Among Us is a simple game that belongs to the social deduction genre. It centralizes the theme of four to ten players dropping onto a spaceship as Crewmates, including one or more as Impostors. The crewmates' aim is to complete all the tasks and identify the impostor, whereas the impostor has to kill the entire crew to win the game.

Many interesting and creative game modes of Among Us can be devised by altering some of its basic gameplay settings and rules. Recently, Among Us fans have created an exciting and enjoyable game mode called the Snail mode, aka Slow-Mo mode, which is extremely popular among fans right now.

This article covers the rules, format, and details that are to be followed while playing the Snail mode in Among Us.

It is the speed of the players that makes this mode in Among Us more intriguing to play. At 0.5x speed, the players will have to move around the map like a snail with super slow motion. This aspect increases the chaos and rush among players while chasing or being chased in the game.
