I’ve gotten many comments from some who have read the blurb to Grimm Games and mistakenly concluded it’s just The Hunger Games. False. It is indeed inspired by Hunger Games, Squid Game, Battle Royale and other “deadly games” tropes, but the only thing is has in common with these stories are the deadly games.
Kam’s goal is to save her sister and that’s where the similarities to Katniss begin and ends.
“Deadly Games” is a dystopian trope found in battle royale stories and that’s the category/trope/genre Grimm Games fall in. Forced to battle in a competition where death is an option/objective.
“Grimm” comes from the Grimm Brothers fairy tales, like Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and creatures like Big Bad Wolves, Witches, Trolls, etc. Hinting at what you’ll find in Grimm Games.
So, if you enjoy the deadly games trope and Grimm fairy tale monsters, along with Black, powerful female leads, then you will enjoy Grimm Games! ✨
