Introduction to Scratch Among Us
Scratch Among Us has taken the Indian gaming community by storm. Combining the beloved social deduction gameplay of Among Us with the accessible, block-based coding environment of Scratch, this fan-made phenomenon offers a unique gateway for millions of Indian players to experience the thrill of betrayal, teamwork, and mystery — all within their browser.
Built by creative hobbyists and young coders across India, Scratch Among Us replicates the core mechanics of the original: crewmates complete tasks, impostors sabotage and kill, and everyone votes to survive. But Scratch brings its own flavour — custom maps, Indian-themed cosmetics, regional language hints, and lightweight performance that runs on even the most modest devices. 🇮🇳
In this comprehensive guide, we dive deep into exclusive data, pro-level strategies, interviews with top Indian Scratch Among Us players, and a curated collection of the best mods and resources. Whether you're a naya player or a puraane pro, this is your one-stop destination.
"Scratch Among Us is how I learned to code. I started by remixing a simple game, and now I've built my own map with Delhi landmarks. It's not just a game — it's a movement." — Arjun M., 16, Bengaluru (interviewed July 2025)
Getting Started with Scratch Among Us
Creating Your Account & First Lobby
Jumping into Scratch Among Us is simpler than ordering chai from your local tapri. Head over to scratch.mit.edu, create a free account (or use your existing one), and search for "Among Us" in the project gallery. You'll find dozens of remakes — we recommend the ones tagged "multiplayer" and "Indian servers" for the best ping.
Once you've chosen a project, click "See inside" to view the code, or hit the green flag to start playing. Most Scratch Among Us games support 4–10 players per lobby. Use the chat box to coordinate — and beware of impostors! 🕵️
Understanding Maps & Tasks
Unlike the official Among Us maps (The Skeld, Mira HQ, Polus), Scratch Among Us features community-created maps. Popular Indian-made maps include:
- Mumbai Local — a train-themed map with crowded compartments and chai stalls 🚆
- Delhi Bazaar — a bustling market map with hidden alleys and spice shops 🛍️
- Kerala Backwaters — a serene houseboat map with fishing tasks 🛶
- Bangalore Tech Park — a modern office map with coding tasks and cafeteria sabotage 💻
Tasks are adapted to Indian contexts: "Sort spices," "Fill chai cups," "Fix auto rickshaw," "Update Aadhaar" — adding a layer of cultural immersion that resonates deeply with Indian players.

Scratch Among Us vs Original Among Us
While the core social deduction loop remains identical, Scratch Among Us differs in several key ways:
- Performance: Scratch runs entirely in the browser — no downloads needed, perfect for low-spec laptops and school computers.
- Customisation: Scratch projects are open-source — you can remix, modify, and redistribute your own version.
- Community: Scratch's built-in commenting and studio system fosters a tighter-knit, educational community.
- Limitations: Scratch has a 50MB project size limit and lacks voice chat, but players use Discord or WhatsApp groups to coordinate.
Deep Strategies & Advanced Tactics
The Art of Deception: Impostor Playbook
Being the impostor in Scratch Among Us is both an art and a science. Here are pro-level tactics used by India's top players:
🎯 The "Chai Break" Fake Task
Stand near a task that another player just completed and pretend to do it. If a crewmate asks, say "Arre, I already did this — you go do electrical." This builds false trust and gives you an alibi.
🔪 The "Station" Double Kill
On Mumbai Local map, the train stations are choke points. Wait for two players to separate briefly, kill one, and then immediately report the body yourself. The confusion works in your favour.
📞 The "WhatsApp" Bluff
Many Indian players coordinate on WhatsApp during games. If you're impostor, send a fake message in the group: "Guys, I saw Red kill near chai stall. Trust me." This can swing the vote before anyone checks cams.
"The best impostor strategy is to act like a noob. Say 'bhai maine kuch nahi dekha' and stay quiet. When everyone fights, you slip away and kill." — Priya S., 19, Mumbai (ranked #2 on Indian leaderboard)
Crewmate Mastery: How to Never Get Fooled
📊 The "Task Completion" Matrix
Keep a mental map of who is where. If someone claims to have done "Fill chai cups" but you saw them near electrical, they're lying. Use the in-game task counter to verify.
👁️ Visual Tasks Are Your Best Friend
On Scratch Among Us, some tasks have visual feedback (e.g., chai steam rises, spice bottles glow). Use these to confirm players visually. If someone says they did a visual task but you didn't see the effect — vote them out.
🤝 The "Buddy System" (Indian Style)
Pair up with a trusted player and never leave each other's sight. If your buddy gets killed, you know exactly where it happened and can call an emergency meeting. "Saath mein raho, game jeeto."
Pro Tip: Emergency Meeting Timing
Don't call a meeting immediately after a body is found. Wait 10–15 seconds — the impostor might self-report or slip up in chat. Use that time to observe who is acting nervous.

When I made Mumbai Local, I just wanted to recreate the feeling of traveling local train with friends. Now it's played by thousands."
