This was a game that got a huge boost in popularity in 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown.
In the movie Glass Onion (which takes place during the lockdown) Benoit Blanc is introduced playing Among Us while taking a bath (implied for a very long time). Two of Blanc’s opponents are Angela Lansbury / Jessica Fletcher and Stephen Sondheim
Technically, Among Us the killer isn’t a human assassin but a creature like the eponynous thing in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The game features a tongue attack that no human (known) can do.
Personally, I was turned onto Among Us by my grandson who loved the game, and it was a way to bond. I went by Wargraves and nobody ever got the reference. It was a little wierd thay most of the players were grade-schoolers who had a tendency to assume everyone else was also their age. After all, I’m wearing the top hat and am named after an Agatha Christie character.

I can do the tongue thing
You could make a career out of that.
Well, to be fair, I don’t think too many grade schoolers are reading Agatha Christie novels much of these days…
Or for that matter, reading in general.
Yes, but among my regular players were Agatha Christie enthusiasts, and they failed to notice as well.
My Grandson is 11 now and is reading YAF, so there’s still hope. My partner, who is an avid reader has been calling him up to read a book together.
