- The Facebook Page "Game OFF 72", is the new nightmare of all parents. Imagine the state of those parents who do not know where their child is for 72 hours, and  then it turns out that it was all just a game. With my own eyes I was convinced that children do not stop here but go onto the "second level", which means running away from home for several days - she tells Informer, adding that children praise the escape, they send selfies and locations of where they are, which can only be seen by the administrators of the group, and parents cannot gain access.
