The video game Among Us has become something of a cultural phenomenon with seemingly everyone playing. Part of this is because of how approachable the ga🌺me is for all ages, but it could also be how deeply ingrain🦋ed it is in internet culture.
In fact, seemingly every inch of this game is crawling with references, callbacks, and easter eggs to various cultural elements. Even if the average player has noticed a few of the easter eggs there are some that might have flown𒀰 under the radar.
Updated on September 16, 2021 by Ben Baker: The developers at InnerSloth love their easter eggs and there’s no shortage of references and hidden bits of lore sprinkled throughout the game. To this day players are discovering more things and finding little easter eggs tucked away in various maps. Some have been hiding in plain sight this whole time, others weren’t immediately recognizable, and some can only be found if you know what you’re looking for. Here are a few mꦅore easter eggs that many fans have either overlooked or failed to notice. Likely even with these added to the mix, this list is only scratching the surface of easter eggs that the average fan hasn’t learned about.
19 𓄧 Hiding White Crewmate 🦋
InnerSloth surprised many fans when that there’s an NPC tucked away in the Polus map. It&ౠrsquo;s hard to see but in the laboratory bathroom, ther⛎e is a white crewmate hiding in the center bathroom stall. The outline of the body is just barely visible in the crack in the door.
Whether it’s a crewmate hiding from the imposters or an imposter lurking in the shadows i✅s unclear. Speculation from fans is running rampant as players try to determine if there is a deeper reason to why an NPC is hiding there.
18 𓆉 Smell꧑ Ya Later
This is one of those easter eggs that’s hiding in plain sight bu💟t most fans🧔 don’t take the time to puzzle it out. Which is understandable given all the chores and killings that need to be done. One of the chores on the Polus map is the boarding pass scanner which has a QR code underneath.
Fans who’ve taken the time to scan the QR code have been ൩taken to a webpage with the phrase “Yo holmes smell ya later”. It’s unclear if this is alluding to something in-game or just a pop culture reference to Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Either way, it’s a fun nostalgic easter egg that many will appreciate.
17 DVD Screensaver ℱ
This easter egg will likely b🔥e lost on the newer generations, but anyone around before streaming became a thing will recognize this instantly. In the Admin room on the Polus map is a lar✱ge screen with the iconic DVD screensaver.
The logo will bounce around the screen changing colors with each impact. It’s a throwback to older technology and a fun bit of nostalgia from many childhoods. There’s a rumor that if you wait long enough it will eventually touch one of𒉰 the corners, call it an easter egg within an easter egg.
16 ꦫ Beꦓdcrab Pet
There are a number of video game culture references in Among Us, bꦛut one of the best h♛as to be the nod to the Half-Life series. One of the pets players can obtain to accompany their character is the Bedcrab Pet.
The appearance and name strongly suggest this is inspired by the iconic Headcrabs from the thrilling FPS series. Whether it’s a nostalgic meme of Half-Life: 2, a note to Valve that Half-Life: 3 would be appreciated, or that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Half-Life: Alyx was a great game is unclear.
15 D🔥ead Cat Head Hat
This is one of the few dark humor easter eggs InnerSloth has included in their game. Players can customize their character with an ℱitem known as the Cat Head Hat. What many players may not have realized is that this item may very well be alive, sort of.
The easter egg appears whenever a player wearing the Cat Head Hat is killed by an imposter. Shortly after being stabbed, shot, or strangled the Cat Head Hat will have its eyes crossed out indicating it died too. It’s an amusing bit of morbid humor that’s a blink and you miss it kind of ea𒁃ster egg.
14 🐠 Halo Energy Sword
With the new Airship map has come a ton of interesting Easter eggs. One that has caught many player’s attentions is the Energy Sword from the Halo franchise. This fierce weapon is located inn the vault which contains many other easter eggs as well. This particular easter egg is located in the bottom lef♛t quadrant and is resting on a gray pedestal.
An interesting deviation from the iconic energy swords is that this one is entirely pink instead of the familiar blue. This𝕴 likely means it’s either a knock-off or it’s based on the Blood Sword found in the Infected game mode in Halo 2.
13 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Weapo💯ns ไ
On the Airship map is an armory located in the southern quadrant of the vessel. The cases display familiar weapons like the pistols the꧃ Imposters sometimes use to take out the crew members. But there are a set of easter egg weapons tucked away in an outer display case.
There is a katana, bo staff, set of sai, and a set of nunchucks on displa﷽y. These weapons were all wielded by the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How on earth the crewmembers got a hold of them is unclear, especially considering none of them use thꦗe other weapons anyway.
12 Wall-E Pet ꦐ
Given that Among Uꦕs takes place in space, it only makes sense that other space-based characters would find their way in as Easter eggs. Wall-E makes an appearance as one of the custom pet options that can follow the character around the map.
Like the other pets it&rs🍨quo;s really just for show and doesn’t provide any in-game benefit. Still having the little trash compactor around is a fun nod to the iconic character and suggests that like in his world🧸, not all is well in this one.
11 ♔ Dead Snowmen
There is a dark secret located on the Polus map if players a🍸re willing to explore outside the facility a bit. Hidden in a patch of snow outside are four snowmen resembling the crew members who’ve encountered a dead body. The detail is so precise on the dead body that the bone sticking out looks genuinely real.
It’s unnerving to think that someone took the time to m🍌ake it seem lifelike or that an imposter stashed a real body this way. An even more terrifying possibility is that a crewmate used a real bone to make the scene.
10 ⛦ Super Mario Bros.
Among the many Easter eggs hidden in Mira HQ, there is a fun one f﷽or gamers. In the Office, one of the computer♈s has the game Super Mario Bros. pulled up.
It’s likely an homage to one of the early games that made the world of video games mainstream. It’s also a fun bit of lore to think that even several years in the future when humanity is exploring the stars, coloniziಌng planets, and facing ali♌ens that people still play Super Mario Bros. Perhaps in the real world future humanity will be playing Among Us.
