Among Us is a multiplayer social deduction game developed by InnerSloth and released in 2018. Set in a space-themed environment, players take on the roles of either Crewmates or Impostors. The Crewmates work together to complete tasks around the map, while the Impostors aim to sabotage the mission and eliminate the Crewmates without getting caught. Periodic meetings allow players to discuss suspicious behavior and vote to eject suspected Impostors. The game's mix of teamwork, strategy, and deception has made it a hit, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it surged in popularity.

The game’s simple yet engaging mechanics, combined with its accessibility on mobile and PC platforms, have contributed to its widespread appeal. It became a cultural phenomenon, inspiring countless memes, fan art, and collaborations with other games and brands. Among Us has also been updated with new maps, game modes, and customization options to keep the experience fresh for its players, ensuring its continued relevance in the gaming community. The game's popularity has also led to the release of official Among Us merchandise, including toys, action figures, plushies, and various collectibles, allowing fans to engage with the game beyond the screen.
