What Is The Blue Whale Game?

The Blue Whale Game is said to have taken its name from the beaching of whales. In it, there are 50 challenging tasks that a player has to perform in as many days. The tasks increase in their extreme nature every day. While it may start with something uneventful like watching a scary video or listening to a song, a player is later asked to inflict self-harm. 

A list of the tasks doing the rounds on social media sites (the authenticity of this list is unknown) says the victims are asked to carve a whale on their arms, poke their own cheeks with needles, cut their lips and climb on top of a crane. For nearly twenty continuous days, they are asked to get up at ungodly hours and contemplate suicide. Finally, on the 50th day, the participants have to jump off a building.

A curator reportedly monitors the progress of a player and asks them to submit photographic evidence of the completion of each task. If a player tries to back out, they may threaten to harm them, their friends or family. How the curators manage to get details or have they ever threatened anyone has never been reported.
