Each game is made up of 10 or fewer people. One to three people are assigned to be the imposter and the rest are crewmates. It\u2019s the imposter\u2019s job to kill most of the crewmates before they figure out who the imposter is. The crewmates must complete all of their daily tasks around the map before the imposter kills them. The crewmates and the imposter have the choice to vote out a player every time a body is reported or an emergency meeting is called.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-1024x473.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-1536x710.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935-1140x527.png 1140w, https:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/theogony\/2020-2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-9935.png 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the darker premise, the game is actually very comedic.
