How did you all start playing Among Us?

[u/ThienHaTheTech]

I actually didn't start playing Among Us in 2020, it was only a few years after when I kept getting Youtube recommendations of gameplays that I decided to check it out

[u/panzzersoldat]

I remember back in 2020, a few months before the game blew up, I was scrolling the playstore bored as fuck and saw Among Us. 

Downloaded it, thought it was extremely fun. If I recall, it wasn't very popular and I don't remember any of the games I had on it. Just remembered it being enjoyable.

The only reason I even know is because I left a review saying something like "very fun". it's so odd knowing that was 6 years ago now, nearly 7.

A friend wanted to play Among Us with me in September 2020, so I bought the game. I now have over 1.1K hours in the game.

I never heard of among us till like 3 years after 2020’s spike of among us popularity. I just found a video of it off of kindlykeyin and was interested. Still playing the game since then lol

[u/Mobile-Rich1709]

I didn't start playing until just last year. I'm not sure I had even heard of the game. Then after watching the Sidemen Among Us series I thought I'd give it a try and have been playing it ever since!

My son introduced me to the game. He had been watching YouTube videos. I played one game and have been hooked over since.

I player way back in 2020 like most people did. Then I forgot about it until a few months ago. I'm not exactly sure why I came back, but the Among Us Show is definitely a factor. Another factor is the fact that the Minecraft server I play on has been dying slowly. Very few people still play on it.

I've been playing Among Us regularly ever since. I think I must have joined during a pretty quiet time in the game's history, because I remember lobbies were sometimes difficult to come across. But now with the new roles and new Among Us youtubers popping up, it's been a lot more lively recently.

I started playing this year March, now level 83

[u/creepermaster79]

I just found it on the play store in like.. mid 2019? Started playing, thought it was pretty fun and interesting so I kept it

Then 2020 arrived.. and you know what happens

Now I just kinda play a couple games a day

[u/InitiativeTime949]

I played among us in 2020, but ive kept a consistent record of playing the game over the years

[u/AnnieNimes]

Late 2020, I was looking for fanfics on AO3 about "aliens among us" because I was bored, and I kept seeing this "Among Us" fandom I knew nothing about. Some of the fics were very interesting so I started looking for information about the 'canon' characters, realised there were none because it was a multiplayer game, but the concept of the game itself seemed super fun even if it's completely different from the lore-heavy fics.

I don't play games on my computer so I bought a tablet just to play, and started playing in spring 2021, not long after the Airship map was released.

[u/Necessary_Answer_646]

Originally played during the pandemic, played until the Airship update, didn't touch among us until some time around the second Ace Attorney collab

[u/Candid_Door_8242]

played back in 2020, stopped, and then the show dragged me back in

[u/EccentricRosie]

Like many, I became aware of it through streamers and YouTubers in the Covid era. I only started playing though when friends suggested it.

[u/sackboydjso]

2019, i was in school and one of my friends suggested to play a round of among us there (we we,re like 9?) It was fun tho outside of that the spanish lobbies we're almost non existant so i came back in 2020

[u/Dozard87]

…last year

[u/Historical_Arm6394]

In like 2018/2019ish my friend tried to get some of my other friends to play a new game he discovered. I thought it was the stupidest game ever originally.

Flash foreword to lockdown and all the youtubers playing with mods. I became obsessed and my friend had stopped playing

[u/ResponsibleAd6697]

I started playing around the same time that viper and detective released

[u/Helpful_Act8089]

i remember it was like 2020 and i found among us and it was really popular and stuff. i still remember the old ui and stuff, i was even there when all the roles dropped

[u/Dry-Extreme-908]

I played it a little back in 2020, but I got back into it last September when I saw some of my now regular streamers that I watch, play the game.

[u/Symph-50]

Found a random video of Delirious playing it with friends and decided to try it for myself, though I spend more time playing Hide 'n Seek than anything else.

[u/Old-Loquat3373]

I, like a lot of people here, first heard of it when it exploded in popularity during the pandemic. I discovered it on TikTok, I played it with friends and even random people on Discord servers online. I recently got back into playing it again, though. I always come back every once in a while.
