75th Hunger Games

The 75th Hunger Games was the third Quarter Quell. This Games was held in an arena known as "The Clockface of Doom", which is one of the smallest arenas in the history of the games. The quell lasted for 3 days, and featured threats every hour which stayed only within their wedge. The threats were, in order: a lightning strike at 12, blood rain at 1, poisonous fog at 2, violent baboons at 3, mocking jabberjays at 4, a deadly freeze at 5, a monster mutt at 6, a paralyzing gas leak at 7, bothersome mosquitos at 8, ferocious lions at 9, a sudden tsunami at 10, and sneaky crabs at 11. Due to the rebel forces abducting three tributes from the arena and the Capitol rescuing the remaining three tributes, this year's Games ended prematurely and therefore had no Victor.

Quell Rules
The conditions for this Quarter Quell were that the male and female tributes for each district are to be reaped from their existing pool of victors. This was to remind the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol. The victors were to present themselves on reaping day regardless of age, status, or situation.

During the reapings, the surviving victors for each district presented themselves on the stage, with males on one side and females on the other. Volunteers were still permitted. The reapings started in District 12 and worked through the numbers to finish in District 1.
