Birthday host guide · The house is the map

Host an Among Us birthday party game at home

Give your guests a reason to sneak into the dining room, look busy, and accuse their best friend. Sus Party turns the main birthday activity into an in-person game with secret roles and real tasks. Prepare the room before the guests arrive, then let their phones handle the roles and votes.

Check the guest list before you plan the tasks

Each player needs a phone browser and internet. Guests play together in your home; this is not a remote game. The generator covers five to fifteen players, and the host can change the setup. For children, arrange adult supervision and confirm device access before you choose this as the main activity.

Choose shared areas such as the living room, dining table, and an open hallway. Keep one meeting point. A laptop or TV can supply the optional Reactor display, but a phone-only game works too.

Prepare the game, then bring out the cake

  1. Before guests arrive: make the task pack

    Pick your areas in the generator. Review every task against the actual room. Supply paper, pencils, cards, and any other listed materials.

  2. At the start: get everyone into the same room

    Take the pack into a new game, create the room, and import the generated tasks. Share the four-letter code with the guests.

  3. Teach the actions before the secret roles

    Explain task completion, the meeting point, eliminations, and votes. Use the crew tutorial or talk through a practice task before you start.

  4. Play, debrief, and try another round

    Ask which tasks caused confusion after the round. Adjust those before the next game. Save cake and guest arrivals for a break between rounds.

Give the tasks a birthday setting

These are example stations for your own list. Use shared materials and reset each station between players.

Dining table: sort the cargo

Set out six reusable cards with numbers. Ask players to put them in order, then shuffle them for the next person.

Living room: check supplies

Ask players to count the visible cushions and write the number on their own paper. Nothing needs to move.

Hallway table: copy the signal

Place a short symbol sequence on a card. Each player copies it onto their own paper, then returns to the game.

Give every task one location and one clear finish. Use the task ideas by room to fill out the list. The app trusts players to mark tasks complete; it does not check their answers.

Make the birthday game yours

This setup opens the house preset with ten players and a mix of task styles. Change the guest count and areas, review the list, then carry it into host setup.

Keep the party easy to host

  • Explain that eliminated players stay quiet about clues. Choose a separate place for them to watch the round.
  • Keep decorations clear of task surfaces. Save food handling for the party break.
  • Use the two-station setup if a guest needs seated tasks.
  • Keep sabotage in the app. Nobody needs to hide someone’s phone, block a door, or touch a real alarm.

Can we do it with printable cards instead?

Yes. Paper roles and task cards suit a party without enough phones. You also need someone to manage progress and votes. OriginalMOM’s printable party guide provides one paper-based example. Sus Party is the browser option, with its own win rules.
