Is Among Us Safe for Kids?
Among Us is fairly kid-friendly in private matches with friends. The main risk is text and quick-chat with strangers in public lobbies. Use private games with people your child knows, or set chat to the censored 'Quick Chat' mode to limit stranger contact.
Our recommended age: 9+ with chat limited
Top risks parents should know
- Public lobbies include text chat with strangers.
- Free-chat mode can expose kids to inappropriate language.
- Lookalike scam apps and cheat downloads exist.
How to make Among Us safer
- Play private matches with known friends and family.
- Set chat to 'Quick Chat' (censored) mode.
- Only download the official app from the store.
