of the theme song so hey good for small youtuber and tick tock star will smith for getting put into this massive video game i'm sure it's a huge monument in his career number 12. while plenty of other youtubers will talk your ear off about the among us lore what i will mention is interesting is if you go to the align telescope's task you're able to see a dyson sphere which in case you're not a space buff is a huge structure that wraps around the entirety of a star to capture the large amounts of energy and by that measure these little goofballs are so much smarter than you and i could ever hope to be but hey at least we have actual arms number 13 as the imposter your goal is to get the kill and then get immediately out of dodge so fortunately for you it's entirely possible to get those kills through obstacles that can keep you further away from the body like getting a kill through these plants amira or if that doesn't work for you you could also try the laboratory table on the same map it's even possible to get a kill through the monitor on polis there's so many different opportunities where you can be hiding behind something and still get the kill number fourteen if you ever wanted to be in the loop about new among us features before they're added in well you're in luck because inner sloth actually allows beta testing for all these different updates now to start using this beta it does vary by platform but at least on steam all you have to do is go to the beta section of among us and then you can just opt into the public beta allowing you to try out any new features with your friends as well number 15. the name for the map polis actually has a history that expands just past among us rather it actually comes from a character in one of intersloth's other games henry stickman after winning sweepstakes they got their name put into the game as one of the minor characters in one of the sub episodes and not just one of the many henry stickman easter eggs that are in among us but hey in fairness there's also plenty of among us easter eggs and henry stickman it evens out number 16. in a game as tenses among us nobody wants to waste time so to shave off those extra animation frames it's actually possible to click past certain animations in the game instead of letting it play out you can just press escape or the x to close out of the task as soon as you see task complete if you're in a sticky situation this allows you to bail a little bit quicker and it might be the difference of life and death number 17 nowadays among us success is a foregone conclusion but as it turns out it had a pretty rocky start according to a developer log in inner sloth's itch.io page in the first 50 days of the game it only made about 35 but with projected sales of the game now reaching into the millions i think it's safe to say that inner sloths well and surpassed that number and you know what they totally deserve it number 18 local multiplayer was a huge part of early versions of among us which is why when starting out the game initially had no audio so that it wouldn't reveal any hidden information to any of the other local players which is weird to think about given how classic the different sound effects in this game are but sure enough in its parlor game roots a kill didn't sound like this but rather this clearly doesn't have the same impact number 19 as an imposter you're always trying your best not to be seen so to help you out with that there is this glitch that makes it completely possible to go entirely invisible during the match if you vent as soon as a body is reported then you will just disappear i don't imagine it'll be in the game for too long it does seem like cheating but while it's in the game for better or worse this does make your task to hide in plain sight so much easier number 20 star reactor can be an annoying task as is but as it turns out in earlier versions of the game it used to not save your progress after being interrupted so if you got taken out it was all the way back to the beginning this task already gets interrupted enough as is so the fact that it wouldn't save any of your progress just makes it a headache that i'm glad inner sloth avoided number 21 the vent system on mira can give impostors a huge advantage so if you're trying to disarm that you gotta look at the sensor log for example if you were to take a look at the log and you see that someone goes past south east to north and then southwest then you know they likely vented because they didn't pass back through north before going to southwest understanding the different orders that you pass by sensors could be all the evidence you need to take down the imposter number 22 as anyone who's played around with the sub settings in the mungus lobby knows there's different sub settings of tasks they're short common long etc but while each of those different types function differently in the game as it turns out all of them fill up the taskbar the exact same amount so regardless of which one you see over on your task list as it turns out to among us it's about the quantity not so much the quality of the task number 23 during early versions of the game polis and mira both used to be paid dlc maps initially starting out at four dollars they then went to two and then eventually free which is how we know them today so if you're wondering why those two maps in particular have themed skin packs for purchase that's why they used to all be part of the same bundle that you would buy back in the day number 24. sometimes it's hard to get someone to verify your scan so using this glitch it's actually possible to get someone to see your scan anywhere in the map of scaled if you have a high ping connection to a lobby and then you spam the med based scan button over and over again eventually you'll be able to scan outside of the actual med bay which means that technically you're proven innocence all over the map as well as weirding out the other players number 25 while among us has a lot of similarities to social deception games like werewolf the gameplay actually derives from an in-person game where the developers would turn off the lights in the house and then one player who was dubbed the king would go around and try to kill the other players by running a finger along their neck it's definitely nothing i've ever heard of but hey if it inspired the among us devs then i'm sure it's pretty good number 26 while among us is clearly successful in the us according to an interview that the developer gave to kotaku the game's actually more popular in mexico brazil and korea apparently in 2019 it was found by different youtubers in the areas and sort of snowballed into success which is basically the same thing that happened here with sodapoppin which proves that no matter where you live among us is still a great game number 27 going into certain rooms to do tasks can be a death wish so if you want to keep yourself distance from any work hazards then it's actually possible to do certain tasks through the walls whether that's these wires on the polis office the ones that you're able to start a mirror and then get pushed away by the blast door or rather these ones that you can do on the shield's task and scaled clearly there are plenty of different ways to separate yourself from work number 28 to anyone who's booted up the game and seen this weird logo across their screen you might have wondered if such a strange name had some form of history to it but no according to the developers it just came from a random name generator they were scrolling through however it stuck because it resonated with them it's like how you feel very sloth and lazy on the inside but then on the outside you want to get things done at least that's the reasoning after the fact i think they just liked the name number 29 if you're a crewmate without a group then reactor could seem like a daunting emergency however it's fully in your power to stop this emergency by yourself by clicking to hold down on one panel and then quitting out to run over to the other the end while still holding down the mouse button you can open up the second panel and solve both just like that i'm guessing it's not a feature that'll stay in the game for too long this might be able to keep you and the rest of the crew alive on the ship for just that little bit longer number 30. with so many people playing among us these days it feels like every day is among us stay but as it turns out according to inner sloth's blog post the data among us thursdays turn out to be the least popular day for among us games i mean obviously it seems like weekends would be more popular but even that's not true apparently tuesday nights at pacific standard time or the hot spot who knew number 31 for as technologically advanced as the among us characters are the upload data task takes forever but apparently back in the day it used to be even longer with 12 seconds to go instead of the current eight and you can definitely see why they change it this task already feels like it takes forever so being there for 12 seconds might just be guaranteeing an imposter kill and at that point it just seems unbalanced and folks we just launched a giveaway with
