The Blue Whale challenge is a social media challenge that encourages children, teens & other users to perform specific duties, over the course of 50 days which are assigned to them by an anonymous “group administrator.” The tasks increase throughout the 50 days and on the last day of the task the only way to “win” is to die by suicide.
