Hit social deduction / scream paranoia at your mates game Among Us has entertained millions of people recently, but in the early days they were – from an actual legal standpoint – breaking the Geneva Conventions Act of 1957.

No, not the prisoners of war or killing civilians bit, and we do confess the headline is a bit click baity because it’s all innocent: they featured the Red Cross’s red cross’s in the game, and it’s illegal to use those unless… well, you’re the Red Cross.

See below for before / illegal and after / legal imagery.

fun fact: after the game got big in 2020 we had to change the colour of the MedBay cross because we apparently violated the Geneva Conventions Act by making it red???? oops pic.twitter.com/7Idvv1sglu
