MOMO Challenge

Not all Momos are meant to be consumed 

The deadly Momo challenge has made headway in several countries including America, Argentina, France, Mexico, and Germany. 

A 12-year-old girl who committed suicide in Argentina was the first victim of this treacherous online game. 

Represented by the spine-chilling image of a female with her eyes popping out of the sockets, the challenge is capable of surpassing the death toll caused by the Blue Whale challenge. 

While playing the Momo challenge, players receive instructions from an unknown sender who also sends them disturbing audio and video clips.

Following in the footsteps of the deadly Blue Whale challenge, the Momo challenge has allegedly claimed its first victim in India. Local police are investigating the role of the treacherous online game in the death of a Class 10 student who committed suicide by hanging herself at her home.
