4 /5 Ashlee Jayde: We played Saboteurs, and I thought it was a really fun twist on Among Us. The experience was well-adapted for a group game. Although there were a few glitches, it was a solid experience overall. We went with twelve people and were joined by three others. The briefing and suiting up took about 30 minutes as we picked our names and got our gear on, and the instructions were clear enough that we all went in knowing how to play.
Once the game started, we played around four rounds. Everyone in our group got a turn as the imposter, and we even had a sheriff in the last two games. Shooting could be tricky at times, some of us struggled with it, while others found it easy. The tasks were cool, especially those with interactive elements like the moving floor and smoke effects.
A PA system could be helpful, and I found that the 15-player limit made it a bit crowded. Although the maze layout helped, people tended to group up, and it sometimes felt like meetings happened quite quickly, so not much could get said or done. With a wide range of ages from kids to adults, the excitement made it a bit tricky to focus on figuring out who could’ve killed. I also noticed that crewmate wins happened a lot due to imposters struggling with the shooting mechanics while crewmates excelled at tasks.
Overall, we had a great time, and everyone in our group enjoyed it. More rounds would be ideal, as the first couple of games are really just about getting to know the space. I think the experience will keep improving as the tech updates, and I’m excited to come back with more friends. If you’re nearby and a fan of Among Us, definitely check it out!
