A few days before she died, Konstantinova had posted an image of a blue whale on her Instagram account. Then came other suicides: a boy named Isaiah Gonzalez, also in the United States, a 19-year-old in Hyderabad in India, and two Russian girls, Yulia Konstantinova and Veronika Volkova. It was only later when her family had learned about the Blue Whale challenge that they realized the significance of the meter-high paintings she had finished at school shortly before she died. In Georgia, US, a 16-year-old girl killed herself. The governor for Ulyanovsk in western Russia went on television to compare the Blue Whale challenge to the Islamic State group. It did not take long for the story to cause considerable alarm. It would come to be known worldwide as the Blue Whale challenge.

The game starts out as between the administrator and the participant/victim. Each day, the administrator will set up a different task for the participant to do. The daily tasks start off fairly easy–listening to certain genres of music to watching horror-style movies. When an individual or a group of marine mammals are washed ashore or in shallow water and cannot return itself, it is known as “stranding” Many views “stranding” as a suicidal behavior and this is the basis of the name of the “Blue Whale Challenge.” This game was named by its creator, a Russian psychologist, who thought that a person with “ no value” should commit suicide as does the whale which “strands” itself.
