encouraged to take on 50 different challenges. Each challenge becomes more dangerous than the last. In order to win this game, the final challenge is to commit suicide. When kids accept the


game, the administrator gets some personal information from them. In case children want to leave or terminate the challenge earlier, the administrator threatens with exposure or harm to

Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc. Moreover, try to limit apps' usage and block sites promoting dangerous activities. Children who have entered the game, might have depression or even have had

withdrawn from friends and family * Persistent low mood and unhappiness * Tearfulness and irritability * Worries that stop them from carrying out day to day tasks * Sudden outbursts of anger


directed at themselves or others * Loss of interest in activities that they used to enjoy * Problems eating or sleeping TALK TO YOUR KID ABOUT THE GAME: Ask if they have heard about this at
