There is growing concern that this idea is spreading throughout the world through social media.
Amid the question of whether this Blue Whale challenge really exists, and without any confirmation of the link between the death of Russian teenagers with this challenge: are you worried?
What is the Blue Whale challenge?
There are a number of different opinions about the origin of Blue Whale, but many people believe that the name was derived from the behavior of a number of blue whales who deliberately slap themselves to the shore, causing them to die.
The name is then used by groups suspected of putting pressure on teens to commit suicide. The game is pretty simple, there is a curator who will give 50 tasks to the participants for 50 days.
The kind of challenge that goes with escalating from watching violent videos or horror films to something more horrible - even suicidal appeals.
Unfortunately, it is quite common for teenagers to be interested in cyberspace groups - which ultimately have an adverse impact on their mental health.
The online group associated with Blue Whale is reported to have thousands of members and subscribers on Facebook and YouTube. And this name has appeared in various countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Spain, Portugal, and England.

# Should I be worried?
Although Russian authorities are reported to be investigating the relationship between suicide cases of teenagers and pressure groups in cyberspace, there have been no confirmed reports that the incident was linked to Blue Whale.
What the police are looking for in this criminal investigation is the previous conversation between victims and users of social media that may have an impact on the actions taken.
There are also reports of suicide cases being investigated in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia and Kyrgyzstan, with a focus on its links with pressure groups on the internet.
How can I recognize the symptoms?
Childcare agencies in the UK, such as the NSPCC, provide guidance on how to detect 'online grooming' - as teens begin to build emotional connections with cyberspace groups - and how to protect your child and prevent bad events from happening.
There are a number of symptoms, but they are not always real because trained actors are careful to prevent their actions unknown. Some of these symptoms include, for example:
Being very closed, especially about what they do in cyberspace
Spend a lot of time on the internet and social media
Change the look of the screen on their phone or laptop when approached by parents
Withdraw or get angry after using the internet or send text messages
Have many new phone numbers or email addresses on their device
# What should I do?
The Center for Online Protection and Child Exploitation (CEOP) in the UK says that sometimes child behavior changes are normal, and it is important not to over-react.
Having an open and quiet conversation, COEP says, is an effective way to find out the cause of behavior change, address any issues directly and offer support.
An educational program established by the organization, ThinkUKnow, also says that it should be explained to the child that any discussion will not result in punishment from the parents.
Children, he said, are often reluctant to report their own problems if they believe their internet access will be lifted, for example.

Concerns increased
But a number of social media users have expressed concerns. Actor and businessman Christian Sugiono for example in Twitter accounts warned that this challenge is targeting 'unstable young people, who have suicidal tendencies.'
The Woodlands School in Basildon, Essex, sent a letter to parents explaining the risk of the game.
"There is no evidence to say that something undesirable happened related to the Blue Whale Challenge at our school, but we felt it was best to tell parents and caregivers," vice principal David Wright told BBC Newsbeat.
"We (want) to make sure they can help us.We all have the duty to care for our teenagers."
