Note: The Hide and Seek mode in Among Us is only to be played with friends and not random players. Since this mode is nothing but just a couple of rules, players should only play with those users who’ll be able to follow them properly.
Here are the set of rules that the players should follow to play the Hide and Seek mode in Among Us:
- Crewmates shall know and be well aware of who the impostor is in the game.
- Before the game starts, the impostor shall stand still and give a countdown of 20 seconds in the starting point of the lobby, and crewmates are supposed to utilize those few seconds for a head start to complete their tasks as fast as they can.
- Crewmates cannot fix lights sabotaged by the impostor.
- Impostors are not allowed to sabotage the map other than switching off the lights.
- Dead bodies in the game can’t be reported.
- No Emergency Meetings can be called in-game.
- Crewmates need to finish all their tasks to win the game before the impostor kills the entire crew.
The Game Format to follow in the Hide and Seek mode
Now, after the rules, there are certain necessary tweaks to make in the in-game settings of Among Us. Let us have a look at them:
- Player Speed – 1.5x
- Crewmate Vision – 5x
- Impostor Vision – 0.25x
- Kill Cooldown – 20 seconds
- Kill Distance – Short
- Visual Tasks – Off
- Common tasks – 2
- Long tasks – 2
- Short tasks – 3
The rules and format make Among Us much more interesting to play. The impostor shall declare him/herself at the very beginning of the game and give a countdown, just like the good old Hide and Seek game. Now, as the impostor finishes the countdown, he/she shall start hunting the crewmates to kill them before they finish all their tasks.
It is a whole new approach to the game, which raises the adrenaline rush of the players, and hopefully, this mode will officially be added to Among Us in the near future
Tips for best places to take cover in
Note: These five places include all the maps currently available in Among Us, namely The Skeld, MIRA HQ and Polus. Also, players have to make sure not to wear hats, and have a minimalistic character name as it will help them hide properly.
1.
The Skeld does not have much in way hiding spaces, but there is a spot in the Communications Room, where as soon as a player enters, he/she can hide behind the large chair present before the two giant monitors.
Players have to adjust their joystick movement and align the character behind the chair such that they overlap each other.
2) Reactor Room (The Skeld)
The Reactor Room in The Skeld also has an option to hide. Users can place the character such that it overlaps with the large reactor machine in the room. It would be better if the character’s color is white, as it will help it camouflage with the reactor.
3)Balcony( Mira HQ)
A player can hide in the Balcony of the Mira HQ map very conveniently. As soon as he/she enters the Balcony, he/she needs to go to the extreme left, where there will be a huge satellite present.
They can go near this satellite and slide inside it with the joystick’s help, and the satellite will completely engulf the character, hiding him/her entirely behind it.
4) Storage (Mira HQ)
Another hiding spot in Mira HQ is the Storage area. Players just need to place themselves behind the bookshelf in this location, and the 2D attribute of Among Us will never let any other player suspect if anyone standing behind that shelf.
5) Satellite Tower (Polus)
There is a sleek but viable hiding spot in Polus. As soon as the gamer enters the map, he/she needs to come to the Storage area, and on the left-hand side, there will be a satellite tower.
They can place and align their character with the joystick vertically to the tower, and the character will completely disappear against the satellite.
