Location from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Quarter Quell arena — a tropical island that IS a clock, each wedge triggering a different horror on the hour: blood rain, poisonous fog, lightning strikes, jabber jays screaming in the voices of loved ones, and monkey muttations in the trees.
Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee designed the Quarter Quell arena as a clock — and as a trap within a trap. The official purpose: kill twenty-four previous victors in the most spectacular Games ever staged, punishing the districts by forcing them to watch their heroes die. The secret purpose: create the conditions for Katniss's extraction by the rebel network. Each hour activates a different sector's horror. Blood rain that coats everything and won't wash off. Acidic fog that blisters skin on contact. Lightning that strikes the same tree at exactly midnight and noon. Jabber jays that replay the tortured screams of tributes' loved ones. Monkey muttations that swarm from the canopy. The arena was a masterpiece of sadism that Beetee turned into a weapon — wiring the lightning tree to the force field's frequency and short-circuiting the entire arena. The sky shattered. The hovercraft came. And the Second Rebellion began.
A lush tropical island with a saltwater lake at the center, the golden Cornucopia on a rocky island reachable by narrow sand spokes. Twelve wedge-shaped jungle sectors radiate outward like clock segments. The canopy is thick, the humidity suffocating. A massive lightning tree dominates one sector.
