The game is linked to the death of a British national stabbed to death in Portugal
The game is thought to encourage teenagers to take part in 50 tasks over 50 days. The game is heavily linked with the name Jonathan Galindo - a man that may also be seen with his face painted like Mickey Mouse or a dog.
Last week's 35-year-old victim, who has not been named, was allegedly attacked after a row broke out between a group of friends while "playing the game". A 26-year-old man handed himself in to Portuguese authorities and reportedly confessed to the crime during the Blue Whale game.Dr Mark Griffiths, professor of behavioural addiction at Nottingham Trent University urged parents to be aware of changes in their children's mood.
The lethal Blue Whale 'game' involves 50 tasks in as many days, aimed at 'creating psychologically traumatising situations'. Although the legitimacy of the game is debated, it is recognised by UK authorities who previously issued advice on the trend in 2020.
