Impostor Odds Formula
Impostor and crewmate odds are calculated from player counts:
Crewmate Odds = (Crewmates / Total Players) × 100%
Example: 10 players with 2 impostors: Impostor = 2/10 × 100% = 20%, Crewmate = 8/10 × 100% = 80%. For 15 players with 3 impostors: Impostor = 3/15 × 100% = 20%, Crewmate = 12/15 × 100% = 80%.
Full Description
Among Us is a social deduction game where players are randomly assigned roles as either Crewmates or Impostors. Understanding your odds of being assigned each role helps you understand game balance and prepare for different scenarios. The odds depend on the game settings: total number of players and number of impostors.
At the start of each game, players are randomly assigned roles. The probability of being an impostor equals the number of impostors divided by the total number of players. Similarly, the probability of being a crewmate equals the number of crewmates divided by the total number of players. These odds change as players are eliminated during the game, but the calculator shows the starting odds.
This calculator helps you determine your odds of being an impostor or crewmate. Enter the total players and number of impostors, and it calculates the probabilities. Use it to understand game balance, plan strategies, or simply satisfy curiosity about your chances. Remember that these are starting odds—actual gameplay involves deduction, deception, and social interaction!
Frequently Asked Questions
How are impostor odds calculated?
Impostor odds = (Number of Impostors / Total Players) × 100%. For example, 2 impostors out of 10 players: Odds = 2/10 × 100% = 20%. Crewmate odds = (Crewmates / Total Players) × 100% = 8/10 × 100% = 80%.
What are typical Among Us game settings?
Common settings: 10 players with 2 impostors (20% impostor, 80% crewmate), 8 players with 1 impostor (12.5% impostor), 15 players with 3 impostors (20% impostor). The game supports 4-15 players and 1-3 impostors.
Do odds change during the game?
Yes! As players are eliminated, the odds change. If an impostor is eliminated, the remaining impostor odds increase. If a crewmate is eliminated, impostor odds increase. The calculator shows starting odds only.
What is the best impostor-to-crewmate ratio?
Balanced games typically use 1 impostor per 5-6 players (10 players = 2 impostors, 15 players = 3 impostors). Too many impostors makes the game too easy for impostors. Too few makes it too hard. 20% impostor ratio is common.
