80 free Among Us trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
66 free Among Us trivia questions with answers. Among Us came out in 2018 to a few dozen players and then, two years later, became the game everyone was streaming, memeing and losing friendships over. This quiz covers all of it: the five maps from The Skeld to The Fungle, the roles from Engineer to Viper, sabotages and their timers, the 18 colours, cosmetics and pets, the Twitch and congressional streams that lit the fuse, the cancelled sequel, the console ports and their exclusive skins, the VR game and the animated series. The early questions are for anyone who has ever called an emergency meeting on a hunch. The later ones expect you to know a colour ID number, which sensor system lives on MIRA HQ, and where the studio's founders went to college. Everything is kept clean and family-friendly. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia, Innersloth's own site or the Among Us wiki, and each question shows its source once you have answered.

Q 17In September 2020, why did the developers cancel the sequel Among Us 2?

The surge crushed what Forest Willard described as 'a totally free Amazon server, and it was terrible', forcing a crunch to keep the game up.
