There is no way back once started playing it, as the administrators threatens them for harming player or his loved ones as they have access to all of their information. The game is played totally underground, players are asked to play without letting anyone know about what is going on.
The 50 day game starts with little tasks of like watching disturbing movies, waking up at odd hours in night, drawing images of words or Blue Whale on their body etc. After completing each task player has to submit a proof of his task completion in the form of images or videos. Then on 50th day , the finale of the game, players have to take their own lives.
