When the guesser got the right word I would delete that word from the Skeld (gameboard). I explained that a Crewmate / Imposters would give a one word clue to the Crewmate “guesser”. I had Crewmate “Guesser” sit in the front of the room facing the screen (unable to see a Map of Tasks). With the Skeld (gameboard) projected and Map of Tasks open on each of my students chromebooks, I asked for a volunteer to be the Crewmate “Guesser”. I explained the players roles and how emergency meetings would work. Next, I showed the students slides of the word board (Skeld) and the map of tasks. “Crewmates there is an Imposter among us!” Imposters want to sabotage crewmates’ work and claim the operation for themselves. Crewmates find their cosmic research prevented and their lives at risk by beings called Impostors. Completing the tasks ensures their safety and success. Acting as maintenance workers for MIRA around Skeld (spaceship) they must complete tasks. I told students that they were crewmates aboard a spaceship. I started by projecting my CodeNames: Among Us Edition slides, creating the theme and building the story. At the end of the voting phase any identified Imposter is out and the Crewmate with the most votes is also out. After discussion players cast their vote for who they think is an imposter. During emergency meeting all players would discuss who they thought was the Imposter. 12 Crewmates would give you 3 Imposters and 16 Crewmates would give you 4 Imposters)Įmergency meetings could be called by Crewmate holding up their Red Card. Less than 8 Crewmates use only 1 Imposter. (2 Imposters to 8 Crewmates ratio…is the sweet spot but any ratio can be use. Imposter wins if all the words are guessed and they are not identified. Imposters: objective is to keep the Crewmate “Guesser” from completing the tasks (guessing the correct words on the map of tasks) and not get caught. Crewmates win if they get the Crewmate “guesser” to complete all the tasks (guess all the words identified by the map of tasks) or identify all the Imposters. There would be one Crewmate “Guesser”, Crewmates and Imposters.Ĭrewmate “Guesser”: objective is to listen to the one word clues and try to guess the word on the Skeld (gameboard) that will complete the task (match the word that goes with the colored square on the map of tasks)Ĭrewmates: objective is to get the Crewmate “Guesser” to guess all the words on Skeld (gameboard) using the map of task or identify all the Imposters. Unlike CodeNames, in this version there would be no teams.

I made the slides view only and uses black to cover all the other slides except the one I wanted to players to see. I created several different versions of the tasks board in slides so no one could memorize them. I used a second google slides to create the map of tasks card(s). The map card is a card that tells the teams which word they want to get their teammate to guess.
