1. Do your Alignment task Faster
In the map skeld, there a task named Engine Alignment, where you need to align upper and lower engines by aligning the navigation to center. Although it’s a two-way task where you need to do this twice.
However, you can complete this task in a single step. All you need to do is tap on the navigation button right after adjusting the alignment to center.

2. Get a Blank Name in Among Us
This trick might not be fair to your squad. But, having a blank name can save you sometimes in-game, especially when you are an imposter.
The invisible name helps you hide in secret spots as there won’t be any name showing at the top of your character. You can even sometimes sneak away by killing, and there’s a chance that nobody will recognize you.
These are the following steps to get an invisible or blank name for your character :
- Copy this blank space between the quotation. “ㅤ”
- Make sure not to copy the quotation marks.
- Open the game and paste the Unicode into the name text field.

This tip is a simple one yet so effective. When you are playing as a crewmate, always watch what task other players are doing. There are many ways by which you can suspect players for doing fake tasks.
Make sure the bar increses when crewmates are performing task. If not, then there’s a high chance they are they are faking it.
Note : Due to some glitches, sometimes bar does’nt increases. Along with that, there are many two steps tasks where bar increases only when both steps are done. So, don’t just blindly kick anyone out with this trick.
Next, you should know the time duration a task takes. For example, Shields task gets completed in less than 5 sec and if a crewmate is taking so long to perform the task. They are most likely to fake it.
Some tasks are common that are given to every crewmate. So, beware of what everyone is doing, and you can always call an emergency meeting for suspects.
4. Catch Imposter from Admin Room
Many players don’t realize how crucial the admin room could be while gaining information. The Admin monitor shows you the location of players.
If you see 2 players sign in the same room and the player icon blinks, which means somebody just got killed. Right after that, whoever reports the body is surely an Imposter.
Else, you can reach out to that place where you saw the blink and see who else is nearby the body. Moreover, be ready to prove your innocence as imposters might try to plot you for that kill.

For imposters, you can take an initial position to kill crewmates, and nobody will be able to guess your position.
When you get killed by an imposter, you can quickly skip the death animation in order to do perform your task early while in ghosts.
Note : All the tips and tricks are applicable on mobile and pc version as well.
6. Sabotage with Timing
While playing as an imposter, sabotaging is a great way to kill a crewmate or to create a diversion for Everyone. Cutting of the lights is the best way to kill anyone because of the crewmate’s low vision.
If you have killed an enemy on the right side of the map, sabotage anywhere on the left side to distract the crewmates so that they won’t report the body right away.
When the taskbar is about to get completed, sabotaging comms is the best possible way to delay the tasks as it cuts off the crewmate’s pending tasks until someone fixes the comms.
