# Make a party game like Among Us
> The Summer pieces behind a party game like Among Us or a Fall Guys-style round game: quick play for up to 16 players, parties, secret roles, rounds and a wins board.
A party game is quick to join and loud to play. Friends jump in together,
strangers fill the rest of the match, short rounds keep everyone laughing, and
a running count of wins gives players a reason to come back. Summer matches
hold up to 16 players, a good size for an Among Us crew or a round of
Fall Guys-style chaos. This page shows how the pieces fit together.
## The pieces you need
Your server runs the rounds; every player runs the same game.
Quick play fills a match of up to 16, first come, first served.
Friends press Play together and land in the same match.
Rounds, scores, and secret roles each player sees only for themselves.
Running and jumping respond the moment you press a key.
Accuse, argue and celebrate with everyone in the match.
A running count of wins on a public board.
See which friends are online and in your game.
Hats, colours and outfits players own and show off.
Cosmetics players buy with Sparks.
## How it fits together
Players press Play, alone or with their party, and quick play fills a match.
Summer starts a server for it, where your rules run the rounds, hand out
secret roles and keep the score. When the match ends, the server adds each
winner's win to the board, and everyone can jump straight into the next one.
## Plan my game
I'm making a party game like Among Us in Summer. Read my project and plan how
to build it with these Summer skills, in this order; if you don't have them
installed, find them in the Summer library:
1. `multiplayer` and `multiplayer-project`: the server and client scenes and
a first Local Play run.
2. `multiplayer-movement`: each player moves their own character instantly.
3. `multiplayer-state`: rounds, scores and secret roles, owned by the server.
4. `summer-matchmaking` and `summer-parties`: quick play for up to 16 players,
with friends kept together.
5. `summer-world-chat`: talk in the match.
6. `summer-leaderboards`: a board of total wins.
For each step, tell me what changes in my project and what I'll see when I
test it. Don't change any files yet.
## Build the signature features
### Secret roles
In my Summer project, give every player a secret role at the start of each
round, like the impostor in Among Us. Use the Summer `multiplayer-state`
skill; if you don't have it installed, find it in the Summer library.
* The server picks the roles, and each player's game learns only its own.
* The server checks every action against the player's real role.
* When the round ends, the server reveals everyone's role.
Read my project first and tell me what you'll change. Then test it with Local
Play with \[N] players and tell me what each player saw.
### A board of total wins
In my Summer project, add a score board that counts each player's total wins.
Use the Summer `summer-leaderboards` skill; if you don't have it installed,
find it in the Summer library.
The server adds a win for each winner when a match ends. Add a screen with the
top 50 and the player's own place, and keep the game working if the board
can't be loaded. Tell me what I can only check once the game is hosted.
