The Blue Whale Game (Suicide Game) - Complete List Of Blue Whale Task
The Blue Whale Game (Russian: Синий кит, Siniy kit) also "Blue Whale Challenge", is an Internet "game"that is claimed to exist in several countries. The game allegedly consists of a series of tasks assigned to players by administrators during a 50-day period, with the final challenge requiring the player to commit suicide.The term "Blue Whale" comes from the phenomenon of beached whales, which is linked to suicide.
Blue Whale began in Russia in 2013 with "F57", one of the names of the so-called "death group" of the VKontakte social network, and allegedly caused its first suicide in 2015.Philipp Budeikin, a former psychology student who was expelled from his university, claimed that he invented the game. Budeikin stated that his purpose was to "clean" the society by pushing to suicide those he deemed as having no value.
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, creating a wave of moral panic in Russia. Later, Budeikin was arrested and pled guilty to "inciting at least 16 teenage girls to commit suicide", leading to Russian suicide prevention legislation and renewed world-wide concern over the Blue Whale phenomenon. It has also been linked to other rising self-harm trends, such as "human embroidery" in China.

Game structure
The game is based on the relationship between the challengers (also called players or participants) and the administrators. It involves a series of duties given by the administrators that players must complete, usually one per day, some of which involveself-mutilation.Some tasks can be given in advance, while other can be passed on by the administrators on that day, the last task beingsuicide.
The list of tasks, to be completed in 50 days, includes waking up at 4:20 A.M., climbing a crane, carving a specific phrase on the person’s own hand or arm, doing secret tasks, poking a needle to the arm or leg, standing on a bridge and roof, listening to music, and watching videos sent to the challengers by the administrator.One of these music videos was originally for Norwegian singer Emilie Nicolas' upbeat song "Pstereo" (filmed in Scotland). It had been dubbed by the administrator and set to BENY's hauntingly somber remix of Australian singer Sarah Blasko's country-folkish song "All I Want" (video filmed in Victoria, Australia).

Bulgaria
The first news about Blue Whale appeared in mid-February 2017. The
emergency was faced by the Safer Internet Centre, established under the
Safer Internet plus Programme of the European Commission when "this
sensationalistic story was inflated by a number of our clickbait
websites creating a wave of panic among parents", as the Centre
Coordinator Georgi Apostolov reported. "We decided not to initiate
contact directly with the media since this would attract additional
interest and could mislead the public into believing the story to be
somehow true. As the hype was magnified by thousands sharing the story
on the social networks, we just published a warning on our website and
spread the link in comments under all shared in Facebook articles and
posts. Then the mainstream media themselves started asking us for
interviews and quoting our conclusions that it evidently was a hoax."[86]
Two discussion groups about suicides were opened on Facebook, but
quickly reported and deleted. The diffusion of the viral news was
stopped within two weeks. Later, when a sensationalist piece in the
Romanian newspaper Gandul caused five more articles in Bulgaria
reporting the challenge as real, media again circulated SIC's positions
and the hoax was stopped immediately.
Chile
In the Chilean city of Antofagasta, a mother reported to the police that her 12-year-old daughter had 15 cuts on her arm that formed the design of a whale.[87][88][89]

During the Summer of 2017, Chinese authorities became increasingly
concerned with the link between the destructive Blue Whale "game" and
the budding self-harm trend of "human embroidery"—a form of self-harm popular among teenagers and linked with depressive social media posts.[14]

The Criminal Investigation Directorate (Dijin) of the National Police of Colombia began an investigation into three adolescent deaths that could be related to the game.[102]

playing the fatal game, she said she had persuaded him to refrain from
playing it, but to no avail. She also said he had downloaded the game
nine months ago and that he told her not to worry if he dies soon. His
mother also revealed that he used to visit cemeteries during the night
and go to the beach alone. One of the tasks assigned to the players
involved watching the horror videos sent to them by promoters of the
game, it is believed. The boy had also drawn on his wrist with a
compass, his mother said, adding that he had offered to donate his
organs after his death.[104]
On 30 July 2017, a 14-year-old boy committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of an Andheri (East) building in the city of Mumbai.[105] Maharashtra state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis blamed the suicide on the Blue Whale game, though the Mumbai Police said they had not found evidence that the teenager had played the game.[106]
On 10 August 2017, a Class VII student in the city of Indore, State of Madhya Pradesh, was pulled away by a group of students, before he could take the final suicide leap, off the third floor of the Chamali Devi Public School.

body was taken. [111]
On 30 August 2017, a 19 year old college student in Madurai, Tamil Nadu

Italy
In Italy, press coverage of Blue Whale first appeared on 3 June 2016, in the newspaper La stampa, which described the challenge as "a bad joke".[114] The challenge was mentioned again on 3 March 2017, in the national newspapers Il Giornale[115] and Il Messaggero.
This time the challenge was described as a real Russian "game", with 50
strict rules and powerful tutors. A few days later, the suicide of a
teenager in Leghorn was linked to the challenge by some newspapers, but
an official declaration from the Leghorn police denies that: "It is a
private tragedy, totally due to familiar reasons".[116]
The debunking site BUTAC reported the total lack of evidence
supporting the existence of the game. On 14 May 2017, a TV report by Le
Iene about the Blue Whale on the national channel Italia 1[117]
again linked the challenge to the suicide in Leghorn. The report showed
several suicide scenes, mostly from videos on LiveLeak depicting adults
unrelated to the challenge, describing the footage as evidence of
teenagers playing the game. The report interviewed a schoolmate of the
Leghorn teenager, two mothers of Russian girls who supposedly took part
in the game, and the founder of the Russian Center for the safety of
children from internet crimes. Following the report, coverage of the
challenge in the Italian media increased, with many outlets describing
it as real. Some published the full list of 50 rules. There was a sharp
rise in Google searches for the challenge, and some panic.
On 15 and 16 May, newspapers announced the arrest of Budeikin,
without saying that it happened months before. His unconfirmed
statements about his supposed victims being "genetical rubbish" were
reported as real. Paolo Attivissimo, a journalist and debunker of
hoaxes, described the game as "a death myth dangerously exaggerated by
sensationalist journalism". Police received calls from terrified parents
and teachers, and there were reports of teenagers taking part in the
challenge. These included several cases of self-mutilation and attempted
suicide. Most reports were considered to be false or exaggerated.
Alleged participants came from all over Italy: Ravenna,[118] Brescia[119] and Siracusa.[120]
On the 22nd the Polizia Postale declared that they had received 40
alarms. On the 24th this number was increased to 70. On its website the
Polizia Postale defines Blue Whale as "a practice that seems to possibly
come from Russia" and offers advice to parents and teenagers.[121] Several alleged cases have since been described by newspapers.[122]

Veronika had previously posted things like "Do you feel that you become
useless?" and "I am just a ghost". On the day of her death she wrote
"Sense is lost... End".[148]
