Published September 19, 2017

Soon after the deadly Blue Whale Challenge started gaining momentum in Pakistan and made two people fall for it, a Pakistani teenager has developed a new game app against the life-threatening game.

The app, developed by 18-year-old Pakistani entrepreneur Waseem Gul, is similar to the actual game. Just like the Blue Whale Challenge, the anti-Blue Whale game is also a 50-day game that contains 50 tasks.

However, instead of making the players victims and convincing them to commit suicide, the new app aims to bring positivity in the lives of those playing the game by teaching them the idea about the actual meaning of life. Gul uploaded his app on Media Fire.

After the deadly game become popular among many youngsters around the world, a sudden rise in suicide cases was seen, while the number of people falling for it kept increasing. Only recently, the game entered Pakistan making two people its prey immediately.

Some of the tasks in the game developed by Gul, as listed by Tech Juice, include doing 10 push-ups, waking up at 6:00 am, slicing an onion without crying, helping parents with house chores, doing something special like buying food for the poor, eating a donut without licking your finger or lips.

According to the local media reports, after accomplishing all the tasks successfully, the last task on the 50th day says, “Congratulations you have become a Smart Blue Whale. Remember your life is a precious gift so do not waste it on strange challenges you find on the internet. The world is full of strange people, some of them will try to scare you in order to make you do odd things, if something like this happens to you, inform your parents or adults that you trust. Stay healthy and happy blue whale grandmaster.”

Being a Pre-Engineering student, Gul started his startup back in 2013 and up till now he has created apps like ‘Watch and Earn’ and ‘Gul Soft’ through which people can earn money by watching videos.
