You have recently discovered the existence of a rather nice video game. This is Among Us , a multiplayer title developed by Innersloth which, despite its “simple” graphics, has conquered users due to the game mechanics, which are based on the presence of an imposter. Precisely on the latter figure you have a not insignificant doubt in terms of gameplay.
In particular, you are wondering how to close doors on Among Us . In fact, you have seen other players carry out a sabotage of this type, but you are not sure how to do it. You don’t have to worry: in this tutorial I will analyze the whole issue, explaining to you a little everything there is to know about this possibility.
What do you say? Are you ready to have fun as the impostor? In my opinion, you can’t wait to learn how to sabotage the doors and put other players in difficulty. Come on then, below you can find the quick instructions that will allow you to reach your goal on all platforms. That said, there is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to close the doors on Among Us , I think it may interest you to know more about when it is possible to do this operation.
Well, at the beginning of each game of the Innersloth title , one or more impostors (up to three) are randomly chosen , depending on the game settings (chosen by the host , or the player who hosts it). The maximum number of players is 10 , while at least 4 users are required to play online.
The impostors , as you probably already know, have the job of putting a hand in the wheels of the other players, trying to take them all out to win. The “normal” users, that is the crew members of the spaceship, do not know who the impostors are and must complete tasks , or short missions, to be able to win.
Alternatively, “normal” users can try to identify the impostor by means of the traces that the latter has left on the map, for example by defeating some users.
The system to find the imposter is that of voting : “normal” users must try to vote for the intruder, so that he is expelled and therefore cannot win the game. If all “normal” users are expelled, the impostor has the victory served on a silver platter.
To try to “confuse” other users , prevent them from calling emergency meetings (you can do this using the appropriate button on the map) or lure them into traps, perhaps before escaping through a trap door, the impostor can pretend to carry out missions and sabotage some elements of the scenario. Among the various possibilities offered to the impostor are, for example, blowing out the lights and closing the doors , precisely.
To do this, you must therefore be among the impostors : this is the basic requirement that you must keep in mind.
How to close doors on Among Us
After briefly explaining how Among Us works , I’d say it’s time to take action and explain how to close the doors.
Once you are sure that you are among the impostors (the indication appears at the beginning of the game), press the SABOTAGE icon , present at the bottom right, and take a look at the rooms where you can close the doors.
Press, therefore, on the icon of the X , present in the room where you want to close the doors and that’s it. The door will remain closed for approximately 10 seconds and you will have to wait approximately 30 seconds to be able to close it again.
Now that you have learned how to close doors, I give you some advice on how to take advantage of this possibility. Well, locking yourself in a room with another player can allow you to kill in an easy way, but you also have to take into consideration the fact that you may be seen by others.
For this reason, it is good to identify a room with a trap door nearby, so that you can escape quickly. Also avoid letting other users see you too much along with the player you decide to lock into a room: they may notice that you were with him and vote you as an impostor resulting in defeat.
For the rest, pay attention to the cameras : if there is a flashing red light , it means that someone is watching. Finally, remember that you can defend yourself in chat , perhaps by claiming to have seen someone else go to that room.
In short, now you know how to use this game mechanic in the role of the impostor: you just have to use it to try to win games.
If you want some advice: try your techniques in FREEPLAY mode , accessible from the main menu of the game. To become an impostor in the latter, just interact with the computer in the main room and press the Be_Impostor.exe file icon .
How to always be an imposter on Among Us
How do you say? Did you understand how to use the mechanics related to the impostor and now you would like to put them in place online but matchmaking has not helped you so far? No problem, I’ll explain immediately what you can do!
First, it’s good that you know that there is no 100% safe way to become an imposter on Among Us (other than to enter FREEPLAY mode and interact with the Be_Impostor.exe file , as explained in the previous chapter ).
However, in online mode it is not possible to “force” the choice of the imposter. I also strongly advise against the use of various tricks, hacks or mods , as they could cause problems with the game and with your account.
However, there are some simple measures that can increase your chances of being chosen. The first aspect to take into consideration is the fact that playing public games online, perhaps with many users involved, significantly reduces your chances.
My advice is therefore to create a game yourself, hosting and choosing the number of players and impostors. To do this, press the ONLINE button , present in the main menu of Among Us, and use the Create Game button , present under the HOST item .
At this point, select one of the available maps , choose the presence of 3 imposters and choose 9 as the maximum number of players. This is in fact the best combination the game lets you set: you have about a 33% chance of being chosen as an imposter.
Press, therefore, on the Confirm button , present at the bottom right, and you will enter your room. By default the room is private : you can use the code below to invite your friends. If, on the other hand, you want to play with other casual users online , just press the PRIVATE button , present at the bottom left, so that the option is changed to PUBLIC (public).
By doing so, you will see that after some time other players will join. Once you reach the right number, just press the START button to start the game and see if you are chosen as an imposter.
Perfect, now you know a little everything there is to know on the subject. Before leaving you to the game, I just want to clarify that Among Us is a title in constant updating , so some mechanics described in this post may change over time.
