Canon Lore/Games

This page documents canon information from the main series to keep in mind while writing.

## 1st to 9th Hunger Games

These games were led by head gamemaker Dr. Volumnia Gaul. After being reaped, tributes were held in the peacekeeper's stables.

The mentoring and sponsoring systems were not yet established. There were also no festivities such as the interviews and parades.

All of these games were held in a former amphitheatre known as the Capitol Arena. The small size of the arena allowed tributes to kill at rapid paces, leading to the games typically only lasting a few hours. Corpses were not removed as the games were too short for them to rot. The only items found in the cornucopia were weapons and muttations were not present for these games.

Both districts 1 and 2 have won multiple of these games. It is also implied that districts 4 and 11 had at least one victor each. No information is known about their identities.

Unlike the modern games, these victors were not awarded fame.

## 10th Hunger Games

This game was the focus of The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds.

As a result of Coriolanus Snow's influence, mentoring, sponsors, and interviews were created to attract attention from Capitol citizens. The peacekeeper's stables were no longer utilized, being replaced by the Capitol Zoo.

The Capitol Arena was also the setting for this game. However, it was damaged due to a rebel bombing. This exposed a tunnelling system under neath the amphitheatre, causing the games to go on for an extended period of time.

Gaul's muttations were used for the first time, with snake mutts making an appearance towards the end.

The 10th Hunger Games was won by the District 12 female, Lucy Gray Baird. Her identity and all information about her games were erased from history by Coriolanus Snow.

## 11th Hunger Games

This game marked the creation of the Victor's Village, prizes, new arenas, and celebrity status for victors. The parade and tessera may have been implemented at this point.

Mags Flanagan, the District 4 female, won with the help of fish hooks and an awl. She was the first famous victor, the founder of the careers, and likely the first mentor from the districts.

## 50th Hunger Games

This game was the second Quarter Quell. The amount of tributes was doubled, with each district sending four children to compete.
