in #life7 years ago

Yesterday two boys jumped to death from their roof in Kerala (India).Investigation suggests that they were victimisation of the life taking game.There were several cut marks on their hands and entire body.Though as per Government orders all links and sites having this game has been terminated,still some managed to gain access to it.

Blue Whale Game also known as the "Blue Whale Challenge", is an
Internet "game" that is claimed to exist in several countries. The game allegedly consists of a series of tasks assigned to players by administrators during a 50-day period, with the final challenge requiring the player to commit suicide . The term "Blue Whale" comes from the phenomenon of beached whales , which is linked to suicide.
Blue Whale began in Russia in 2013 with "F57", one of the names of the so-called "death group" of the VKontakte social network, and allegedly caused its first suicide in 2015. Philipp Budeikin, a former psychology student who was expelled from his university, claimed that he invented the game. Budeikin stated that his purpose was to "clean" the society by pushing to suicide those he deemed as having no value.
In Russia in 2016, Blue Whale came into broader use among teenagers after a journalist brought attention to it through an article that linked many unrelated suicide victims to the Blue Whale, creating a wave of moral panic in Russia. Later, Budeikin was arrested and pled guilty to "inciting at least 16 teenage girls to commit suicide", leading to Russian suicide prevention legislation and renewed world-wide concern over the Blue Whale phenomenon.
The game is based on the relationship between the challengers (also called players or participants) and the administrators.
It involves a series of duties given by the administrators that players must complete, usually one per day, some of which involve self-mutilation .Some tasks can be given in advance, while others can be passed on by the administrators on that day, the last task being suicide .
The list of tasks, to be completed in 50 days, includes waking up at 4:20 A.M., climbing a crane, carving a specific phrase on the person’s own hand or arm, doing secret tasks, poking a needle to the arm or leg, standing on a bridge and roof, listening to music, and watching videos sent to the challengers by the administrator. One of these music videos was originally for Norwegian singer Emilie Nicolas ' upbeat song "Pstereo" (filmed in Scotland). It had been dubbed by the administrator and set to BENY's hauntingly somber remix of Australian singer Sarah Blasko 's country-folkish song "All I Want" (video filmed in Victoria, Australia).

Russia,US,Uruguay,Spain,Itly, China etc
Many places many incidents happened and every time a life is gone.
Either through piercing the chest by a sword or by throwing it to the railway line..
We should be very careful to not lend our loved ones a hand on it and get into a disaster.
