The ‘Blue Whale game or challenge is a serial killer on the loose targeting the young. In modern times, killers may not move on foot, they may use the world wide web. This internet game was founded by Philipp Budekin. An expelled psychology student from Russia. The bone chilling part is the founder has no guilt over his creation.

The Blue Whale Game: The game which reaches people, especially the young in stealth over the internet uses secretive groups. It consists of a series of tasks with increasing difficulty levels. It preys on the psychological weaknesses of young minds and in succeeding levels causes dependence. After the 50 day challenge period, the final task is to commit suicide.
