Among Us LEGO was inspired by the popular online game, which has been rapidly growing in popularity over the past few months. Among Us tasks players with identifying the imposter in a large group of players, relying on skill and social deduction to weed out the infiltrators.
Now, fans of the game can express their fandom in even more unique ways as LEGO's set offers a re-imagined iteration. It includes five main sections for builders to create, including cafeteria, electrical and storage room, engine room, reactor and lobby. This particular building block set was submitted through LEGO's 'IDEAS platform' in which people can submit their own designs, and others can vote for the winning design.
