“显然，他们通过WhatsApp来练习这场游戏，并邀请年轻人自伤，”政府秘书JanierLandono说，“这场比赛面临不同的挑战，最终都将面临自杀。”

The vile  "Momo suicide game"  has been garnering attention after it began spreading on WhatsApp, prompting police warnings.

臭名昭着的“Momo自杀游戏”在WhatsApp开始传播后引起了人们的关注，引发了警方的警告。

If players fail to complete the challenges in the game, they receive threatening messages from an avatar dubbed Momo, a bird-like woman with eyes protruding out of her head, who says the user will be cursed with an "evil spell."

如果玩家无法完成游戏中的挑战，他们会收到一个名为Momo的化身恐吓信息，这是一个像鸟一样的女性，她的眼睛突出，她说，用户将被“恶咒”诅咒。

There is also a Momo doll created by Japanese doll artist Midori Hayashi, though Hayashi has nothing to do with the vulgar video game.

还有一个由日本娃娃艺人米多利·哈亚希设计的洋娃娃，尽管哈希和粗俗的录像游戏毫无关系。

"Momo" is a viral challenge that asks people to add a contact via WhatsApp. The user is then urged to commit self-harm or suicide.

"Momo"是一个病毒挑战，它要求人们通过WhatsApp建立联系继续传播，然后敦促用户进行自我伤害或自杀。

The "game" has fueled comparisons to the sinister "Blue Whale challenge" that led to reports of suicides in Russia and the U.S, as well as the online fictional character of "Slender Man."

这场游戏“游戏”促使人们想起之前危险的“蓝鲸挑战”，导致了俄罗斯和美国自杀的报导，以及“苏莱德曼”的网上虚构角色。2014年，威斯康星州的两名12岁女孩试图杀死一名同学以试图取悦恐怖角色。

In 2014, two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin attempted to kill a classmate in an attempt to please the horror character.
