0 Comments

 

Tuesday, March 24th from 6:00 – 7:30pm

Among Us is a popular app that's free to download or $5.00 on Steam. Sign up for Among Us Night to get invited to a private Zoom call where players can talk to each other while trying to figure out who is the Imposter!

This program is geared towards Teens as the game has very mild violence.

DISCLAIMER: If we do not have a full 10 players in attendance, the remaining spots will be opened to the people browsing for public games. Please keep that in mind when attending or having your children attend. The Algoma Public Library is not responsible for the language used by those players. ​
