The lobby is where players spawn when they join a game in Among Us.

Appearance[]

The lobby is a small spaceship with an entrance door at the top wall and five seats on both the upper-left and upper-right corners (ten seats total). In the lower half, there are two large, greenish-teal crates, while in the upper half, there is a smaller crate that houses a laptop for the host to edit the game's options. The upper half also features a crate for the players to access their wardrobe and change their cosmetics.

The lobby is near-identical to Dropship on Polus. The only differences are the absence of the four crates and the inclusion of Chart Course and Insert Keys. The lobby is also almost identical to Dropship on The Fungle, only differences are it is impaled by purple stalagmites, it's crashed, and the inclusion of Fix Wiring and Replace Parts. This ship can also be seen from the outside in Launchpad on MIRA HQ, although it is inaccessible.

The players can view the options set by the host for the game by pressing "View" on the right side. The host can also press "Edit" on the right side to set the game's options. The right side also features the room code (can be copied), the lobby's capacity (numbers of players in the lobby), the lobby's preset, the lobby's privacy (can be switched between Public and Private by the host), and the chosen map for the game (set by the host). The host can also see the Start button at the bottom, which will be translucent and unusable if there are fewer than four players. If the game starts at four players, there will be a warning saying that it will not be fun to play and very difficult for the Crewmates to win.^{[needs testing once again on the new version of Among Us]} A music also plays while in the lobby.

When players join the lobby, the seats they appear in are in the ascending order of when they joined the lobby. The 11th to 15th players will join in the 1st to 5th seats since there are only ten seats. If someone leaves, the next player to join will appear in the leaver's seat. The players also join with an animation that involves the character glowing white while slowly becoming the player. Once the transformation has been completed, they jump out of their seat and can freely move around in the lobby. When the player joins, they have the same cosmetics and color as the last round that they started. If said color is already taken, the player's color will be changed to the next available one. If a player joins with a name identical to one already in the game, players with matching names after the first to exist in the same lobby will be numbered in the order they joined.

Trivia[]

  • The lobby engines look similar to those on The Skeld, with the same shape and light blue flames.
• Sometimes, when joining, a player's name may be shown as "???", and/or the player may appear as Fortegreen. Both are caused by the player's character not fully loading into the game. This might show for a split second
