What are the best Among Us settings? If you haven't already heard of Among Us, the traitorous stabbing sensation that has swept the nation (whichever nation you're in), you've probably been hiding in a vent for far too long. To get you up to speed; Among Us is a social deduction game where a group of astronauts on a shabby outpost or space station are trying to complete a number of tasks to win the game - meanwhile, some of them are dastardly imposters, on a mission to sabotage the crew.
Each round, between one and three imposters are randomly selected, and are given the ability to sabotage crucial parts of the ship, travel around using vents, and - most importantly - murder innocent crewmates in cold blood. Just about every setting in Among Us can be tweaked and customised in a private lobby; the impostors' kill cooldown, the crewmates' vision radius, and even how fast players can run. Yes, you can triple the movement speed and watch a bunch of tiny spacemen bouncing off the walls, but it doesn't make for the best Among Us games. For that, you'll need our guide to the ideal Among Us settings to ensure a balanced, fun game for your group to suit all lobby sizes and experience levels.
These recommended Among Us settings should be used as a starting point for your group, but if you find the games feel too easy or too difficult for either team, you can modify them slightly to redress the balance. Impostors winning too easily? Increase their kill cooldowns, or decrease the number of tasks crewmates need to do. Crewmates always winning? Try the opposite. If you've got an experienced group who know each other well, turn eject confirmation off, so you won't know the identity of ejected players. New players, however, might benefit from having visual tasks switched on, so they have more information to use when deducing whodunnit.
