After a young, talented girl committed suicide in Dhaka, the addictive yet fatal internet “game” called Blue Whale came to our notice. The name Blue Whale sounds innocuous — one may be forgiven for wrongfully taking this to be a game about sea creatures and oceans. Blue Whale starts like many other such challenges — asking the player to sit on the roof, walk alone outside after midnight, watch horror films, etc. In the Blue Whale game, one certain challenge is to use a sharp object to draw a whale on the arm, which, so far, has been the first factor for detecting possible players. Blue Whale is a wake- up call.
