  "textContent": "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.\n\n**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.\n\n⚠️\n\nModding 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.\n\nImage credit: Innersloth (via YouTube/@BaumLetsHacks)\n\n* * *\n\n### What MalumMenu is and what it changes\n\nAmong 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.\n\nSome 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.\n\nFeature type| Examples| Works for\n---|---|---\nInformation reads| Role reveal, player ESP, 2D radar, ghost ESP, see votes| Any player\nMovement| Speed hack, noclip, teleport, freecam| Any player\nCosmetics| Unlock all hats, skins, visors, pets, nameplates| Any player\nRole and game control| Force impostor, force specific roles, complete all tasks, game end manager, console access| Lobby host only\n\n* * *\n\n### Download the correct MalumMenu build for your platform\n\nMalumMenu 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.\n\nThere are two zip packs. Pick the one that matches where you bought the game.\n\nStore| Zip pack to download\n---|---\nSteam or Itch.io| MalumMenu-VERSION-Steam-Itch.zip\nMicrosoft Store, Epic Games Store, or Xbox App| MalumMenu-VERSION-MicrosoftStore-EpicGames-XboxApp.zip\n\n* * *\n\n### Install MalumMenu on Windows\n\n**Step 1:** Download the matching zip pack from the releases page. Open the zip and copy all of its contents.\n\nImage credit: Innersloth (via YouTube/@BaumLetsHacks)\n\n**Step 2:** Open your Among Us game folder. The path depends on your launcher.\n\nLauncher| How to reach the game folder\n---|---\nSteam| Right-click Among Us in your Library, click Manage, then Browse local files.\nEpic Launcher| Right-click Among Us, click Manage, then click the folder icon in the Installation box.\nItch.io| Open the Itch.io app, right-click Among Us, click Manage, then Open folder in Explorer.\nMicrosoft Store| Open the WindowsApps install location (usually C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\\\), search for Among Us.exe, right-click it, and choose Open file location.\nXbox App| Right-click Among Us, click Manage, open the FILES tab, click BROWSE, then open the Among Us folder and the Content folder.\n\n**Step 3:** Paste the copied files directly into that game folder.\n\nPaste the copied files directly into that game folder | Image credit: Innersloth (via YouTube/@BaumLetsHacks)\n\n**Step 4:** Launch Among Us as you normally would. A console window appears and installs the mod's requirements. Wait for it to finish.\n\n**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.\n\nPress ****DELETE**** to toggle the cheat GUI | Image credit: Innersloth (via YouTube/@BaumLetsHacks)\n\n* * *\n\n### Install MalumMenu on Linux\n\n**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.\n\n**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.\n\n\n    WINEDLLOVERRIDES=\"winhttp.dll=n,b\" %command%\n\n\n**Step 3:** Continue with the same Windows installation steps above, copying the MalumMenu files into the game folder.\n\n**Step 4:** If you hit a crash or an error like `Unable to execute IL2CPP chainloader`, replace your launch options with the line below.\n\n\n    PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=\"winhttp.dll=n,b\" %command%\n\n\n* * *\n\n### How to confirm the mod menu is working\n\nYou 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.\n\nIf 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.\n\nImage credit: Innersloth (via YouTube/@BaumLetsHacks)\n\n* * *\n\n### Matching mod versions to Among Us versions\n\nEach 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.\n\nMod version| Among Us version\n---|---\nv3.1.1| 17.3 (2026.3.31)\nv3.1.0| 17.3 (2026.3.31)\nv3.0.2| 17.2.2 (2026.3.17), 17.2.1 (2026.2.24)\nv3.0.1| 17.2.2 (2026.3.17), 17.2.1 (2026.2.24)\nv3.0.0| 17.2.1 (2026.2.24)\nv2.4.2| 2024.9.4\nv2.4.1| 2024.8.13\nv2.4.0| 2024.6.18\n\nWith 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.",
