Among Us Map Guide: Master The Map To Your Own Benefits

Among Us is probably the current hottest game on both PC and Mobile, being cross-platform. It is a detective/social game in which people have to solve a mystery.

There are two roles in the game: impostors and crewmates. As an impostor, players have to kill all other crewmates to win... while the crewmate's task is to catch the impostor and eject the guy out of the station.

There are three maps in the game - Mira HQ, The Skeld and Polus. In this Among Us Map Guide, we would analyze every map thoroughly and list out all the tips you need to master them.

1 - General Details

Notable Details

There are 4 factors that you need to keep in mind when playing on any map: Location of vents, Location of visual tasks, Wire fixing spots and Security camera areas. We have noted these four factors down into every map below.

How to Switch between Maps

You can change the map using the settings tab, which is only available if you are the host of the game. If you play the game on PC, try to learn the hotkey... especially the map button "Tab" so that you would be more efficient.

2 - Among Us Map Guide Skeld

Key Mechanics

Admin, Security

Visual Tasks

• Submit Scan
• Clear Asteroids
• Prime Shields
• Empty Garbage
• Empty Chute

Some of the most important aspects of the Skeld are listed on the map above. Of course, there are quite a few other tasks that you need to learn so make sure to also review them.

How To Use the Admin Console

You can learn the location of all players by using the Admin Console in the room. Note that this feature only displays players who are in the rooms and won't show people who are in the hallways. Dead bodies are still registered on the console as a player.

How To Use the Security Camera

You can use the security cameras in the security room to the west to monitor the rooms. When the security room is being used by someone, all cameras on the map will flash red.

2 - Among Us Map Guide Mira HQ

Key Mechanics

Admin, Doorlog

Visual Tasks

• Submit Scan

Mira HQ is pretty advantageous towards the impostors - there are no security cameras, vent connections are common... and the number of tasks is low. There are only one visual task and three visible tasks here.

How To Use the Admin Console

This is pretty much the same as the Skeld map - use this to reveal the current locations of all players on the map.

How to use the Doorlog

This is a unique mechanic that can only be found in the Communications room on this map. In Mira HQ, there are three sensors placed in the 3-way junction north of the Cafeteria. Every time a player moves across the sensor line, a trigger would be noted in the doorlog. You should only care about the last trigger of a person, as that would be an indicator of their current location.

3 - Among Us Map Guide Polus

Key Mechanics

Vitals, Admin, Security

Visual Tasks

• Submit Scan
• Clear Asteroids

Polus is the biggest map in the game and therefore it would be pretty challenging to move around as crewmates. If you are an impostor, take note of the camera locations, as they are super important here.

This map only has two visual tasks: submit scan and clear asteroids - they would be the key to detect the impostors.

How To Use the Admin Console

This is pretty much the same as the other two maps... except that on Polus there are a few specific rooms that won't be displayed on the admin feature even if a player is found in them. They are the Boiler Room and Specimen Room - this can easily be used to the advantage of the impostor.

How To Use Vitals

This feature can be found in the room on the right side of the Office. Vitals would let you know which players are still alive on the map. This is super useful as you would be able to know when to find the corpse and call an emergency meeting.

How To Use Security Camera

The security camera on Polus is much harder to use, as the security monitor here is not split screen. You would have to press the arrow button to get to the next screen of other cameras. It is best to switch between them repeatedly to constantly monitor all the zones.
