Hello, teachers!

Which preposition is correct?
1. It's so bad that you broke your arm in/at the game.

Thank you very much.
Peace!

It's the same answer for both.

If you are playing the game (match), you can break your arm in the game (match), because you are (playing) in the game (match).

If you are merely a spectator, the most you can (shall I say?) hope for is to break your arm at the game (match), because you are merely present at (i.e., attending) the game (match).
