For those who are so much into blue whale game!

  1. There is no link or download for the game, it's neither an app nor a website.
  2. The game was originally "played" as a series of private messages on social networking sites.
  3. The two original Russian curators of the game have been arrested, the Blue Whale game is gone.
  4. Dangerous copycats may still remain, teens should not attempt to make contact with these people.
  5. Those claiming to have a link to the game may be sharing links to malicious web pages.

If you don't know what blue whale game is and what the world is talking about, it is actually a game played in form of social media where the admin would persuade the player to carry out tasks given to them. The last task would be to commit suicide. Thousands of teens in Russia have committed suicide because of the game. Kids were warned to fall into this blue whale trap.
