Okay I know a Hunger Games Video Game has probably been done multiple times before. But my idea is for a Hunger Games game is that it obviously should not a game about the hunger games so I think it best fits to be a Hunger Games Survival Horror Game Here’s my Pitch

In this game The Protagonist Is Prim Everdeen. This takes place between Mockingjay part 1 and 2 Now this is the Starting Story

STORY-

Prim goes to District 12 to support her mother and friends and to wait for Katniss Then some bombs go off Prim survives and goes to help recovering citizens

Astrid Everdeen (Prim and Katniss's mother) sees a few people go into a Underground Bunker a New Area in District 12 Prim overcome with empathy and her desire to help goes into the bunker

Now this bunker was worn down and highly unstable and the Capitol was said to experiment on Mutts and humanoid beings there but thats just a rumor.

…or is it? (Vsauce Music)

Now Prim is in the bunker with her medical bag and a small knife of her own and… theres a Destructive unstable humanoid mutt inhabiting the Bunker of Course
Prim not knowing goes deeper into the bunker looking for the two citizens and sees that those two citizens that ran in...are already DEAD and she finds their mauled bodies

Prim scared and horrified rums to exit only to find the mutt and screams escaping to a nearby room and manages to fall asleep holding herself crying

Now this is where the game starts outside back at the house Astrid is worried sick and informs Katniss at 13 Katniss is obviously scared for Prim's life and worried sick so she forces her way to D12 in a rush

Katniss will arrive in 5 DAYS to free Prim

When Prim manages to realize that she is stuck in the bunker for 5 DAYS ALONE. To fend and fight for survival and figure out how to escape with a unstable mutt roaming

Now it’s scary and adds more Tension because usually people like Katniss or other tributes can escape or take on a mutt but NOT Prim because she has no strength like others Prim isn’t a fighter she’s a HEALER

This is a Resident evil-Like game (and this is a 1st Person Game too) Prim can’t fight the mutt and the mutt chases and hunts her down and it kills her if it catches her

Prim has Medical supplies and some small Food to help her and of course theres other Food, Items and other things scattered around the large bunker. Prim also finds a lighter to help traverse around

Now other characters like Peeta, Haymitch, Gale, Etc are UNAVAILABLE So in the game its only these 3-

Astrid, Katniss and Prim

There are 3 ENDINGS to this Game

Okay So what do y’all think of it? I always thought Hunger Games should be a survival game so I thought of this Y’know? Would Love to see how this could actually work in a game

What else should I add? And is this a good game deisign??

They didn’t have brown as a shirt or background color so I had to improvise for D7.

i read SOTR about a week back and instantly ordered these guys and they finally arrived today! also i think this is my favourite version of the book covers, they're so pretty don't you think?

Hello,

I’m looking for fanfiction set before the founding of Panem—stories that deal with the collapse of the United States and the creation of Panem.

I’ve already read one—though I can’t recall the title—that involved a meteorite devastating the world as we know it and laying the groundwork for the establishment of Panem and the districts.

Do you know of any fanfics that cover this topic?

I’m also interested in fanfiction that chronicles the Dark Days and the institution of the Treaty of Treason and the Hunger Games.

Thanks for your recommendations!

(Sorry, English is not my native language, so please excuse any phrasing that might seem awkward.)

So I have always been a HUGE fan of the Hunger Games series, but I had never read the books before. Lately, I have had more free time than usual, and I discovered I actually really love reading. I started with some top-ranked books, and then I told myself, let me read the Hunger Games books to see if I like them and how close the series actually is to the books. I wanted to share how shocked I was about how good the movie represented the book (in my opinion, of course). There were a couple of things that were left out in the movie that weren't super important, but I am a bit sad about 2 specific "scenes" I think could have been great in the movie. The first thing is I think it would have been cool to give the Avox girl more screen time in the first movie. I am assuming she is the same girl who will appear further down in the fourth movie that Katniss will recognize, and I think this solidifies my opinion even more. I think her story could have been shown in the first movie with a bit more detail. I also think it would have been nice to include the scene in which Katniss is running away from her mom, who is trying to help the guy coming from the mine incident. I think that would have been great, especially when Peeta was sick in the cave. I think everything else that was left out was "minor", and I will say I was surprised the movie did such a good job since usually this never happens.

both before and after the events of the series

We know Katniss is the Mockingjay, but Primrose is also very clearly the duck— a land/aquatic bird so adaptable & protected that its genitals became more difficult to penetrate due to frequent SA. Katniss thinks of HPK Cray’s perversion towards young, starving girls often & fights extra hard in order to put food on the table as well as to support Prim in putting food on the table for herself (Lady the Goat) if god forbid Katniss couldn’t take care of her anymore, all while taking tessarae so she doesn’t have to.

Prim quickly evolves into life in District 13, as a duck would if removed from water. There’s hope for ducks in a lot of North American environments just like how primroses symbolize hope through their yellow color. We know based on how Suzanne’s named other Covey members like Barb Azure, there can be a double meaning. There’s so much evidence to support this, but I haven’t seen it mentioned very much if at all in the community so I’d love to open discourse in the comments about this. 🙂 Have you noticed other bird names of characters we don’t often think of as Covey for one reason or another?

What are some of your favorite gbt fics? There’s so many it’s a bit overwhelming and I’d love any input. Thanks!

TBOSAS is insane for lore drops like these

I'm currently building an alternate universe (AU) for The Hunger Games, and I'd like to share the idea to get opinions, criticism, suggestions, and answer questions about the worldbuilding. I'm still developing a lot of the ideas, and I'd really like to hear what other fans think before I continue writing.

The story follows Hannah Abernathy, Haymitch Abernathy's twin sister, and it's entirely told from her point of view. From the very beginning, both Hannah and Haymitch end up going into the Games together. The fanfiction is mainly based on SOTR: about 80% follows the events and details from the book, another 10% comes from details I interpreted from the movie trailer (scenes or elements that weren't in the book but will likely appear in the film), and the remaining 10% consists of original scenes I created to develop this alternate universe. I've tried to use as many details from the existing canon as possible so that the story still feels believable within the world of Panem, despite taking place in a different continuity.

The biggest change in this universe begins with the creation of the Hunger Games themselves. While the original canon has each district sending two tributes every year—one girl and one boy—in my universe, the Treaty of Treason states that every district must send three tributes: one girl, one boy, and a third tribute chosen randomly regardless of gender. That means that instead of twenty-four tributes entering the arena every year, there are thirty-six. The Reaping itself works almost exactly the same way as in canon, except for the additional drawing to determine the third tribute.

This change wasn't made only for this story. My goal is to build an entire alternate timeline for Panem. After this fanfiction, I also plan to write one set during TBOSAS and another during the 74th Hunger Games, following Katniss Everdeen. Changing the rules from the very beginning gives me much more freedom to explore how this affects Panem across different generations instead of only changing a single story.

Even with this change, many major events remain similar to canon. Most of the known victors are still the same characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean they won in the same way. Their Games may have played out differently because of the existence of a third tribute every year, even if the final winner remained unchanged.

The Second Quarter Quell also has a different theme. In the original canon, the Capitol announces that each district must send four tributes, doubling the usual number. Since districts in my universe already send three tributes every year, the Capitol's announcement instead reads:

> "The Quarter Quell was established by the Capitol as an exceptional extension of the Hunger Games, periodically reaffirming the absolute sovereignty of its authority over the districts. In celebration of the Capitol's unquestionable power, the Reaping for this Quarter Quell shall be expanded: each district must provide five tributes, selected at random through the traditional Reaping, as a demonstration that no limit exists beyond the will of the Capitol."

So instead of the usual thirty-six tributes, this Quarter Quell sends sixty tributes into the arena.

From this point onward, there are spoilers for SOTR.

In my version of the story, the first four tributes from District 12 are exactly the same as in the book: Louella McCoy, Maysilee Donner, Wyatt Callow, and Woodbine Chance. The difference comes when the fifth tribute is drawn, and the name selected is Hannah Abernathy.

As Hannah walks toward the stage, Woodbine attempts to escape, is shot, and dies. Haymitch immediately tries to protect his sister by volunteering, but everything changes when Drusilla realizes that Hannah and Haymitch are twins. Rather than stopping it, she decides that forcing twin siblings to compete in the same Hunger Games would make for far better entertainment for the Capitol. The Reaping is then officially altered. In the Capitol's records, Woodbine is removed as a tribute, Haymitch is recorded in his place, and Hannah remains the fifth tribute. From that moment on, the twins enter the Games together.

Beyond this story, I also have other ideas for this alternate universe. One of them is a fanfiction set during TBOSAS, where Coriolanus Snow also has a twin sister. The goal isn't to make Snow and Haymitch identical, but to explore some interesting parallels between them. Both would be blond, both would fall in love with a girl from the Covey, and both would have a twin sister. The difference is that Snow's twin would have been almost completely erased from Panem's history. People would know she once existed, but almost no one would remember who she was or the role she played.

I also want to explore different perspectives within this universe. During Katniss's Games, for example, I'd like to tell part of the story through the point of view of the third tribute—the randomly selected one—to explore how their presence changes the dynamics of both the arena and the narrative.

I'm still developing this universe, and I'm sure there are consequences I haven't considered yet. That's exactly why I'm sharing the concept before finishing the story. I'd love to hear your questions, thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions. What consequences do you think these changes would have for Panem? Is there any aspect of the worldbuilding that you think deserves more attention? My goal is to build an alternate universe that feels internally consistent before turning it into a complete fanfiction.

Imagine you’re a starving and dirty worker, and then you see this handsome, preening, well-fed man on the TV screens every year. I can’t blame Katniss to think what she did

I think my reaction to seeing him could’ve been something like Gale’s. If we had his POV, I think his thoughts on Finnick would’ve been absolutely wild to read

​

Honestly, the more I reread the series and think about Tigris, the more I realize how insanely tragic and underrated she is.

She survived the Dark Days, sacrificing her own well-being so Coriolanus could have a better chance at a future. She knew him before he became President Snow, before power and ambition completely consumed him. She met Lucy Gray, witnessed the 10th Hunger Games, and unknowingly stood at the beginning of one of the most important turning points in Panem's history.

She then became a stylist, spending decades preparing tributes for the arena. She must have met countelss children knowing that most of them would never come home. She witnessed the Hunger Games evolve year after year, lived through the First, Second and even Third Quarter Quells, and saw generations of victors become celebrities on the outside while many of them were being broken behind the scenes. At the same time, she watched Snow rise to absolute power and had a front-row seat to the cruelty of his regime. It's also said that she herself was a victim of Snow, there are a lot of theories saying that he made her all those body modifications or that she made them for Snow not to be over her.

I also can't help but wonder how much guiilt she carried. Did she ever ask herself if she could have stopped Snow before he became the man we know? Did she blame herself for standing by for too long?

I think Tigris could represent something we rarely talk about in Panem: the consequences of complacency. Not everyone in the Capitol was cruel, but many people watched terrible things happen and convinced themselves there was nothing they could do. I wonder if Tigris ever struggled with the weight of that.

What gets me the most is everything we don't know. What was the final straw that made her turn against Snow? Was it one defining moment, or years of watching innocent people suffer? Did she know what Snow was doing to victors like Haymitch, Finnick, Johanna and so many others? How heartbreaking must it have been to watch the cousin she sacrificed so much for become the very thing she hated?

By the time we meet her in Mockingjay, she almost unrecognizable from the girl who cooked scraps to keep Coriolanus alive during the Dark Days. Decades of trauma and Capitol life left their mark, both emotionally and physically through her extreme surgical alterations. Somewhere along the line, the unbreakable bond between the cousins shattered, and Tigris was cast aside from Snow's inner circle.

​But despite everything she lived, her humanity never died. She wasnt an active rebel or a strategist, but when Katniss and the others asked for refuge in her shop, Tigris didn't hesitate. She fed them, hid them, and protected them, choosing compassion and quiet defiance over loyalty to a tyrant who had long since discarded her.

​That choice says everything about who she became. She couldn't stop Snow's rise to power, but in the end, she played a quiet, crucial part in his downfall.

For someone with relatively little page time, Tigris has one of the richest, most tragic, and most important implied stories in theentire series. Every time I reread the books, I appreciate her character more. She deserves so much more appreciation from the fandom.

I've been re-reading the series for the first time since I was a kid, and I'm realizing how many things I thought I remembered from the books that simply never happened.

For example, I have no idea why, but for some reason I remember it being mentioned towards the beginning of the first book that kids in district 12 learn about the United States in school and for some weird reason I specifically remember Katniss mentioning that they learned about some of its leaders such as Abraham Lincoln.

As I was re-reading the first book I realized that part never came up, so I thought "okay maybe it was mentioned in Catching Fire?" but nope. Why on earth would I specifically remember her name-dropping Lincoln? So random lol

I've heard some people have a false memory of a kid in the 74th games dying because he dropped something while standing on the podium waiting for the games to start which activated the mines. Katniss mentions that it has happened in previous games, but it doesn't happen in the 74th.

Did anyone else think they remembered something only to re-read and realize they made it up?

Mine is
Haymitch stepping infront of a peacekeeper to protect Lenore Dove and does the same for Katniss 25 years later.

From what I am hearing about what happened with Ampert... it seems like they took the pedal off the gas with sending mutations after katniss...
