The ultimate game of cat and mouse. Don't get caught by the Seeker! Host Interface. This article is for the game mode. For the game demo, see HideNSeek. Hide n Seek is a game mode in Among Us, released on December 9, 2022. It is the first alternative Gamemode released, and was first revealed in the 2021 Roadmap.The Impostor, also known as the Seeker, has to kill Crewmates who are hiding throughout the map. Living players have limited vision (configurable) and may have a limited cone of vision (referred to as Flashlight Mode). The Impostor is visually distinguished from the other Crewmates, having a permanently open mouth with sharp teeth and a wiggling tongue. The Crewmates have to survive until the timer runs out. After the timer runs out, the Seeker is given a final chance to chase down the Crewmates, referred to as "Final Hide". During this Final Hide, the Seeker gains a speed boost and tasks are disabled for the rest of the game, with the Timer Bar turning red as a visual indicator. An alarm sound effect also plays to signify the Final Hide. All Crewmates can use the Vent ability to hide from the Seeker but can only vent for a limited number of times per game and venting has a drastically reduced duration. The Seeker cannot use the vents. The task bar is replaced by a timer bar, though tasks are still available, and completing them will reduce the time. The Impostor wins if all Crewmates are killed, otherwise, the Crewmates win.
