The girl on fire
The Hunger Games gripped a generation, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding heroine KATNISS, fellow tribute PEETA, her friend GALE, the drunken MENTOR HAYMITCH, and the flamboyant ESCORT EFFIE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the ARENA, no two Hunger Games word searches are the same. One round a backwards MOCKINGJAY hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ARROW flies across the middle.
Panem, the Capitol and the Games
The world of the story is all here. Track down the nation of PANEM, the glittering CAPITOL, the poor DISTRICT 12, and President SNOW. There's the dreaded REAPING, the brave VOLUNTEER, the SPONSOR system, and the deadly CORNUCOPIA at the centre of the ARENA — plus little PRIM, RUE, stylist CINNA, and Katniss's BOW.
From TRIBUTE to victor, this puzzle is packed with everything fans love about the saga.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
Want a real challenge? Switch to Medium or Hard for a bigger grid with diagonals and reverse words. Stuck on one? Tap Hint for a nudge, or Solve to reveal the whole arena at once.
