Submit Samples
Collect the specimens, analyze the data, and keep the ship safe from contamination.
Submit Samples is a classic Crewmate task found across multiple maps in the Among Us universe, serving as a vital check for the integrity of the ship's systems or planetary environment. In this activity, players must collect specific organic or chemical specimens from designated collection points and transport them to a central analysis station. It represents the scientific diligence required to keep a vessel operational while under the constant threat of sabotage.

Lore & Background
For the Impostor masquerading as a loyal worker, this task presents a unique challenge of deception. While they cannot actually analyze the samples, their ability to mimic the animation allows them to blend in with the diligent Crewmates. This creates moments of high tension where a suspicious figure might be seen rushing between collection points and analyzers, hiding their true intent behind a facade of scientific duty.
In Their Own Story
The red light on the airlock pulsed rhythmically as Crewmate Green clutched the vial tightly. A drop of unknown fluid had been found near the reactor core, and time was running out before the next cycle check. Hurrying through the dimly lit corridors, they dodged a shadowy figure in Electrical who seemed to be loitering too long. Reaching the lab, Green slotted the sample into the analyzer, watching the progress bar tick up with bated breath. As the machine beeped its approval, the relief was short-lived; a sudden vote call echoed over the comms from a room they had just left.
Reader's Guide
To complete this task, first locate the designated collection points scattered across the map, which are often marked by distinct containers or terminals.
Approach one of these stations and interact with it to collect a sample. Your character will perform an animation indicating they have secured the specimen in their inventory.
Navigate quickly but cautiously to the central analysis station, usually located in a main hub like MedBay or Navigation.
Interact with the analyzer machine to deposit your collected samples. You may need to repeat this process for multiple vials depending on the specific map configuration.
Wait for the progress bar to fill completely and the machine to confirm success before moving on to other duties.
Did You Know?
- This task appears in various forms across different maps, sometimes requiring players to collect samples from multiple distinct locations before analysis.
- Impostors can mimic this task perfectly, making it impossible for observers to distinguish between a real Crewmate and a deceiver just by watching the animation.
- On The Airship, the task often involves collecting samples from specific vents or machinery within the complex, multi-level structure.
