150th Hunger Games

The **150th Hunger Games** is the basis and main events of Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown(FFN|AO3|Wattpad). The 150th Games were the 6th Quarter Quell, with the twist being that all tributes would be selected among the existing pool of Victors. This twist is the same as the twist in the 75th Games, and was purposefully repeated to punish the Districts for the Second Rebellion.

The 150th Games are the only Games in which tributes do not all enter the same Arena; there are three separate Arenas involved across the course of the Games. The Games ended on the 23rd day as Soren Murdock from District 4 was declared the Victor.

## Tributes

Due to the Quarter Quell Twist, all twenty-four tributes were Victors of past Hunger Games.

**1** - Due to the Reaping rules in place during the 150th Games, Victors who were the only Victors of their sex in their District were automatically Reaped, as one female and one male tribute was required if possible; these tributes were Iris Kessler, Daniel Day, and Harley McDaniels. Additionally, Victors from Districts with only two Victors were automatically Reaped; this led to the Reaping of Rochelle Carrillo and Isaac Stewart from District 8 and Ruth Bradstreet and Daisy Landry from District 12. Gear Montgomery was also Reaped automatically as the only Victor from District 6.

**2** - It was confirmed in Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown that Florence Reynolds, Larkin Winters, Mallory Blanchard, Daphne Flamsteed, Soren Murdock, and James Whitlock volunteered to participate in the Games. Florence replaced Jordinia Jackson in the Games, while Mallory took the place of Maggie Hawthorne, Daphne took the place of Jasmine Murdock, and Soren took the place of Roman Murdock. It was confirmed that Larkin volunteered before a name was even drawn, and James volunteered to save Mars Wright and Quinton Li from the Arena, although it is unknown which of them was actually Reaped.

It is also assumed that Marcus Young, Tierra Palmer, Camus Callahan, and Scarlett Monroe volunteered for the Games, as Soren noted that their Districts "recruited" their youngest Victors for the Games. This means that as many as ten tributes volunteered for the 150th Games, an all-time record.

**3** - In a Hunger Games first, the Capitol was given the chance to vote on a Victor to participate in the Games, filling the spot of District Six's female tribute. The poll included all living Victors who had not already been Reaped for the Games. Decimus Ilyrian, Victor of the 100th Games, was selected and entered the Arena as well. The official results of this poll are shown below:

1. **Decimus Ilyrian**
2. Roman Murdock
3. Maggie Hawthorne
4. Romulus Quinley
5. Richter Barnett
6. Cyrus Baldwin

## Pre-Games Ceremonies

### The Reaping

The Reapings this year proceeded as usual, with the Capitol Escorts selecting the tributes from Reaping bowls. However, this year, the Reaping bowls only held a few slips, with some holding as few as just one; each Victor only had one slip in the bowl and thus had the same chances of being Reaped. In District 6, only one Reaping bowl was present as only one Victor was Reaped.

### The Train Rides

This year, every living Victor in Panem traveled by train to the Capitol, whether they were directly involved in the Games or not. Some tributes and their mentors used this time to watch the other Reapings and scout out the competition.

### The Tribute Parade

The Tribute Parade this year was held the day after the tributes arrived in the Capitol. The tributes' costumes are as follows:

* District 1 - Gladiator theme with gold accents
* District 2 - Peacekeeper uniforms
* District 3 - Unknown
* District 4 - White and sandy yellow theme with gold sandals, crowns, and tridents
* District 5 - Outfits conductive to beams of electricity
* District 6 - Unknown
* District 7 - Unknown
* District 8 - Unknown
* District 9 - Autumn color scheme
* District 10 - Leather outfits
* District 11 - Unknown
* District 12 - Surrounded by artificial fire

### Training

Training this year was held across three years. Training in the 150th Hunger Games was fairly standard and unremarkable, as nearly all the tributes were in set alliances when Training began. No major fights or disagreements of note occurred. Sebastian Fellows returned to his position as Head Trainer this year.

### Individual Assessments

At the end of Training, the tributes were assessed by the Gamemakers and given a score from 1 to 12 stating their survival skills and likelihood of winning the Games, with 12 being the best. The scores received by the tributes can be seen below:

### Tribute Interviews

Tribute Interviews were conducted by the Host, Ross Carmichael, the night before Games began. Interviews were conducted in District order, with female tributes being interviewed before male tributes.

## Hunger Games Staff

After the 150th Games was announced to be the final Games by Tantalus Snow, many former Hunger Games staff returned to their historic positions for the final Games.

### Host

Ross Carmichael returned to his former role as host, an unknown number of years after leaving the position, to host of the Tribute Interviews.

### Announcer

The role of announcer was assumed by Ross, who made important announcements in the Games including declaration of the winner.

### Head Gamemaker

Vispania Callendew returned as this Games' Head Gamemaker, taking over from Sebastian Fellows.

### Capitol Escorts

Each district was assigned a Capitol escort. It is assumed that most of these escorts were not new, as most returned from past years.

## Tribute Mentors

24 Victors were present as mentors at the 150th Hunger Games. Any Districts with two or more Victors not participating in the Games sent two Victors to mentor their tributes; in any Districts with fewer Victors, mentors were selected among volunteers from the other Victors, or by random assignment if no volunteers were present.

## Arenas

For the first time in the history of the Games, more than one Arena was used during the course of the Games, with the first two Arenas being used simultaneously and the third Arena being used at a later time.

### Arena 1

The first Arena, noted as Arena 1, is more well-known than Arena 2, as to the narrator of Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown, Soren Murdock, was present in this Arena. This Arena was filled with candy, and included regions of gummy rocks and a large lake consisting of syrup. Half of the tributes were initially sent to this Arena; the other twelve tributes were modeled as clone-like muttations.

Tributes: Marcus Young, James Whitlock, Soren Murdock, Luna Brimstone, Simon Chung, Corinna Walker, Rochelle Carrillo, Daniel Day, Harley McDaniels, Larkin Winters, Wolfgang Robertson, and Ruth Bradstreet.

### Arena 2

The second Arena, note as Arena 2, consisted of a volcanic island in a jungle environment. Half of the tributes were initially sent to this Arena; the other twelve tributes were modeled as clone-like muttations.

Tributes: Camus Callahan, Scarlett Monroe, Decimus Ilyrian, Tierra Palmer, Iris Kessler, Daphne Flamsteed, Gear Montgomery, Mac O'Connell, Isaac Stewart, Mallory Blanchard, Florence Reynolds, and Daisy Landry.

### Arena 3

After all muttations were killed in both Arenas, surviving tributes were removed from their Arenas and healed before being sent into the final Arena. Arena 3 was a ruined city trapped in an underwater dome; after this dome collapsed, tributes were sent to a tropical island filled with clones of past tributes.

## Alliances

Prior to the Games, most of the tributes joined small groups for protection in the Arena. Although many of these alliances broke up or changed during the Games, these were the official alliances at the start of the Games:

* Decimus, Camus, Scarlett, Marcus, Tierra, and Corinna
* Soren, Daphne, Luna, Mac, and Florence
* Harley and Larkin
* Daisy and Ruth

James (D3), Iris (D3), Simon (D5), Gear (D6), Isaac (D8), Rochelle (D8), Daniel (D9), Mallory (D9), and Wolfgang (D11) were not included in any known alliances.

## Legacy

This Games was remembered for many reasons; not only was it a Quarter Quell, but it was the second time that the tributes consisted of only Victors; additionally, it was announced prior to the 150th Games that they would be the final Hunger Games. These Games were the last to be overseen by President Tantalus Snow.
