Why Play Among Us With No Name?

The only real advantage to playing with no name is to be a bit more difficult to notice or identify while you’re playing. Players accustomed to seeing a recognizable name above other players’ heads may become confused and gloss over a player with no name. It may make it easier for you to kill other players when you’re an imposter or make imposters more likely to pass over you. However, there are limits to the usefulness of playing with no name. While it may help a bit during a fast-paced game, you won’t fool attentive players. Other players can still call you out based on your color, the fact that you have no name, or by describing the dot or other special character you’ve used.
