Zoom link to be emailed the morning of the event, and game codes will be given out on the call. NOTE attendees will need 2 devices – a computer or smartphone/tablet for Zoom and then a smartphone/tablet for playing Among Us.
WHAT IS AMONG US? Among Us, basically the best thing invented since flushing toilets, is a great way to make friends. The concept of the game is the same as Mafia, except it’s played in a virtual spaceship. Crewmates go around completing tasks while the impostor, whose identity is unknown to everyone else, tries to kill all the crewmates before all tasks are completed.
It might sound fierce, but with the CISV spirit in mind, we’ll keep it fun! Register now!
