    You can play with 6 to 10 people, 1 to 2 people are the imposters. The imposters try to kill all the crew mates descritely.  The other players are the crew mates. Crew mates have tasks to do, like fixing wires, fixing lights and many more. If they finish all of their tasks, they win. 

    There are three different maps that you can play in: The Skeld(spaceship), Polus (outpost) and Mira (headquarters). Each map has specific tasks and places the imposters can sabotage. 

    “My favorite map is the Skeld map because it is a spaceship, and it has cameras where you can watch players,” junior Luke McDonald said.

    Once a crew member finds a body or has a suspicion about who the imposter is they can call a meeting and have a conversation with the players to figure out who to vote out. The imposters try to convince the other players it is not them.
