75th Hunger Games arena

The 75th Hunger Gamesarena was circular in shape and divided into 12 sections, each section representing an hour on a clock, then a small circular-shaped sea, and at the final bordering circle was a jungle.

This arena was very small, and its circular shape tips Wiress off to the set-up of the clock mechanism. A powerful forcefield surrounded the arena like a dome.

Mechanics

The 75th Hunger Games arena was set up as a clock, each wedge holding a different threat. The 12 to 1 wedge consisted of the tree that would periodically be struck by lightning during the 12th hour, which proved to be a very important factor later on. The other sections of the 'clock' were made up of different horrors that would be unleashed byable to reunite with her alliance. The alliance cannot tell where each wedge is after this occurs.

Food and water sources

As mentioned previously, food or water wasn't obtainable in the Cornucopia bloodbath. However, the trees growing in the arena were full of water and was the only water which could be consumed safely, as the water surrounding the cornucopia was saltwater. The water in the tree had to be extracted by a spile, or by stabbing the bark.

As for food sources, there were various creatures roaming around the arena; Katniss shoots a creature similar to a rat, giving its species the name "tree-rat". She realizes that its muzzle is wet, and that it has to have a source of freshwater. This
