No matter what your plans for Halloween [1] look like this year, there's still one thing you can definitely do: dress up! Whether you're hanging with your family or doing a Zoom party with friends, there's no reason you still can't go all-out with your costume. And if you want to stand out this year, you should absolutely go as a character from Among Us!
If you haven't heard, Among Us [2] is a new gaming app in which you work with local "crewmates" to either figure out who the Imposter among you is, or, if you're the Imposter, cause chaos by killing others. In addition to playing this fun game and checking out the funny memes [3], you can also dress up like the characters for Halloween. TikTok creators and Instagram users have shown us several ways you can DIY [4] Among Us costumes, and they all look pretty simple (and cheap). Keep reading to see them all now.
Imposter Face Paint
This costume plays off the idea of the Imposter killing the crewmates. All you need to do is sponge some red paint on your face to resemble blood and either paint on or attach some Among Us character stickers [6].
Crewmates Costumes
Why not get the whole group involved? Dress up like Among Us characters with your friends by each aiming to wear one colour head to toe (sweats will do), then add masks and/or hats made from paper.
A 2 Item Imposter Costume
This Imposter costume is done 2020 style. Just grab a plain-coloured hoodie and a medical mask, and you're good to go.
Plain T-Shirt Costumes
Feeling a little lazy this year? You and your friends can simply wear different coloured t-shirts to get your Among Us point across.
A Deconstructed Astronaut Imposter Costume
For this Imposter costume, you'll need to buy or make a full astronaut costume (suit and helmet). Next, dye (or paint) both pieces the colour you want. You can also add some black combat boots to complete the look.
DIY Egg Hat Imposter Costume
This Imposter costume idea takes a little more effort, but the end result is so fun. First, paint a container silver in the lower right corner and along the bottom, and paint an imperfect white rectangle in the opposite corner. Next, cut a cloud shape with fabric and put pillow fluff inside. Third, cut a small yellow circle out of fabric and put pillow fluff inside. The white and yellow fabric "pillows" make an egg hat. Then, put velcro strips inside your plain-coloured hoodie and on the container to make the mask. And lastly, hot glue the egg to the top of the hoodie.
Full Suit Costumes
If you want to have a lot of fun with your costume, just get coloured inflatable skin suits!
Easy Costume with a Helmet
For this costume, buy a white astronaut helmet and then wear only white — think white dresses, long white socks, and white shoes. You can also hot glue a small plant to the top, made out of foam or something similar.
Among Us-Themed Outfits
Want to make your costume a little more stylish? Use a single colour as inspiration and then wear literally anything you own in that colour.
The Imposter Costume with Harness Straps
You can also consider this imposter costume made from a hazmat-style suit (or a yellow rain jacket and yellow pants). Cut the feet off of the costume and add harness straps for more fun.
The Imposter Costume with Gardening Clothes
This costume is similar to some of the others, except it includes gardening clothes. As you'll see in the open tabs in the video above, you'll need a motorcycle or astronaut helmet, a sweatshirt and pants that are the same colour, black garden gloves, and garden boots.
Costumes Using Home Accessories
The best thing about Among Us costumes is that you can really get creative with how you dress up. Using things from around the house like baseball caps, baskets, and even lunch boxes to accessorise your look.
Colourful Sweatshirts
If you want to be as comfortable as possible this Halloween [7], take note from this TikToker who just wore different coloured sweatshirts. Either tie the hood over your head or wear a hat of the same colour.
The Right Accessories
If you have your colourful costume all ready to go, make sure you also have the right accessories, like a fake knife.
Use Rain Jackets
Have a colourful rain jacket? Use that as part of your costume!
Subtle Makeup
To keep people on their toes about who the Imposter really is, add subtle makeup to your face.
Plants on Top
Add a few fake leaves to your goggles, helmet, or headband for an extra touch.
Extra Details
If you really want to put care and time into your costume, add as many small (and colourful) details as you can, like eyeshadow, stickers, buttons, and more.
Full Suits For Everyone
How epic is this group costume? Make sure everyone gets a similar suit in their own colour and plan who the Imposter is.
