Okay, serious time. I don't know if any of you heard of a game called Blue Whale, but it is BAD NEWS. The "game" is that the players are given 50 challenges to complete over the course of 50 days, and the final challenge is to KILL THEMSELVES. It's also called "A Silent House," "A Sea Of Whales" and "Wake Me Up At 4:20 AM."
The challenges consist of self-harm, waking up at 4:20 AM and watching psychedelic videos/horror movies, standing on the edges of tall buildings, standing beside railroad tracks, basically they make you find the best spots to commit suicide in your town. If you try to back out, they blackmail you and threaten to kill your family (usually parents). It is believed that this game is responsible for 130 suicides in Russia, where the game originated. And it has spread, catching on in Europe and South America. There's even been a speculated death in the USA.
This is, quite frankly, terrifying. Even if this turns out to be fake news, I figure it's better to be safe than sorry. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. I'm sure that goes without saying for most people, but we need to spread awareness. Please be careful. The game can't be downloaded normally. The "curators", who give the players the challenges and confirm that they've completed them, select their victims based on social media posts. They pick the most vulnerable, insecure, young teens that they can find and invite them to play. It's sick and twisted. Please, if you hear of somebody playing this, stop them before it's too late. Stay safe, everyone.
