You've probably heard about Among Us by now, given the amount of people discussing it (and sharing memes) on social media. It's not a new game, having released in June 2018, but it's seen a huge surge in popularity recently. According to Google Trends, it saw 50 times more Google searches at the beginning of October as it did the beginning of August. The game is available on computers as well as smartphones and tablets, the main difference between the two versions being that you have to pay for the PC version while the mobile port shows you ads between games.

Instead you need to work out how best to make your case to a group of people who all already have their own ideas. Plus, this limited communication means you get to ignore annoying family members and friends for long periods of the game if you want!You've probably heard about Among Us by now, given the amount of people discussing it (and sharing memes) on social media.
