The Answer Key

1. B — Crewmates and Impostors. Most players are crew; a small, secret number are not. 2. A. Finish the task list as a team, or deduce and eject every Impostor. 3. B. Quiet eliminations until the numbers are level — or one un-fixed critical sabotage. 4. C — Vents. Which is exactly why being caught climbing out of one is the most incriminating sight in gaming. 5. B. Report a body and the whole ship stops to argue about it — the heart of the game. 6. B — The Emergency Button, strictly rationed per player in most lobbies. 7. B. Ghosts drift through walls, finish remaining Crewmate tasks, and watch the living get everything wrong. 8. C — Swipe Card, famously either instant or a ten-attempt ordeal — there is no in between. 9. B. A visible MedBay scan or asteroid blast is the closest thing the game has to a certified alibi. 10. B. Two crew, two panels, one countdown — pure cooperative panic. 11. C — Polus, the snowy planetary base. 12. B. “Sus” — short for suspicious — the word the game gave the entire internet.

Your Verdict

11–12: Certified Crewmate. You could run the Skeld single-handedly; nobody would dare vent in front of you. 8–10: Trusted Crewmate. Solid, reliable, only mildly accusable. 5–7: Kinda Sus. You were definitely seen standing near a body once, and this score explains why. 0–4: The Impostor. Be honest — you were guessing, and everyone in the lobby knew it. However you scored, the pull of a good deduction game is timeless — the same human love of secrets and tells that runs through our list of open secrets entertainment insiders all know. Now, one last question that is not in the quiz: when are you getting the old crew back together?
