May the odds be ever in your favour

Arena: The location of the Games. Each year's Hunger Games event takes place in a newly-designed Arena in a different part of the country of Panem. Previous years' Arenas are known tourist destinations. The site of each year's new Arena is unknown to the contestants and viewers until the Games actually commence. The landscape, climate, natural resources and weapons available in each Arena setting are completely decided upon by the Gamemakers

Capitol: The central government system of the nation of Panem. It is also the name for the government's primary city, which is located near the Rocky Mountains. The Capitol rules over the 12 subsidiary districts of Panem, all of which exist to provide some raw or manufactured good or service to it.

Hovercraft: Aerial vehicles employed by the Capitol for swift transportation.

Hunger Games: An annual death-match event populated by a male and female tribute from each of Panem's 12 districts and televised live across the Capitol's nationwide television system. Tributes are selected and trained by Capitol officials and then placed into an Arena designed by the Gamemakers. One victor — the last tribute standing — emerges from each Hunger Games event and is given a life of leisure and opulence as his or her reward for survival. Viewing the event is mandatory for all citizens of Panem, and the event was created by the Treaty of Treason decades ago to serve as annual punishment for the rebellion which District 13 participated in; the Games also serve to entertain citizens of the Capitol.

Interview: During preparations for the Games, tributes are required to participate in public interviews which are conducted by Caesar Flickerman. These are meant to introduce spectators to the tributes and aid sponsors and wagerers in determining how (and upon whom) to spend their resources.

Muttation: Capitol-constructed animal monsters which have sharp claws and teeth as well as characteristics which resemble human beings, such as eyes and coloring.

Panem: The name of the post-revolutionary country which sprung up, led by the Capitol and comprised of several districts. It is located across what was once known as North America.

Quarter Quell: Every 25 years, in celebration of the anniversary of the Treaty of Treason, The Hunger Games are given special treatment and titled Quarter Quells. These are usually elevated installments of the Games. For the first Quarter Quell, districts were allowed to vote in their tributes for the year, and for the second, four tributes from each district were selected rather than the usual two.

Reaping: The name of the annual district ceremonies wherein two tributes,  a male and a female, are selected by lottery for entry into the Hunger Games. The reaping ceremonies are televised and conducted by each district's escort.

Sponsors: Persons who purchase items to be sent by miniature parachute to tributes during the Games. Sponsors can be very important to the survival of any given tribute

Tracker Jackers: Poisonous wasp-like bugs designed by the Capitol. They nest in trees and their stinger venom can cause hallucinations and even death in certain doses.

Tributes: Those children selected to fight in The Hunger Games. One boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts are chosen to serve as tributes each year.

This is set 5 years after the final HGs (or so we thought) there were NO games between the last game Katniss and Peeta were in and this game.
