The Skeld
Release Date	June 15, 2018
Number of Vents	14
Chronology
Next	MIRA HQ

The Skeld is the primary and first map created in Among Us, set on a spaceship in outer space. It is automatically selected upon opening the game for the first time. The map was the only one included in the first version of the game's launch in 2018, with MIRA HQ, Polus, and The Airship being added subsequently. This map is the most popular because of its design and tasks and some characteristics that it integrates.
