The latest passion to grip a number of our students is the online game Among Us. Here one of our students explains why he likes it so much…

The game involves strategy, skill, and a good poker face. The crewmates have to complete tasks and try to find out who the imposter is.  The imposter has to kill all the crewmates to win.

Completing the tasks can be challenging because you have to navigate the map, and complete them as fast as you can, before you are taken out by the imposter. It is really fun and interesting to trick and deceive the crewmates when you are the imposter.

Among us is fun to play online with people you do not know, communicating through typing in the text chat feature. However when you are in a room playing with people you know and are able to talk in real life, collaborating and exchanging information, the game becomes different with a whole new level of fun.  You are trying to figure out who the imposter is by checking if the information your crewmates are giving you is real or fake, and interpreting the reactions of the different players to being accused.

That’s why it is so much fun to play at school with friends.
