據悉，一種名為“藍鯨”或“藍鯨挑戰”（Blue Whale Challenge）的死亡游戲正由國外傳至我國。這種游戲要求參與者提供真實信息，并在規定時間內完成一系列自虐任務，一旦開始則不能退出。
“藍鯨游戲”最初起源于俄羅斯，游戲參與者在加入一個群組后，需要提交個人真實信息，包括家人真實姓名、家庭住址、裸照等等，若有人抵觸任務或者泄密，這些信息不但會公開，還會受到恐嚇。參與者會被要求在參與游戲后的50天內，每天完成一個自殘任務，下面是一份任務列表：
1.Carve with a razor "f57" on your hand, send a photo to the curator.
2.Wake up at 4.20 a.m. and watch psychodelic and scary videos that curator sends you.
3.Cut your arm with a razor along your veins, but not too deep, only 3 cuts, send a photo to the curator.

因誘導青少年自殺，游戲發明者Philip Budeikin已于2016年底在俄羅斯被捕。對于價值觀建立不完整、心理脆弱的青少年和本身可能存在自殺傾向的人來說，“藍鯨”無疑是一款非常危險的游戲。國內主要媒體和社交平臺都正在對此進行處理，防范于未然；不少網友也在呼吁大家不要參與這款游戲，甚至以該游戲的模式進行積極、正面的惡搞行為，比如將自殘任務改成背單詞、寫作業等。
雖無證據證實真的有人在參與這款危險的游戲，但關心青少年心理健康，珍愛生命，是社會各界都要積極參與和共同努力的事情。
