The " Momo Challenge" was a hoax and an internet urban legend that was rumored to spread through social media and other outlets.
A parent who alerted the press to the Momo Challenge subsequently said her child had not received messages from "Momo", but was merely told about it in a school playground conversation. The sculpture was initially thought to be created by Japanese artist Midori Hayashi who is known for making bizarre dolls using different animal parts. The viral game gained major attention after a 12-year-old girl was found dead in her backyard near Buenos Aires, Argentina, after allegedly having an online conversation with Momo.However, the creepy image of the woman wasn’t designed with evil intention and has unwittingly been used in the sick online game.

At that point, people reported seeing Momo pop up on a variety of platforms, including YouTube and YouTube Kids videos about " Peppa Pig" and Fortnite.It was reported that children and adolescents were being harassed by a user named Momo to perform a series of dangerous tasks including violent attacks, self-harm, harming others, and suicide. Authorities have released warnings discouraging people from adding the creepy figure on any social media platform. A representation of the Momo character appeared in the popular game Minecraft in the form of in-game skins and an unofficial mod created by the game's users.
