My kids came home from school and told me how they play a real Among Us game on the playground. When they described how they play, it sounded a lot like the old game Mafia.
We had an idea to throw an Among Us birthday party and the main event would be playing a real life Among Us game in our house! The kids had so much fun completing the tasks and trying to beat the imposter.
I created some fun printable puzzles, crewmate characters, and Among Us tasks so that you can create your own real life Among Us game at home.

How to Play Among Us in Real Life
Among Us in real life is just as fun as playing online! We did a practice round of Among Us with our family of 5 before we invited some friends over for a birthday party.
Basically we set up tasks around the house and created a map of our main level showing where each section of the “ship” was located.
Our kitchen island was the meeting place for emergency meetings.
Each person drew a card determining who they were in the game, either an imposter or crewmate. They also drew cards to see what their task was for the game. Then kids went around and started doing their tasks.
You can be as creative as you want with Among Us tasks around the house. Use nerf guns, puzzles, locks and keys, and even your tablet or phone to make tasks engaging and fun!
Among Us in Real Life Rules
We tried to follow the Among Us game rules pretty closely.
How many players: 4 – 10 players (8 crewmates and 2 imposters)
Rules:
- Each person selects a character card (free printable available below).
- Each person selects a task until all the tasks are handed out.
- No talking during the game, unless you call an emergency meeting.
- To call an emergency meeting, just yell out “Emergency Meeting.”
- The imposter can kill by using 2 fingers as a weapon and poking a crewmate in the side or back.
- The imposter cannot do tasks, but can pretend like they are doing tasks.
How to Win:
- Imposter wins if he/she kills everyone before all the crewmates finish their tasks.
- Crewmates win if they finish all their tasks before the Imposter kills everyone.
- Crewmates win if they figure out who the Imposter is before he/she kills everyone.

You will also need to scroll down and print the Among Us Character cards and Among Us tasks. I kept these separate so that you can print what you need! Everything is free to download and print as many times as needed!
NOTE: I recommend downloading to your computer before printing for the best quality!

The following Among Us task list ideas are on the printable cards. You can be as creative as you want! I’ve included printable puzzles and tools kids can use to complete the task. There are a few tasks that we used items from around our house like nerf guns to shoot down asteroids and a gallon of water they had to scoop into the “fuel engine”!
Kids love being interactive in the game, so have fun when you set up the tasks for your game!
Here are the printable tasks that kids can play at each station. You can see how we set up our tasks for the game. Below you will find a picture that shows an example of the tasks set up for the Among Us game in real life.
Garbage Disposal
Fill up a grocery bag with scrap paper to complete this task. I used a paper grocery bag and had kids fill it with my empty plastic trash bags.
Clear Asteroids
Use Nerf guns to shoot down asteroids (asteroids available in the Among Us printable game).
Clean the O2 Filter
Blow through a straw to clear cotton balls off the O2 filter (available in the Among Us printable game).
Start the Reactor
Play the memory matching game (available in the Among Us printable game).
Enter ID Code
Use a phone, tablet, or computer and have kids input a code they are given. Write the code on their character card. I laminated my cards with contact paper so I could write the code in dry erase marker and change it for the next game.
Fix Wiring
Criss cross the colors of the wires (yarn) on the electrical box. Columns 1 & 2 wires wrap around each other. Columns 3 & 4 wrap around each other. (printable available in the print version of Among Us)
Fuel Engines
Put water in a container, kids have to fill the “fuel tank” (another container) This could take place in a bathtub or kitchen sink to keep things from getting messy.
Chart Course
Complete the maze! Place in a sheet protector and use a dry erase marker to complete the maze.
Unlock Manifolds
Match the keys to the locks and then unlock (We purchased 5 locks from the Dollar Store.)
Align Engine Output
Align the string with the dotted line and loop around the brad at the end of the dotted line (print available for the IRL Among Us game).
Divert Power to Security
Move wires (yarn) from shields to security (print available in the Among Us IRL game).
Stabilize Steering
Complete the puzzle with the tiles (We used pattern blocks to complete this task. If you don’t have pattern blocks a set of blocks along with the puzzle is available in the printable Among Us game!)
Upload Data
Use the secret decoder to find the missing word on the computer (secret decoder and computer are both available in the Among Us printable game). This puzzle can be used in Weapons, Communications, and Electrical.
Submit Scan
When a crewmate receives the SUBMIT SCAN task card. They will stand on the Med Bay button for 20 seconds. (or time to be determined by you) My kids say you have to show your Character card when you have the submit scan task card.
Materials to Play Among Us in Real Life
We used extra materials from around our house to make the tasks more interactive. Use what you have!
- Nerf Guns
- Brads (craft, gold brads)
- Different colored string/yarn
- containers for water (fuel)
- Page protectors
- Dry Erase Markers
- Clear Contact Paper (to laminate game pieces to reuse again)
Tips for Printing Real Life Among Us Game
- If hosting a birthday party, try a run through first to make sure you have everything you need before the party!
- Laminate any pieces you may want to use again. You can buy clear contact paper to do this.
- Use page protectors and dry erase markers on full sheets.
- Print from FedEx Kinko’s! There is a lot to print and you can print the entire game for about $10. It’s cheaper than using up all your ink at home.
- Print your character cards on cardstock so that kids can’t easily see through the paper to find out who the Imposter is!
- Make the task in the area clear by putting the task on a tray or setting it out in the open. It should be fairly easy to find the task when they get to the right location.
- Create a map of where you plan on playing using the dotted paper at the end of the printable packet. This can stay at the location you choose as the Emergency Meeting location.
- Have fun!
