Last updated
Ever wondered what sparked the creation of the hit social deduction game Among Us? Let’s dive into the inspiration behind this popular game that has players hooked.
What exactly led to the birth of Among Us, the game where you and your friends try to find out who’s sabotaging your space mission? We’ve got the scoop!
The Real Inspiration Behind Among Us
The creators of Among Us drew their inspiration from a mix of media and real-life experiences. The primary influence, however, comes from a party game called Mafia, and the sci-fi horror film, ‘The Thing.’
Among Us takes the deception and teamwork elements from Mafia, where players use their deduction skills to uncover hidden enemies. ‘The Thing,’ on the other hand, introduces the concept of trust issues and paranoia in a remote, isolated setting, much like the tense atmosphere on Among Us’s spaceships. Together, these influences helped shape Among Us into the thrilling game of teamwork and trickery that it is today.
