| How to Play Among Us Posted: 05 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST Among Us is a murder-mystery game for iOS, Android, PC, and Nintendo Switch in which players take on one of two roles: the Impostor(s), whose goal is to kill everyone, and the Crewmates, which have the job of fixing the ship and voting the impostor(s) out. This wikiHow teaches you how to play Among Us. [Edit]Joining a Game - Download and install Among Us. You can download Among Us from the Google Play Store on Android devices, the App Store on iPhone and iPad, the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, or from Steam on PC. Among Us is free on smartphones and tablets, and $5 on Nintendo Switch and PC. It will be coming to Playstation and Xbox consoles sometime in 2021. Use the following steps to download and install Among Us:
- Open the digital store for your platform.
- Use the search function to search for "Among Us".
- Click or tap the Among Us icon.
- Click or tap the option to download or purchase the game.
- Click or tap the option to install the game.
- Open Among Us. It has an icon with a red crewmate wearing a spacesuit. Click or tap the icon to open Among Us. On Nintendo Switch, it has an icon that resembles a number of crewmates wearing different colored suits
- Select or on the main menu. These should be the top two options on the title screen.
- Local: Select this option if you want to play with friends sharing the same Wi-Fi network.[1]
- Online: Select this option to play with random players over the internet.
- Enter your name at the top of the screen. You'll need to do this before you're allowed to start the game. What you enter is up to you, but avoid typing in personal information or profanity.
- If you are playing on Nintendo Switch, your online username will automatically be selected as your name.
- Tap (public game only). This searches for public games that you can join.
- Alternatively, if you know the room code tap Enter code below "Private" and enter the code to join a private game.
- If you get disconnected from a game you can tap the arrow under Private (without entering a code) to quickly reconnect.
- Alternatively, you can select Create Game under "Host" to create your own game. You will need to select the game map, number of imposters, chat language, and maximum number of players. Then you can customize the game settings using the computer in the lobby. It is recommended that you get familiar with the game before you create your own game.
- Select a map to play on. Among Us currently has three maps to choose from with a fourth on the way; tap on one of the options at the top of the screen to select it. The three maps are as follows:[2]
- The Skeld: This is the original map for Among Us and is a good place to start for beginners. It's a large spaceship level with plenty of vents for impostors to escape. It also has security cameras that can be viewed from the security room.
- Mira HQ: This is a smaller map with an interconnected vent system spanning the entire map, giving the impostors plenty of opportunities to get around the level and cut off other players. It also has a decontamination room that slows down crewmates.
- Polus: This is a large map with two decontamination rooms and also has cameras that cover a large area of the map. This map is better for experienced players.
- Select the number of impostors. You can have 1-3 impostors in a game. Tap a number next to "Impostors" at the top of the screen to select how many you want. Tap Any to select a random number of impostors.
- Select your chat language. Use the drop-down menu next to "Chat" to select the primary language for the in-game chat.
- Pick a lobby to join. If there are spaces available, you'll be added to the game's lobby, otherwise you'll be informed that the game's full and you'll need to join a different lobby.
- Once you join a game, you'll need to wait in the lobby until enough players join for the game to start.
- Once the game starts, all players will be randomly assigned a role as either a crewmate or impostor.
[Edit]Playing as a Crewmate - Understand the role of a crewmate. As a crewmate, your goal is to complete randomly assigned tasks without being killed by the imposter. Crewmates should also be on the lookout for suspicious (often referred to as "sus") or incriminating behavior. This may include murdering other crewmates, entering or exiting a vent (venting), pretending to do tasks, or using suspicious dialogue during emergency meetings.
- If an emergency meeting is called, crewmates will have the opportunity to vote on who they think the imposter is. Whoever gets the most votes is ejected from the ship. If all imposters are ejected from the ship, or all tasks are completed, the crewmates win. If the imposter(s) murder enough crewmates to where the is an equal number of imposters to crewmates, imposters win.
- Use the joystick icon on the left to move. It's the icon with a circle inside of a larger circle. Tap and drag it in the direction you want to move to walk. The walking speed will vary depending on the host's game settings.
- Try and stay with a group. This can help reduce any suspicion of you being the impostor and is especially helpful for visual tasks, such as scanning or emptying the trash, since others will see you doing it.
- Look at the top of the screen for your tasks. Once the game starts, your tasks should be listed in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. The number of tasks will vary, depending on how many the game's host chose.
- Complete tasks. As you move around the map, you'll see items highlighted in yellow. Walk up to them and press the triangle-shaped Use button on the bottom-right of the screen. This will either initiate a mini-game that generally consists of simple puzzles or objects to move
- Some tasks have multiple parts. Yellow arrows on the screen or yellow exclamation marks on the map indicate where to go to complete tasks.
- If visual tasks are on, certain tasks will display an animation that can be viewed by other players (e.g., Medbay scan, shooting asteroids, Dumping trash in the Skeld storage room, etc.). Do these tasks in front of other players so they know you are not the imposter. Imposters can't do tasks.
- If Task Bar Updates are set to Always, then the bar in the top right will slowly fill as tasks are completed. Keep in mind that certain tasks (e.g., Fixing wires, aligning engines, Upload Data, etc.) have multiple parts and will only update the bar once the last section is completed.
- Tap if you find a dead body. This calls all players (impostors and crew) to an emergency meeting. Here you can chat with other crew members and vote on who you think the impostor is.
- Pay attention to who is near an area where you see a body. For example, if you see blue walking out of electrical, and walk in to find a body, bring that up in the chat.
- If you're standing near the body and don't report it, but someone else comes along and does, then be prepared to be accused of being the impostor. This is why it's so important to report a body as soon as you see it.
- Use the "Emergency Meeting" console to call an emergency meeting. If one of the crew members is acting suspicious, you can call an emergency meeting to discuss your suspicions. Walk up to the "Emergency Meeting" console that is located at the table that all players are gathered around at the start of the game. Tap Use to call an emergency meeting.
- Avoid calling emergency meetings for nonsense such as accusing someone of being the impostor with no evidence or anything unrelated to the game. You'll either get voted out or kicked.
- If you notice someone killing or using a vent, be sure to mention it right away in the chat as only impostors can kill or use vents.
- Tap the speech box icon in the upper-right corner to chat during an emergency meeting. When an emergency meeting is called, this is your time to discuss your suspicions with your crew members. Tap the icon that resembles a speech bubble in the upper-right corner to open the chat.
- For convenience, players usually identify each other by their color. Pay attention if other crewmates say something like "It's red", "I saw black kill", "I saw lime vent", or "Pink is sus", but be aware that it might be the impostor lying.
- Use the text field at the bottom to chat. To chat, tap the text field at the bottom and use the on-screen keyboard to enter a message. Tap the triangular icon to the right to post your message in the chat.
- Vote for who you think the impostor is. When an emergency meeting is called, you will be given time to discuss your suspicions. When the discussion timer ends, you can then choose to either vote on who you think the impostor is, or skip your vote if you don't think there's enough evidence. To vote, tap the player you think is the impostor, and then tap the checkmark icon to submit your vote.
- Once everyone votes or the allotted time is up, the votes will be tallied. Whoever gets the most votes will be ejected from the map.
- When reports come in, ask where the body was found and what people were doing at the time. Pay attention to what everyone says and point out anything that seems suspicious.
- Depending on the settings, players may or may not be informed if the ejected player was actually an impostor.
- Pay attention to who people vote for and when they vote. Some Impostors look to see which way the vote is going before they vote.
- Use the Admin table. This allows you to see which room players are in. To use it, walk up to the table and tap the ADMIN button on the bottom-right of the screen. This will pull up a green map that displays players instead of tasks.
- The map doesn't show the identity of players, nor does it show players in hallways.
- If a light disappears from a room then immediately reappears somewhere then the person is venting.
- If a light blips (flashes quickly off then on) in a room with two or more people, then it's very likely a crewmate was just killed. The lights tend to blink slower for normal player movement.
- Use the Door Logs (Mira HQ only). This allows you to get a sense of the players' movements between the three sections of the map. To use it, walk up to the computer and tap the DOOR LOGS button on the bottom-right of the screen.
- Certain sensors can only be tripped in a specific order.[3] For example, if someone trips the top sensor, then the left sensor, then the right sensor, they're 100% an impostor as that can only be done by venting (ie. players must pass the same sensor when exiting an area).
- Use the Vitals panel. This shows you who's alive or dead without having to call an emergency meeting.
- If you see someone die on Vitals and a report immediately comes in, it's very likely to be a self-report.
- Players are listed from left-to-right in the order that they joined the lobby. This can be used alongside the 'Insert Keys' task to check if the Impostor is lying if asked about their key number.
- Use the Security cameras (Skeld and Polus only). These are placed in the hallways and allow you to view specific sections of the map in real-time. To use them, walk up the monitor and tap the SECURITY button on the bottom right of the screen.
- Skeld has four cameras: one outside Navigation (top left), one outside Admin (top right), one outside Medbay (bottom left), and one outside Security and Reactor (bottom right).
- Polus has six cameras: three outside the Office (East, South, and Central), one close to the rocket (Northeast), one outside the Boiler (Southwest), and one between Electrical and the Dropship (Northwest).
- On Skeld you can view all cameras at once, but on Polus, you have to switch between them FNAF style.
- A red light turns on whenever someone's using the camera, so use this to try to fake out potential Impostors by turning them on and off. If they fall for it, you can call an emergency meeting and call them out.
- Continue playing as a ghost. If you are killed by an impostor or get voted out, you can still traverse the map as a ghost and complete tasks to help the crewmates win.
- You're not allowed to vote or speak to alive players during emergency meetings. That would make the game unfair.
- You can speak with other ghosts without having to wait for an emergency meeting.
- Both alive and dead crewmates must complete their tasks to win.
- Win the game. Crewmates win by either voting out all the impostors or by finishing all their tasks.
[Edit]Playing as an Impostor - Understand the role of imposters. As an imposter, you are an alien that has infiltrated the crew. Your goal is to kill as many crewmates as possible without being detected. As an imposter, you cannot complete tasks as crewmates can. However, imposters do have a few unique skills. They are able to use vents to travel around the map (venting). They can also sabotage certain areas of the map.
- Sabotaging the map allows you to set traps, draw crewmates away from bodies, or create critical malfunctions that will kill the crewmates if they are not repaired in time. If the imposter eliminates enough crewmates so that there are an equal number of crewmembers.
- Use the joystick icon on the left to move. It's the icon with a circle inside of a larger circle. Tap and drag it in the direction you wish to walk in.
- The walking speed will vary depending on the host's game settings.
- Avoid arousing suspicion. If the crewmates suspect you're the impostor, they'll report you and eject you, so try to blend in by pretending to do tasks.
- Some tasks are always performed in a certain order such as Download/Upload (download always comes first) or Dumping garbage on Skeld (Cafeteria then Storage). If you're not sure, check the Among Us Wiki page on tasks.
- Avoid trying to fake visual tasks even if it's set to "off". Not only can people call you out on the animation not playing (if it's set to "on"), but crewmates with the same task can attempt to perform their task while you're trying to fake it, something that would be impossible if you were actually a crewmate.
- Try and stay with a group. This can help reduce suspicion as there'll be people who can vouch for you.
- Travel through vents. Vents are placed at specific locations around the map and can be used by Impostors to quickly move from one room to another. To use a vent, walk up to one and tap the Vent button in the lower-right corner to enter it, then tap one of the arrows to move to a different vent. Once you're ready to emerge from the vent, simply tap the Vent button again.
- Do not let crewmates see you entering or emerging from a vent. They will instantly know you are the impostor and will attempt to call an emergency meeting. If you see a crewmate in the same room, wait until they leave to emerge.
- If you get seen, try to slow them down by locking doors (Skeld and Polus) or by performing critical sabotages, then kill them before you get ratted out.
- Sabotage rooms. Sabotaging a room will do different things depending on the room. To sabotage, tap the Sabotage button in the lower-right corner to display a red map with various sabotage options instead of tasks, then tap on the room you want to sabotage.
 - The different types of sabotages that you can perform are:
- Lock doors (X-ed out symbol): Only on Skeld and Polus (on Skeld, doors will reopen automatically after a few seconds, but on Polus, they must be unlocked again manually).
- Cut the Lights (Lightning symbol): Effectively blinds crewmates as their FOV shrinks to a small circle immediately around themselves; to fix it, players must go to a panel in Electrical (Skeld & Polus) or in the Office (Mira HQ) and flip the switches so all the green indicators turn on).
- Deactivate Communications/Comms (Wi-Fi symbol): Hides crewmate tasks, the task bar, and prevents the use of the Admin Table, Cameras (Skeld & Polus only), and Door Logs (Mira HQ only; clears logs and prevents new ones from being recorded), and the Vitals Monitor (Polus only). On Skeld and Polus, this is fixed by turning a dial until the displayed frequency resembles a sine wave, while on Mira HQ, it's fixed by entering a 5-digit passcode in both the Office and Communications rooms (the code resets every 10 seconds).
- Oxygen Depletion (O2 symbol; Skeld & Mira HQ only): A critical sabotage that forces the crewmates to fix it within the time limit (30 seconds on Skeld, 45 seconds on Mira HQ), or lose the game. To fix it, players must enter a 5-digit passcode in two separate locations (O2 and Admin on Skeld, Greenhouse, and Hallway on Mira HQ).
- Reactor Meltdown (Skeld & Mira HQ)/Reset Seismic Stabilizers (Polus; Radiation symbol): A critical sabotage that forces the crewmates to fix it within the time limit (30 seconds on Skeld, 45 seconds on Mira HQ, 60 seconds on Polus), or lose the game. To fix it, two crewmates must simultaneously place their hands on two separate scanners located in the reactor room (Skeld & Mira HQ), or at the top left and middle of the map (Polus).
- You cannot sabotage while in vents or while using systems such as the Admin table or Security Cameras.
- Kill crewmates. To kill a crewmate, get close to them and tap the KILL button in the lower-right corner of the screen which will light up if they're within range.
- Depending on the setting, there will be a 10-60 second cooldown period after you kill a crewmate.
- Your kill cooldown freezes while you're in a vent, looking at the emergency button, using systems such as the Admin table, or resolving sabotages.
- The kill range also depends on settings and ranges from short too long.
- Avoid killing in front of crewmates. If you're seen killing, exiting a room with a dead body, or are found next to a body that you didn't report, you'll be called out on it and voted off.
- Discuss and vote. Continue trying to appear innocent and attempt to frame crewmates.
- Always have an alibi ready to defend yourself in the event you get accused. This can come in the form of another player's testimony, or saying you were in a room far away from the body.
- Don't try to frame crewmates that have already been cleared as you'll only make yourself look suspicious.
- Don't claim to be in a room you know other players were in as they can call you out on your bluff.
- If another Impostor (their names will be displayed in red) gets accused, be prepared to vote them off if necessary. Voting for someone else when there's clear evidence against them will only make you look suspicious.
- Use the Admin table. This allows you to find lone crewmates to target, optimal sabotaging strategies, and empty rooms that you can claim you were in if asked.
- Avoid doing critical sabotages if players are nearby to them as it'll generally be repaired much faster, leaving you with a smaller window of opportunity.
- Use Door Logs (Mira HQ only). Vent into a room, kill a crewmate, vent back to Comms, then walk to the body and pretend to "discover" it. Frame the person who was last in the vicinity by claiming you saw both of them enter via the logs, but only one of them leave.
- Don't use the above strategy and then immediately after ejecting someone, sabotage Comms. It will make you look very suspicious.
- Use the Vitals panel. This allows you to check how many crewmates are left and to check your key number for the Insert Keys task in case you get asked.
- Key numbers are assigned in the order that players joined from top to bottom, left column first; players are listed in Vitals from left-to-right according to the order they joined the lobby.
- Vitals can be seen via the cameras, so sabotage Comms first if you wish to kill someone there.
- Be wary of the Security cameras. Cameras allow players to monitor you from far away, essentially creating crewmate safe zones that are extremely risky for impostors.
- Cameras will blink with a red light if they're in use.
- If there's a lone player using the camera, lock the doors (Security in Skeld, Electrical on Polus) then perform a vent kill.
- Killing in front of cameras carries a lesser risk on Polus as only one camera can be viewed at a time. It's still not advised, however.
- Be wary of cameras that get turned on and off repeatedly (not the normal blinking). It's likely the person on the other side is trying to goad you into revealing yourself.
- Continue playing as a ghost. Getting voted out isn't the end of the game as you can still sabotage to help your fellow impostor(s) win if at least one of you is still alive.
- Win the game. Impostors win if the crewmates fail to fix a critical sabotage within the time limit or if the number of impostors becomes greater than or equal to the number of crewmates (either by killing them, voting them out, or by alive players leaving).
- Sabotaging Lights is one of the most versatile sabotages you can do, allowing you to kill in "plain sight". This works especially well on Mira HQ as there are no cameras.
- As an impostor, try to only to kill when you're alone with your victim.
- If you're unfamiliar with the level layout, tap the map button at the top right of the screen to pull up a blue map (shows task locations as a crewmate).
[Edit]Warnings - Avoid using excessive profanity in chat or in your name. You'll likely get kicked or banned.
- Be careful when sabotaging the lights on Skeld and Polus. Security cameras will still work just fine allowing you to be seen.
- Never give away personal information in the chat or your username.

| How to Have Healthy Hair Posted: 04 Mar 2021 04:00 PM PST Long, luscious locks are a goal for many of us, but frizz and split ends can really put a damper on our style. Keeping your hair healthy overall will make it look smoother, shinier, and help you have more good hair days than bad ones. While healthy hair might not happen overnight, there are a few things you can do right away to start your healthy hair journey today.
[Edit]Use silicone- and sulfate-free products. - Silicones and sulfates dry your hair out and can make it frizzy. When you look for shampoo, conditioner, and any styling products, make sure they don't include silicones or sulfates to keep your hair looking healthy and shiny. Most products will say "silicone- and sulfate-free" right on the bottle, so you won't have to search hard.[1]
- You can also find natural products that don't contain silicones or sulfates.
- Stay away from products with alcohol in them, too, since alcohol can dry out your hair.
[Edit]Wash your hair 2 or 3 times per week. - Washing your hair every day can dry it out. Stretch the time you go in between washes, and try to only wash your hair when it gets oily or greasy. Your hair and your scalp will thank you![2]
- If you feel like your hair is getting dirty between washes, you can apply a dry shampoo on the days that you don't wash your hair. Just apply a small amount to your roots and then rub it throughout your hair to the ends.[3]
[Edit]Use a conditioner every time you wash your hair. - Lock in moisture and hydration with conditioner. Concentrate the conditioner on the ends of your hair, since those tend to be the most dry and damaged. Leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing for shiny, healthy hair.[4]
- If your hair feels dry, try using a deep conditioner once a week or so.
- Or, follow up with a leave-in conditioner to add hydration even after your hair dries.
[Edit]Pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel. - Vicious rubbing or wringing can lead to frizz and dryness. Instead, use a microfiber towel to gently pat the water out so it's not dripping wet anymore. Then, let it air dry the rest of the way.[5]
- Microfiber towels are better than cotton towels because they lead to less frizz.
[Edit]Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb. - Typical hair brushes can make your hair frizzy. Whenever you need to brush your hair, hold your hair by the ends and start combing with short, light strokes. Slowly move your way up to the scalp until you can brush through all of your hair without getting stuck.[6]
- Your hair is pretty fragile when it's wet. Try to brush it when it's dry or damp after a shower.
[Edit]Limit your use of heat styling devices. - Let your hair air dry as much as possible, and use heat-free styles. Put away your hair dryer, straightener, curling iron, and hot rollers unless you have a special occasion at hand, and use them on the lowest setting. Applying heat to your hair can damage it, so it's best to let your hair air dry instead.[7]
- When you do use heat styling devices, use a heat protectant serum or spray beforehand to protect your locks.
[Edit]Give your hair oil treatments once a week. - Restore your hair's softness and shine with natural oil. When your hair is still wet from the shower, massage olive oil or almond oil into your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap, then let the oil sit for at least 2 hours before rinsing it out.[8]
- Avoid using products with coconut oil. Unlike other oils, it can lead to protein buildup on hair follicles, which causes hair to become drier and more brittle.[9]
[Edit]Use bleach and hair dye sparingly. - Coloring or lightening your hair can dry it out and damage it. Try to use color and bleach as little as possible, especially if your hair is already damaged. Wait at least 8 to 10 weeks in between touch-ups or colors to give your hair a chance to rest.[10]
- Don't use perms or relaxers if your hair is bleached or dyed. The combination of chemicals can really dry out your hair and damage it.
[Edit]Protect your hair from the elements. - Sun, wind, and cold temperatures can damage and dry out your hair. When the sun is strong, wear a hat or scarf over your hair to protect it from getting too fried. If you're going swimming, wear a swim cap and rinse your hair out as soon as you're done.[11]
- Don't go outside during the winter with wet hair. When your hair freezes it can get brittle and frayed.
[Edit]Get your hair trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. - Reduce your split ends and help your hair grow faster. Try to get a trim at least every 8 weeks, but push it to 10 or 12 if you don't want to be in the salon so often. Keeping your hair trimmed will make sure the ends don't split very far up the shaft. Your hair will be less likely to break, and it will look healthy and full of life.[12]
- If you have bangs, you might need to get them trimmed every 3 weeks so they don't cover your eyes.
- If you have short hair, you might need a trim every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain the shape.
[Edit]Wear your hair in loose styles. - Pulling your hair back tightly can cause damage. Instead of wearing tight ponytails, buns, or cornrows, try wearing your hair down or pulling it back loosely. Messy buns and low ponytails are great options when you want to keep your hair back without tying it super tightly.[13]
- Pulling your hair back super tightly can even cause hair loss.
- When you do put your hair up, make sure you're using hair ties or rubber bands that are made specifically for hair.
[Edit]Avoid long-lasting hair products. - Gels and creams can build up in your hair, leading to problems. Flakes, greasiness, and irritation can all happen if you use too much of one product or leave it on for too long. If you do use a long-lasting hair product, wash it out at the end of the day to refresh your hair.[14]
- You should also give your hair a break from products every now and then, especially if you use them every day.
[Edit]Eat a balanced diet. - What you eat influences how well your hair grows. Maintain a balanced diet with plenty of protein, vitamin B, iron, and omega-3s helps your hair stay as thick and healthy as possible.[15]
- Vitamin B keeps hair thick and strong. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and nuts to get enough vitamin B.
- Eat beef, chicken, pork, fish and leafy greens like kale and spinach to get iron and protein.
- Salmon, walnuts, and avocados are excellent sources of omega-3s, which help your hair stay shiny and healthy.
- You can supplement your diet with vitamins designed to make hair stronger. Try prenatal vitamins, which contain a mix of ingredients that lead to great hair, nails, and skin.
- Look for products that work well with your hair type.
[Edit]Warnings - Beware of pills that claim to help hair grow better or help hair become healthier. Although not all of them are bad for you, some can be fake and harmful.
