From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The game is based in the relationship between the challengers (also called players or participants) and the administrators.[5][6] It involves a series of duties given by the administrators that players must complete, usually one per day, some of which involve self-mutilation.[7][8] Some tasks can be given in advance, while others can be passed on by the administrators on the day, the last task being suicide.[9][10]
The game was created by Philipp Budeikin, a former psychology student who was expelled from his university. Budeikin stated that his purpose was to "clean" the society by pushing to suicide those he deemed as having no value.[11][12][13][14][15] Blue Whale began in 2013 with "F57", one of the names of the so-called "death group" of the VKontakte social network.[16] It is believed that the first case of suicide related to the game occurred in 2015 in Russia.[7][17]
The phenomenon has provided fodder for conspiracy theorists, some of whom claim it is an organized campaign run by Ukrainian nationalists.[18]
