Considering the grammar and spelling mistakes in that letter I would have thought some Pakistani teacher wrote it let alone a British one.

And yes this is a crazy game doing the rounds. Specially popular in India/Brazil/Russia etc... I think there were one or two cases in Pakistan as well.


Some of the challenges include going to a graveyard in the dead of night or watching gruesome videos of beheadings etc.

Lol...
But It is a more serious issue than grammar and spelling mistakes.

All the tasks are mentioned in wikipedia... one of the tasks is to watch a horror movie in the middle of night.... and tasks like not talking to anyone for a whole day.

Honestly, this is very sad to see teens (also others, mostly teens) playing and taking their life because of this nonsense.

The person who invented this game must be sick and deranged.

Exactly my thoughts. And even the Govt. schools in Pakistan have proper grammar.

This is a serious issue. the game is belong to the dark web. the "masters" are groups of Hackers. the minute you install this game in your phone the hackers will download all your personal info from your phone and they will blackmail you later if you dont comply with them.
even some of the IT guys bcome the victim of it.
Its not a game , its a Death Trap, so STAY AWAY from it.

This is what you get when you have a complete social breakdown and you're hooked to technology and social media. It invariably would lead to anxiety and depression.

It amazes me how kids nowadays have unfettered access to technology and social media without any parental controls or regulations.

Won't be surprised if the incidence of depression is linearly related to technological revolution.

Sounds like the 2017 version of "If you don't forward this email to at least 10 people you are going to get run over by a train tonight" type copypastas from 2007.

Who falls for this stuff??

Lol how can a bunch of hackers blackmail me? Are they some mafia?

It's ridiculous and logicless.

Two girls found playing 'Blue Whale' game in Jhelum, expelled from college

Two female college students in Jhelum were found to have been playing the dangerous Blue Whale challenge, a game that encourages self-harm and eventual suicide among its victims, after it emerged that they had inflicted injuries on their arms with a blade.

The two girls, who were students of grade 11 and 12 at Government Girls Degree College Pind Dadan Khan in Jhelum, were expelled from the college after the revelation, officials told DawnNews.

Raheela Chandni, the college principal, called the students' parents to explain the situation after tip-off from a third student who discovered that the girls had been playing the game.

The principal told DawnNews that she decided to expel the two girls after talking to their parents so as to "prevent other students of the college from being influenced" by the phenomenon.

One of the two girls had reached level 18 of the game, while the other was playing level 22. Both had made carvings on their arms using a sharp-edged tool.
