Q&A for How to Play the Hunger Games Outdoor Game

You could make rule that if a fake day or two passes and that player has had no food or water for that time then they are dead.

For the feast, get the announcer / game-maker to gather some of the spare / unused supplies or supplies from dead tributes, then have that person place them at mid or where ever the feast will take place, then they announce that location and the feast to the other people that are still alive via the walkie-talkies / texting.

When your fake "first to third day" has passed, it means any player who hasn't consumed their rations is considered dead.

Of course, you can. But there's a rule: you can't participate in the game besides sponsoring players.

Based upon the rules of the game, no. However, it is your game, so you may adjust the rules as you desire.

You may make your own armor or purchase it online from a source like Amazon.com.

It's appropriate for them if they know about Hunger Games and understand what they are in for. You can also adjust the game to make it less violent, if needed, for different age groups.

I think that you could play it anywhere because in the books there are many different types of environments. A long as you have some trees, you'll be fine.

Tell them that if they are going to be like that and break the rules, you cannot play with them.

It would be alerted by texting or walkie talkie. The announcer would text or call everyone on the chosen device and then you would know.

Have the tributes wear black pants and dark tops and make mockingjay pins using wikiHow's mockingjay pin tutorial for them to wear.

Ask your neighbors, or get your parents to take you to a large place, such as a sports field or track with bushes/trees.

You could train your dogs to play, or use stuffed animals as a replacement. You could also just leave them out entirely and the game would still be fun.

That would just be a duel, or sparring with toy weapons. Or, you could do a thing where you both can hunt each other by taking a certain amount of time to hide in some woods and then hunt and "kill" each other.

Yes, you can, as long as the playground isn't being used by anyone else at the time. If it is being used by others, you could invite them to play with you.

You are still dead because if this was real and you died then you can't just come back to life.

Of course! You can put anything you want as long as it doesn't make the game too easy.

Get a professional or mobile recording device and have someone be the camera man. You can use iMovie to edit, and, when you're finished, there's an "Upload to YouTube" button.

It can be, but it is best if you have a minimum of 6 players, otherwise the Games will only be about 10 minutes long. If you have a large enough area with lots of places to hide, the game could potentially last longer with only a few players.

It depends on your budget. If you want cheap, try cardboard boxes stacked. If you have some excess cash (a few hundred dollars!), you can rent blow-up mazes from companies.

You can, but it will be pretty short and possibly boring. You really need at least 3-4 people for this game to work properly.

It would not be safe to do this during hunting season and could result in injury or death. Best to wait until hunting season is over.

You could also play with your family members and neighbors if you don't have enough friends for the game. As a last resort, you could also just play the game by yourself and imagine that there are other people too.

Remind them that everyone is there to have fun, and tell them if they can't play nice and accept a loss, they won't be allowed to play anymore.

If you have any siblings, you can play with them. Otherwise, you can actually play by yourself. You will need a vivid imagination, and it might not be AS fun, but you can take a pack then find a place for a base and go "hunting". If you get food and do not die of starvation and do not get killed by other tributes (imaginary), then you win!

You can use cardboard or foam. Cut the shape you need, and paint and color it.

There is no way to force your friends to play. Maybe you could find new friends who do want to play.

It does not have to be thrown on a big budget, or any budget at all. for food, you could just use leftover snacks you do not want to use. You can always make swords and knives out of tools like cardboard and, if you worry about backpacks, you can just use paper bags from a store. You don't even have to use any money.

Then they obviously aren't mature enough to play a simple game like this. If somebody dies, then they should just be cool about it and accept death.

You could ask around or go to a public park. Or, to increase the challenges in the game, try playing in your home. Alternatively, you could set up boundaries around your yard and play within the yard and home.
