* Tributes train in the Courtyard, an outdoor facility with various training areas including rock climbing, ropes course, archery, axe and spear range, and war games courses.
* All meals are served in the respective levels of the Tower of Tributes, departing from the previous tradition of tributes eating together.
* Mentor sessions and private training sessions take place in the Rec, an indoor facility with an observation deck.
* Tributes form alliances during training, leading to notable alliances:
	+ Career Pack: 10 tributes, including all 8 from Districts 1 and 2, and the two male tributes from District 4.
	+ Largest All-Female Alliance: Formed by the District 4 females, and tributes from Districts 10 and 11.
	+ District 12 Alliance: Both female tributes from District 12 ally together.
	+ District 7 Alliance: All four tributes from District 7 form an alliance.

### July 17th, 50 ATT - Interviews and Tribute Parade

	+ These interviews are the longest ever. All 48 tributes are interviewed one-by-one. These were unpopular interviews as they got long and boring nearly half-way through.

## The Games

### July 18th, 50 ATT - The 50th Hunger Games Begin

The arena was described as "the most breathtaking place imaginable." The Cornucopia sat in the middle of a sweet-smelling green meadow, and the sky was azure blue with fluffy, billowing white clouds. The meadow stretched for miles, and far in the distance there were woods on one side, and a snowcapped mountain on the other, which was later revealed to be a deadly volcano.

Everything in the arena was lethally poisonous, including the plants growing in the arena, the water in the stream, the butterfly stings, and even the scent of the flowers when inhaled too directly. The only sources of safe food and drink in the arena were the rainwater and the food from the Cornucopia. Muttations included fluffy, golden, carnivorous squirrels, poisonous stinging butterflies, and candy pink birds with long, thin beaks.

### Day 4

On the fourth day, the snow capped mountain turned out to be a volcano. The top burst off, causing an avalanche. A volcanic eruption followed, releasing fast-flowing lava. The event killed another ten tributes, including five Careers. The lava flows made half the arena inaccessible, driving the ten remaining tributes into the woods.

* Cobalt Thornton (District 1): Cobalt and his fellow tributes from District 1 and District 2 were in the woods, unaware of the volcanic threat. As the eruption began, an avalanche cascaded down from the snowcapped mountain, burying Cobalt under a mass of snow and rocks, ultimately causing fatal injuries.
* Orion Hemmica (District 1): Orion was caught in the avalanche alongside Cobalt, unable to escape the force of nature. He succumbed to his injuries under the debris.
* Ruth Silverton (District 1): Ruth was also trapped in the avalanche, crushed by the weight of the snow and rocks, leading to her demise.
* Principia Keaton (District 2): Principia, too, found herself in the path of the avalanche. Despite her attempts to flee, she was swept away and buried, losing her life beneath the snow and rubble.
* Nova Adams (District 3): Nova, positioned near the base of the mountain, was overrun by the fast-flowing lava as it rushed down the slopes following the avalanche. She perished in the intense heat and flames.
* Kai Morgan (District 4): Kai, who was exploring the base of the mountain, was engulfed by the lava flows, succumbing to the extreme temperatures and burning molten rock.
* Diesel Turner (District 6): Diesel, caught near the woods, faced a similar fate as the lava rapidly advanced. He was unable to outrun the flow, leading to his tragic demise.
* Denali Pinecrest (District 7): Denali, attempting to escape the lava, was crushed by falling debris from the eruption. The impact proved fatal, ending his life on the spot.
* Fawn Lennox (District 10): Fawn, along with Roselle Trapa from District 11, was attempting to reach higher ground to evade the lava. Unfortunately, she lost her footing and fell into a crevice, meeting her end.
* Roselle Trapa (District 11): Roselle, like Fawn, was trying to escape the advancing lava. She stumbled and fell into a deep crevice, where she succumbed to her injuries.
* Maysilee Donner (District 12): Maysilee, caught in the chaos of the eruption, was struck by a falling tree dislodged by the avalanche. The impact proved fatal, leading to her tragic demise.

### Day 5

By day 5, the remaining 10 tributes are trapped in the forest by the surrounding lava.

* Haymitch Abernathy (District 12): Haymitch is discovered by the Career pack while he is eating a deer he had killed. He is killed by Valkyrie Amos (District 2).
* Hash Johnson (District 9): Hash, injured during the volcanic eruption on Day 4, succumbs to his wounds and passes away.
* Everest Ravenstill (District 2): The Career pack, including Celestia Diaz (District 1), Everest, Valkyrie Amos (District 2), and Messiah Trite (District 4), is attacked by the candy-pink bird muttations. Celestia uses a bow and arrow to down several of the mutts. However, Everest is separated from the group and pecked apart alive by the mutts.

### Day 6

* Valkyrie Amos (District 2): Severely burned from the previous day's volcanic eruption, Nautica Piper (District 4) manages to ambush Celestia Diaz (District 1) and Valkyrie, and Messiah Trite (District 4) killing Valkyrie with the wooden shank.
* Nautica Piper (District 4): However, before Nautica can do any further harm, she is killed by Messiah Trite (District 4), who stabs her through the chest with his trident.

### Day 7

Evening of Day 7:

* Lorraine Arco (District 6): Lorraine successfully fights off bird muttations using fire, displaying her resourcefulness and bravery. However, despite her victory, she is killed by Celestia Diaz (District 1) with her bow in a surprising and ruthless act, reducing the number of tributes to four.

### Day 8

* Messiah Trite (District 4): Chloris Plume (District 7) successfully traps Messiah using a net dipped in poison from deadly plants. Messiah writhes in agony, the poison coursing through his veins. Witnessing his suffering, Celestia Diaz (District 1) decides to end his pain and shoots him with her final arrow, delivering a swift and merciful death.
* Celestia Diaz (District 1): After the events with Messiah, Celestia returns to the cornucopia, wanting to retrieve a different weapon. She finds Chrlois and the two engage in a fight. Celestia emerges victorious, strangling Chloris Plume to death. Celestia ends the day by consuming food from the cornucopia, taking a moment to replenish her strength for the challenges ahead.
* Chloris Plume (District 7): After successfully trapping Messiah, Chloris engages in a deadly fight with Celestia. Despite her efforts, Celestia overpowers Chloris and strangles her with her own hands, ending her life.
* Emil Durian (District 12): Emil remains hidden in the trees near the cornucopia, observing the events unfold but not actively participating.

### Night 8 / Day 9

Throughout the night, Celestia Diaz (District 1) camps near the cornucopia, replenishing her strength with the available rations. In the darkness, unseen by the others, Emil Durian (District 12) carefully keeps track of the tributes whose faces appear in the sky, marking his tally on the tree where he has been hiding. The marks climb to 44, and with the deaths of Messiah and Chloris, he adds two more to his tally.

In the early light of the next morning, Emil, driven by his desire to survive, launches his ambush on Celestia. With surprising agility, he leaps down from his tree, attempting to land on top of her. However, his initial attack misses its mark, and the struggle that ensues is fierce and desperate.

Despite lacking refined combat skills, Emil draws upon his street smarts and employs a trick he learned. Waiting for the perfect moment, he seizes an opportunity and overpowers Celestia. In a gruesome battle, he manages to stab her in the eye and throat, ending her life in a brutal confrontation.

Victorious but not unscathed, Emil bears the wounds from Celestia's axe, bleeding profusely from his stomach and left leg. Yet, he emerges as the sole survivor and Victor of the Second Quarter Quell.
