Dangerous Momo Challenge


So, What Exactly is this Dangerous Momo challenge?

The game “Momo Challenge” supposedly started on Facebook where the users have to accomplish some basic tasks in order to get to meet the character ‘Momo’ in the end. That these tasks keep getting violent and tough with time goes without saying. When the user reaches the last step of the game he is expected to commit suicide just like the Blue whale game.

Unfortunately, the user gets addicted to the game and in case he refuses to give in he is threatened with violent images. As a result, he is forced to continue with the game and keep participating in the hideous tasks assigned.

Origin of this dangerous Momo challenge

Momo’ is supposedly a social media platform and it is depicted by a horrible looking doll which has monstrous features. It is believed that this account is connected to three different numbers in Japan, Mexico, and Columbia. The artwork used in the game is inspired by a Japanese artist Midori Hayashi, however, she has nothing to do with it.

So far there has been only one victim of the game. A girl in Argentina fell prey to the curiosity of this Challenge. And she even filmed her act of committing suicide.
