I made the main box body from plywood with mitered joints with a floating bottom which was located in grooves I cut along the bottom. I could then measure the internal dimensions of the box and work out the final size. I then glued a couple of strips of plywood together to make the surround for the cards. I still had the plywood surrounds of the characters so I glued them all together to make a purpose built space for the characters. Lastly I need a box to put everything in. I also kept the outer piece as I could use that later for the box. When the machine was cutting the next one I sanded the edges of the complete one until they were all done. I was very happy with my first run so cut another 8 figures.

I then opening up the G-code with the CNC software that came with my CNC router (Candle), screwed a square bit of 3mm ply to the CNC base and set the router to cut. Once I was happy with my settings I created the G-code and saved this to my desktop. Lastly in the passes tab I selected the maximum roughing stepdown to be 0.75mm as the router bit was only 3mm diameter and didn't want to stain it too much. I then went on to the heights tab and kept most of the settings apart from the top value which I changed to 5mm. I first selected a tool that had the same diameter as my CNC had (3mm), followed by selecting the bottom line of the figure. I then switched to 'Manufacture' and set up by settings for the CNC using a 2D contour. The first 'extrude' made a solid rectangular box and the others made cutouts in the solid box. Next I extruded the plywood rectangle -3.2mm (the thickness of the plywood) and did same to the character and the name box. In sketch mode I drew a rectangle above the characters head (to write players names on) and a rectangle to represent my plywood around the whole character followed by finishing the sketch.
This gave me a basic outline of the character. I then imported the SVG in to Fusion 360 using the import feature in the tool bar. I then imported this in to Inkscape and converted it in to an SVG. Once imported I used the bucket tool to colour the entire thing black and saved it as a PNG. I started off with a drawing of an Among Us character from the internet and opening it up in Paint. This is an Instructable is to show how I went about making my own real life version. I then printed and laminated a whole load of tasks which would be distributed at the beginning of the game.Īs far as I know there isn't a similar commercial game on the market and the game concept and characters are not my own. The rectangle on the front would have the peoples names and the back would be used to determine who was the imposter.
The main character was painted on the front with the top rectangle and the whole rear of the character painted in chalkboard paint. So I made eight playing characters shaped as the ones in the game and added a rectangle above the heads. They wrote a load of tasks on paper and had a system to determine who the imposter was and had a great time playing it.įor Christmas I though it would be great to make them a set they could use which would be more hardwearing and look super cool at the same time.
#AMONG US IN REAL LIFE TASKS IDEAS PC#
My children love to play this game on the PC and their tablets and recently they stated to play a real life version (I have two kids and my partner has two kids so there are four in the house which seems to be a minimum of players you would want). I'm sure there is much more to it than this and there is loads of information on the web and loads of YouTube videos about it. If the crewmates complete all the tasks or find all the imposters they win and if the imposters kill enough crewmates they win. In the game there are crewmates and imposters, the crewmates have to go around the ship performing tasks, trying not to get killed by, and trying to deduce who the imposters are. I'm sure loads of you know what Among Us is and probably know more about it than I do! All my knowledge comes from what I've picked up from my kids when they are playing it but in a nutshell it is a space based, online, multiplayer murder mystery game.
