Suicide/self-harm games refer, more specifically, to the Blue Whale Challenge, also known as the Blue Whale suicide game born in Russia, which led several teenagers to commit suicide. It is an online game, in which participants are assigned to a curator who provides various acts of self-harm to be committed over the course of 50 days. On the final day, participants are urged to win the game by committing suicide.
