3. Among Us

Among Us, though coming out years ago, exploded in popularity in the past two years for...reasons. But beyond those initial...reasons, it's plainly obvious why this game got so popular: it's stressful as hell, but in the most fun way possible.

You play as one of a group of space travelers working on a massive spaceship, and must maintain the ship to make sure you get to your destination. But one of you is in actuality an alien imposter, who wants to kill the entire crew because its an alien on a spaceship filled with squishy humans and that's just kinda what you do.

With the right group of friends, this game will have your palms sweating in minutes, regardless of what side you're on.

You have to either meticulously work on the ship, knowing that any one of you could be a murderous alien, or keep up appearances while slowly picking the crew off one by one, trying to keep your tells to a minimum, pinning the blame on others when you can, and trying to avoid suspicion whenever possible.
