Among Us is a cooperative game with traitors, where players try to complete tasks while impostors sneak around and try to counteract those plans by any means necessary. Crewmates work together to get these tasks done and determine who the impostors are before it's too late, but without communication during the main part of the game, it's up to shortly timed voting opportunities. In this simple, yet elegant game of subterfuge and deception, will you be able to suss out the sus players? Or will you be taken out by the impostors among us? In this ongoing Let's Play club, we will meet once per week and work on those galaxy brain plays. No experience is necessary, and players of all levels of experience are welcome. We will play the game in private servers, while keeping chat and video to the Zoom call.
Learning Goals
Students will hone in on social skills like teamwork and collective problem solving, as well as deductive reasoning and critical thinking.
