Is Among Us Safe for Kids?
Age rating is set by Google Play, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with Innersloth LLC.
What Among Us's age rating means
Among Us holds a family-friendly PEGI 7 rating on the Google Play. It is broadly appropriate, but a low age rating does not remove every risk: check whether it has chat, ads, or in-app purchases below.
Things for parents to check
- Among Us offers in-app purchases. Without a purchase password or spending limit, a child can run up charges. Set up Ask to Buy (iOS) or a Play purchase PIN (Android).
- Among Us shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
