Among Us has become quite the craze during this pandemic. And now you can play it in real life!
Well, sort of. Obviously you're not going to be up in a spaceship murdering your friends and jettisoning people into space.
But you will have lots of fun pretending to murder them!
A bunch of kids I know recently decided that they want to make an Among Us game in real life, and asked me if I could help them. I looked at their unevenly sized cards that they had cut out of paper and their little minigame of fixing wires, and thought of how complex this process would be.
'Well,' I told them, 'I could help you now, but how bout you wait a couple days and I will be back with something really cool for us to play?'
Having delivered on bringing fun stuff before, they agreed. So I spent the weekend creating a printable Real Life Among Us Game.
And when I brought it back to them, it was a hit.
The older kids loved it, and the littler ones had no idea how to play but had fun searching around for tasks nonetheless.
And I figured, well, there's a lot of staying at home lately, and this would be great for a family game night. There's nothing that says family bonding like wondering which one of your siblings murdered dad. Er, right?
Anyway, this could be great for:
- Family fun night
- Kids party
- Grownup party
- Youth groups
- Whatever other gathering you can think of! (You know, once gatherings are allowed again.)
Here's what you need to play:
- The free Among Us IRL download
- A printer (or print service)
- Laminating sheets and laminator (for reuse)
- Dry erase markers
- Tape
- Flashlights (optional)
- Airhorn (optional)
I hope you can have some fun with this game like we did!
Get the download just below. It's free!
Happy murdering!
UPDATE:
Hey there! Someone has asked for an editable copy of the player cards, so here it is!
There are two options:
- The first file is an MS Word document and is completely editable (you can change tasks, names, whatever you wish).
- The second file is in PDF format with blank spaces. You can print it as is and write in names yourself, or you can add text before printing using a PDF tool. (I recommend using I Love PDF–it’s a simple and free online tool.)
