BLUE WHALE:

The Blue Whale Game was first reported in Russia in 2013 with
"F57", a group on the VKontakte social network. Philipp
Budeikin, a former psychology student who was expelled from
his university, claimed that he invented the game, stating his
purpose was to clean the world from those who really don’t
value their life and he said them as biological waste.

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,

 Russia has not been able to confirm that the game is linked to 130
teen deaths

What Is The Blue Whale Game?


It's described as a game, but the Blue Whale Challenge is far from a
game. Young teens who accept the challenge are encouraged to
complete a series of tasks which get more and more sinister and at the
end of the game the player is urged to take their own life in order to
"win."

The Blue Whale suicide game goes by many names including 'A Silent
House,' 'A Sea Of Whales' and 'Wake Me Up At 4:20am.' It takes 50
days to complete and is played primarily via the website VKontakte,
which is a popular social network in Russia. It gets its name from a
common belief that blue whales voluntarily beach themselves in order
to end their own lives.

The game is attracting teens as young as 12-years-old in Russia and


Central Asian countries but recent reports suggest the game could be
spreading across Europe and into the UK. The game has been blamed
by the Russian media as the reason why 80 to 130 children committed
suicide between November 2015 and April 2016.

How to Play the Blue Whale Challenge


The game's administrators or curator find players through "death
groups" or "suicide groups" set up on VK.com (VKontakte). Police in
Russia have shut down several of these groups in recent years but say
that as soon as one is shut down, another starts up and this has driven
them underground.

Once you've been accepted by an administrator, you are given your


first of 50 daily challenges, these can be anything from simple tasks like
listening to a certain song, watching unsettling videos and waking up at
odd times to much more extreme requests like cutting words or whale
symbols into your skin. The first challenge usually comes at 4:20am.
Every time you accomplish a task, you must provide photographic or
video proof of completion to the admin.
A journalist working at Radio Free Europe created an account on VK,
posing as a 15-year-girl they attempted to join the Blue Whale game.
After making contact with a admin they were given their first task,
which involved deliberate self-harm.
Conversation: in PPT
At the end of 2015, a 17-year-old Russian girl named, Rina Palenkova
posted this selfie online moments before jumping in front of an
oncoming train. The train driver saw Rina and desperately tried to stop
the train but he couldn't and Rina was killed by the impact.

As well as posting the haunting photos, the teen also left a message on
her social media accounts, simply saying "goodbye."

Since her suicide several online communities and death groups,


including 'Sea of Whales' have been sharing Rina's photos and claiming
that she was part of their internet suicide groups, but her death has not
been officially linked to any specific online group.

However, a more sinister double-suicide early in 2017 has been linked


directly to Blue Whale. Yulia Konstantinova of 15 and Nika Volkova of
16 took their lives together by jumping from a 14-storey building.
Shortly before her death Yulia posted a photo of a blue whale on
Instagram and changed her VK status to "end." Nika also left a similar
message on her VK profile, "sense is lost... End."
In IndiaA 16-year-old boy from Kerala in Southern India was reported
to have committed suicide on 26 July 2017, after playing the online
Blue Whale game.
While 130 teens might have been members of the same group, this
doesn't mean for certain that the group or its admins encouraged any
of them to take their lives, especially when you take into consideration
that Russia has a high baseline suicide rate among young people.
