(WKRG) The Baldwin County Public School System has issued a warning to parents about a game that encourages players to harm themselves and potentially commit suicide.
The “Blue Whale” game has reportedly reached two high schools in Baldwin County, though officials wouldn’t confirm which ones. News 5 is told some students have come forward regarding the game, though officials don’t believe any students have harmed themselves playing.
According to research done by Snopes, the player signs up to follow an administrator’s tasks over the course of 50 days, which can include anything from cutting yourself to listening to a song. The player wins when they complete the final task, committing suicide, on the 50th day.
