Victor's Village

Location from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

A cluster of twelve pristine mansions standing empty in every district — monuments to the Games that mock the surrounding poverty, occupied only by the broken people who survived the arena.

Victor's Village is the Capitol's most insidious propaganda tool: proof that the Games can elevate you, if you're willing to kill children for it. Each district has one — twelve houses for twelve potential victors, though most districts have only a handful of living winners across seventy-five years. In District 12, only Haymitch occupied a house before Katniss and Peeta moved in. The comfort is real — heat, food, space — but the walls don't keep out the nightmares. Every victor is damaged. The Capitol ensures it, then parades them annually as proof the system works.

Appearance

Twelve grand houses with polished facades, manicured lawns, and working heat — grotesquely out of place beside the coal-dusted shacks of District 12. Most houses dark and empty. Only Haymitch's light burns, usually because he's passed out with a bottle.

Also known as: Victor's Village, the Village
