The Imposter and the Crewmates have so many different tasks that they each need to complete.

Although, there are certain tricks that players can use, including altering their names. Here are the best names for Among Us players.

Here is a list of the best and safest names in Among Us.

  • A color different from your own: Look at your opponents and select a different name based on their color. If you're red, name yourself "Blue". This will confuse players during the discussion section, allowing players to mess up the timing of the events.
  • Invisible blank: Copy and paste "    " into the game to not have a name present. It is literally an Invisible Blank. It's just a funny way to mess with other players.
  • Name yourself "Crewmate" or "Imposter": If you're actually the Imposter, it is unlikely that players will suspect you because of your name. Another great way to mess with players and use time.
  • Name yourself "Who": Another one to mess with other players as many will say "Who" during the discussion.
  • Name yourself other players' actual name: This one works great when playing with friends to cause more confusion.
  • Use names that invoke trust: "Trusty Bob" or "Honest Halie", sometimes the simplest things can convince others of your innocence.
