"For the 100th Quarter Quell, we are reminded that it is partially jealousy that caused the rebellion, and to commemorate that, two reapings are to be held, with no difference than a normal hunger games reaping, only one will be eight weeks before the games, and one as normal.
Four years after the 121st Hunger Games, President Rome has announced the 5th Quarter Quell and it's twist. To celebrate 125 years of Hunger Games, the government decided to make these games particularly special. Instead of Capitol citizens, the Gamemakers will be previous Victors.
These games took place in a replica of the Grand Canyons of America from the old world, where flesh eating vultures picked off and injured tributes throughout the games and a large tsunami trapped many tributes together leading to a brutal final showdown.
In the 50th Hunger Games, four tributes were chosen from each district instead of the usual two to remind the rebels that for each Capitol citizen killed, two rebels died.
What was the original Quarter Quell supposed to be?
When the laws of the Games were laid out, they dictated that every twenty-five years the anniversary would be marked by a Quarter Quell. It would call for a glorified version of the Games to make fresh the memory of those killed by the districts' rebellion. Catching Fire Every 25 years, there was...
While the Hunger Games film never talked about it, the Catching Fire novel explained why she could only communicate through hand gestures. Katniss briefly mentioned that a previous stroke could have caused Mags' garbled speech. However, post-traumatic stress disorder could have also caused her speech incapacity.
The first winner of the Hunger Games can be tricky
Esme Yule is a lumberjack from District 7 and became the victor. According to the story being told by Magnus, the games took place in a vast field. It describes Esme choking another competitor and using her axe to slaughter a boy possibly from District 9.
The second quarter quell's special stipulation was that the Capitol would reap double the amount of children, meaning Haymitch had double the amount of tributes (47) who needed to die for him to live.
He is not known to have ever married, or even been romantic with another woman after her. However, in the films he occasionally engaged in light flirtation with Effie Trinket, and the two kissed in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.
As the lone District 12 mentor for Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, it was revealed that Haymitch won the annual Hunger Games event when he was just 16 years old.
Ultimately, Dr. Gaul considered these games a disaster, presenting the Capitol as far too vulnerable. She erased all recordings of the games, keeping only a master copy in her own personal vault for her own purposes.
The 68th Hunger Games took place 6 years before the current story. The arena was a hot desert speckled with lakes. The tributes began the game on the edge of a large sand/ rock pit. The cornucopia rested at the bottom of the pit and was only reachable via one set of stairs or by sliding down the sides.
It is unknown how many Quarter Quells were planned ahead of time, but some suspect that the 75th had been changed so that Katniss Everdeen, the female tribute from District 12 who won the previous year and the district's sole living female Victor, would be forced to go back into the arena once more (this is confirmed ...
The following year after Lucy Gray Baird's victory, another female tribute emerged as the Hunger Games winner. Mags Flanagan became the first victor from District 4, living off of nuts and her survival skills by creating fishhooks. She was also the first victor to move to Victor's Village before serving as a mentor.
Thus, Snow decided they must be eliminated, and he manipulated the Quarter Quell event to send them back into the arena. In a deleted scene from the film, aptly titled "Switching Envelopes," Plutarch is shown swapping the envelopes that contain the instructions for the 75th Hunger Games, likely on Snow's orders.
This interaction was so surprising to fans because it's not in the books at all. While, throughout the series, there's some chemistry between the two, nothing ever comes of the tension in Suzanne Collins' novels. Beyond the kiss, nothing happened between the two in the movies either.
Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson): Ralph Abernathy was a leader in the Civil Rights movement, and is a fitting namesake for the revolutionary Haymitch.
The victor tributes from 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11 all had knowledge of the plan, which explains why it seemed everyone was working to protect her and Peeta.
What happened to Enobaria after the Quarter Quell?
Enobaria is presumably unharmed while in the Capitol, although she is kept in captivity. When the rebels stage a suprise attack on the Capitol, they succesfully retrieve Enobaria, Peeta, and Johanna. While in District 13, Enobaria is kept alive only because of Katniss Everdeen's wishes for a pardon.
The bottom line is that we do not know exactly what happened to Lucy Gray Baird. The movie leaves her fate ambiguous, matching the ending of her fate in the book.
Finnick became a victor almost a decade before Katniss and Peeta, in the 65th Hunger Games. Hailing from one of Panem's wealthiest districts, Finnick was a career tribute, which means that he trained from a young age to participate in the games and went into the arena out of his own volition.
After Lucy Gray wins the 10th Hunger Games, she is sent back to District 12. Meanwhile, Snow is forced to become a Peacekeeper after Dr. Gaul and Dean Highbottom learn that he cheated.
The 8th Hunger Games were won by 18 year old Isaac Doyle from District 5. These games were not very memorable as they only lasted 8 days and the winner was not very liked amongst the Capitol. This was the first year where a victor was from District 5.
