The Skeld
The spaceship where Among Us began.
The Skeld is a spaceship and the original map of Among Us. Innersloth co-founder Marcus Bromander paused work on The Henry Stickmin Collection to build it, at a time when Among Us was planned as a mobile-only local multiplayer game with a single map.

Lore & Background
When the team began building the map, their idea was a ship always in crisis, with Impostors able to do tasks; in the released game Impostors can only pretend to. The Skeld's security cameras help Crewmates watch for Impostors, and its medbay has a visual task, a body scan, that other players can see.
Reader's Guide
Use the security cameras to watch the hallways, and do the medbay scan in front of others: since Impostors cannot do tasks, a visual task is proof that you are a Crewmate.
In the game's standard gameplay screenshot on The Skeld, a white Impostor stands over a blue Crewmate's body in the Admin room while a pink player in the hallway is half hidden by the sight-line mechanic.
