How to Play Among Us Without Voice Chat And Still Win

Quick Chat 

Quick Chat is like the cheat code for communication. No typing, no shouting, just select your phrase from the menu and get to it. It’s a bit frustrating to use but once you get the hang of things. It’s a game changer.

If you're a Crewmate, use it to call out shady behavior like “It’s (add name), they’re acting sus” or “I was with (add name).” 

Note: then follow up with a free chat, you need to leave no room for any doubt

If you're an Impostor, slide by with “I was in Electrical” or “I’ve been doing tasks” to keep everyone from ganging up on you.

Remember, you can’t talk so your defence will be slower and each second passing by will be another nail striking the coffin

Actions Speak Louder

Without voice chat, you gotta play the game with your actions. If you’re a Crewmate, stick with others and keep an eye on who’s avoiding tasks. If you're the Impostor, just blend in. Do your tasks, follow the group, and try not to be too obvious. The goal? Stay low-key, but not too low-key. Try to make allies so they will speak up for you instead, making your need to defend yourself way less, don’t feel bad if you’re an impostor. It’s on them in this game

Be Quick

You don’t have the luxury of yelling “I SAW THEM DO IT!” and “NO I’M BEING FRAMED”, so you’ll have to be fast, if you’re going to be using free chat be prepared to be a keyboard warrior. So, prelim your hand for the chat and keyboard/quick chat

Read the Room

Without voice chat, you will have to be the eye. Watch who’s following tasks, who’s sticking with the group, and who’s getting too quiet. If you’re the Impostor, try to play the long game- befriend someone and use them to support you. If you’re a Crewmate, keep an eye on anyone acting extra cautious or nervous.

Visual Tasks Are Your Friend

Visual tasks like Medbay scans confirm innocence, and if you’re a Crewmate, they’re your ticket to proving you’re legit. Get someone to watch while you do it. If you’re the Impostor, stay far away from visual tasks, faking them will get you caught.

Keep It Chill

Voting gets tricky without voice chat. Watch how everyone votes. If someone is rushing to vote or pointing fingers every round, they’re probably trying to control the narrative. If you’re a Crewmate, trust your gut. If you’re an Impostor, vote like everyone else and don’t stand out.

Without voice chat, the game slows down, and that’s a good thing. Use the extra time to think. Don’t rush your tasks or your accusations. Just vibe as you go along after all the key point is to have fun, even without using voice chat
