Among Us became one of the top games of 2020 when it became popular on Twitch, with over 500 million players in one month alone. What makes Among Us so attractive to players is how fun and easy it is to learn and play, and being one of the only pick-up-and-play multiplayer murder mystery video games. Players will either be chosen as a Crewmate or an Impostor, and will have to rely on stealth, deceit, and fraud to ultimately win the game.
Players are constantly searching for new places to hide and new methods either to escape the killer or to get a sneaky kill. Both Impostors and Crewmates in Among Us have a use for good hiding spots, so learning the best ones will likely increase player win-rate. To maximize the potential of these spots, players should have a short name and no accessories (or any of Among Us' many hats) to reduce visibility.
The Skeld doesn't have a ton of hiding spots, but there is a good one in the Reactor Room. Players can hide behind the big reactor machine in the center of the room, and can even blend in with the structure if playing as white. Another great spot to hide in Among Us' Skeld map is in the Communications Room. There is an office chair in front of one of the desks that players can stand behind and be barely visible to anyone who enters the room.
Among Us' Best Hiding Spots For Staying Invisible
Players can hide in the Storage closet of Mira HQ pretty easily. Having a short and simple name and just standing behind the bookshelf wouldn't make any other player think twice about anyone being there. Another hiding spot in Among Us' Mira HQ is the Balcony, at the very left with the satellite. By positioning the character directly behind the satellite, they can be completely hidden from other players.
The best hiding spot on Among Us' Polus map is out in the open, but can still be a great option for Crewmates and Impostors alike. On the top right corner of the Communications Room, next to the Storage, there is a tall satellite tower that players can hide behind. This hiding spot will also completely hide a character from other players' view.
Among Us is available on PC and mobile devices, and still has a thriving community into 2021. This means players could find more useful and more stealthy hiding spots that could mean an easy kill. Crewmates could also use these hiding spots to wait for the Impostor to kill right in front of them, meaning an easy eject win for the Crewmates. These spots are great, but players should always be on the lookout for more spots, especially when Among Us' new map, Airship, comes out.
