Please find below information from ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) who provide information about what’s in a game or app so parents and consumers can make informed choices about which games are right for their family. Their ratings have 3 parts: Rating Categories, Content Descriptors, and Interactive Elements.
Is Among Us Appropriate for Your Kids? – Key information below and link to ESRB website
Among Us is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+, with Content Descriptors that include Fantasy Violence and Mild Blood.
It also has Interactive Elements that include “Users Interact,” meaning players are able to chat with one another, and “In-Game Purchases,” which lets parents know the game offers the ability to make additional purchases using real-world currency.
ESRB’s Rating Summary provides more detail, stating that “players can attack other characters by using various weapons (e.g., knives, pistols, spikes); brief animations depict characters eliminating each other (e.g., getting impaled, stabbed, shot), leaving behind a cartoony corpse for others to discover.”
While the action is very cartoony and light hearted, some parents may want to look up gameplay videos to make sure it’s appropriate for their kids.
