How to Have No Name in Among Us

Having no name in Among Us is a useful trick, as it can make it easier to go unnoticed. Unfortunately, a patch to the game made it impossible to play online with a totally blank name. You can still use a special dot character to have nearly no name, but the blank name trick only works when playing Among Us locally instead of online.

How to Have Nearly No Name in Among Us

If you’re playing Among Us online and want to have no name, the closest you can get is to use a very small character like a dot. Whatever character you choose will appear over your character’s head, making you slightly more noticeable than you would be with no name, but still possible to miss when things are moving fast.

Here’s how to play Among Us with a nearly blank name:

1. Copy this dot: “ㆍ”

   To copy and paste on mobile devices:

   • How to copy and paste on Android.

   Only copy the dot, not the quotation marks.

2. Open Among Us, and tap ONLINE.

   

3. Tap the name field at the top of the screen.

   

4. Delete the current name.

   

   You may see Enter Name here or the last name you used on this device.

5. Tap the blank name field, and select Paste.

   

6. Verify that you only pasted the dot from step one, then tap OK or he check mark to proceed.

   

   If you pasted quotation marks as well, delete them before proceeding.

7. Tap Create Game to start a game, Find Game to look for a public game, or enter a code to join a private game.

   

8. When you start playing, your name will be a tiny dot.

   

How to Have a Blank Name in Among Us

While it’s no longer possible to have no name at all while playing online, you can still have a blank name when playing a local game. This is a good way to get an edge on your friends when playing locally, but you’re unlikely to fool them for long.

Here’s how to get a totally blank name in Among Us when playing locally:

1. Copy this blank space: “ㅤ”

   Don’t copy the quotation marks, just the blank character between the quotation marks.

2. Open Among Us, and tap LOCAL.

   

3. Tap the name field at the top of the screen.

   

4. Delete the current name.

   

5. Tap the name field, and paste the blank character from the first step.

   

6. Verify that you pasted only the blank character, and tap OK or the check mark to proceed.

   

   If you pasted anything else, delete it before moving on.

7. Tap Create Game to host a local game, or select a local game from the list.

   

8. Start playing Among Us with no name.

   

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 properly identify while you’re playing. Players who are used to seeing a recognizable name above other players’ heads may become confused and gloss over a player with no name. This 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 easily call you out based on your color, the fact that you have no name, or by describing the dot or other special character that you’ve used for a name.

Why Can’t You Play Among Us Online With No Name?

Among Us developer Innersloth patched out the ability to play with a blank name in the iOS and Android versions of the game, and the Windows version only allows names to contain letters and numbers. If the iOS and Android versions ever receive the same treatment, the option to play Among Us with a blank name or a dot for a name will be removed from the game altogether.
