How to Install and Open the Among Us Mod Menu (MalumMenu)

MalumMenu is a client-side cheat menu for Among Us. It loads on top of the game through the BepInEx plugin framework and adds a graphical overlay packed with modules like role reveal, ESP, speed hack, freecam, and a 2D radar. Once it is installed correctly, opening the menu takes a single keypress.

Quick answer: After installing MalumMenu into your Among Us game folder and launching the game, press DELETE on your keyboard to toggle the cheat GUI on and off.

⚠️

Modding is not permitted on official Among Us servers. To experiment safely, host or join a private lobby rather than loading the menu in public matchmaking.

What MalumMenu is and what it changes

Among Us runs on the Unity engine and is compiled to IL2CPP, with no kernel-level anti-cheat. That low barrier is why an active open-source mod scene exists. MalumMenu plugs into that scene as a single download that drops into your game folder and surfaces a menu in-game.

Some features work for any player because they only read or change data on your own machine. Others depend on the lobby's host, since Among Us uses a host-based architecture where the hosting device controls core game state.

Download the correct MalumMenu build for your platform

MalumMenu releases are tied to specific Among Us versions, so match the mod version to the game version you are running. The current build, v3.1.1, targets Among Us 17.3. You can grab the newest package from the MalumMenu releases page.

There are two zip packs. Pick the one that matches where you bought the game.

Install MalumMenu on Windows

Step 1: Download the matching zip pack from the releases page. Open the zip and copy all of its contents.

Step 2: Open your Among Us game folder. The path depends on your launcher.

Step 3: Paste the copied files directly into that game folder.

Step 4: Launch Among Us as you normally would. A console window appears and installs the mod's requirements. Wait for it to finish.

Step 5: Among Us reopens automatically with MalumMenu installed. Press DELETE to toggle the cheat GUI. If nothing happens at launch, check the project's FAQ before reinstalling.

Install MalumMenu on Linux

Step 1: Run Among Us through Proton or Wine. In Steam, right-click Among Us, open Properties, go to Compatibility, and enable Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool. If the game refuses to launch, try a different Proton version.

Step 2: Set up BepInEx, the framework MalumMenu is built on. Follow the official Proton and Wine setup guide. If you are using Proton with Steam, add the DLL override through Properties, General, Launch Options.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp.dll=n,b" %command%

Step 3: Continue with the same Windows installation steps above, copying the MalumMenu files into the game folder.

Step 4: If you hit a crash or an error like Unable to execute IL2CPP chainloader, replace your launch options with the line below.

PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp.dll=n,b" %command%

How to confirm the mod menu is working

You know the install succeeded when the console window finishes its setup and Among Us reopens on its own. From the main menu or inside a lobby, press DELETE and the MalumMenu GUI overlay should appear. Press the key again to hide it.

If the menu does not show up, the most common causes are a version mismatch between the mod and the game, the wrong zip pack for your store, or files pasted into the wrong directory. Re-download the build that matches your Among Us version, confirm the files sit directly in the game folder next to Among Us.exe, and relaunch.

Matching mod versions to Among Us versions

Each MalumMenu release is built for a specific game build. Installing a mismatched version is the main reason the menu fails to load, so check this before downloading.

With the matching build in place and the game folder pointing to the right files, the menu is always one press of the DELETE key away. Keep your testing to private lobbies, and update MalumMenu whenever Among Us pushes a new version so the overlay keeps loading.
