Wow! This is quite the explosive start to our 75th 1st Annual Hybrid: Hunger Games! All tributes are really giving it their all this game! The bloodbath in particular was so crazy intense! It was so intense in fact, that we've decided to do it again!!! Just like last round, we will once again be having the lowest scoring District this round be instantly put into the Eliminator! This will function the same as last challenge with the same rules and contingencies in case of Districts who don't submit. If this is unclear, please contact a Gamemaker.The arena can be a daunting place. Possibly a scorching hot desert, or a temperate jungle filled with wild beats, or even a vast ocean where no one knows what lurks underneath the waters. No matter what arena the contestants are presented with, there is a learning curve to figuring out how the arena functions and the various elements that can come into play. Some might even call it, a giant puzzle. This challenge will take the efforts of both players in your team. Prior to doing the challenge you will designate one person as the puzzle solver (harder mode) and one person as the puzzle solver (easier mode) in your District Board. Each of you will then independently solve a series of puzzles with the hopes of finishing fast.Rules: 1. Neither of you can converse with your teammate about the challenge once either of you have started it until after challenge results are announced. Do not discuss the challenge with other Districts. 2. Your selection of who does which set of puzzles must be clearly identified prior to the challenge start. Once your selection is made, a mod will provide each tribute with a Google form to use to start the challenge. 3. You will have 2 hours to solve as many of the puzzles you are given as possible. 4. At the end, the number of puzzles you both solved will be compared to the other teams. The team with the highest number of solved puzzles will win immunity. 5. If there is a tie, we will look at the time the last puzzle is submitted for each person and total those times up; whichever team solved the number of puzzles they completed fastest will win the tie. 6. All submissions must be made in your confessional, involving a screenshot with a tab of this game in the background. 7. You can post all answers at once, or one at a time, whichever you prefer for strategy. 8. We recommend making a thread in your confessional for this challenge.
9. If you find that one of your submissions is incorrect, you may resubmit so long as you have time on the clock, and the resubmissions MUST be made in a new post. DO NOT EDIT AN OLD POST PLEASE. 10. No outside sources may be used once the puzzle begins.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact a moderator. May the odds be ever in your favor! |

As we've gotten this question a couple times now, this is not a challenge you do together. All you have to do is designate which tribute is doing which series of puzzles (harder mode/easier mode) in your districts. Once that is made, we will post the link in your confessional to complete on your own time independently of your partner. That being said, once we have posted this in your confessional and you start it, you may no longer discuss the challenge with you partner and vice versa.
If you have any questions about this or this does not make sense let us know, but the rules should coo-berate this.
Let us know if you have other questions <3

Wow tributes, all of you have really taken the time to really understand the puzzling nature of this arena! We are thoroughly impressed, though some of you impressed us more than others. One team in particular rose to the occasion and dazzled the Capitol Spectators.
The solutions were as follows: Cryptogram Easier Mode Instruction: "The 2nd to last word is 'Enemy'." Clouds Easier Mode Instruction: "A couple have already been filled in for you." (The two leftmost clouds were provided). Easy as ABC Easier Mode Instruction: "Some of the letters have already been filled in for you." (Those highlighted in red) Dots Easier Mode Instruction: "Some of the dots have already been filled in for you." (Those highlighted in red) Sudoku Easier Mode Instruction: "post the solution for the red, blue and green squares. You don't actually have to do the entire sudoku, just figure out which numbers go in which squares." With a score of 9/10 and a combined time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 56 seconds to achieve this score, Congratulations District 4 you understand this arena better than anyone else. The rest of you scored as follows:
District 3 Score: 9/10 Total time: 2 hours, 33 minutes, and 41 seconds
District 8 Score: 9/10 Total time: 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 27 seconds
District 7 Score: 8/10 Total time: 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 37 seconds
District 12 Score: 8/10 Total time: 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 26 seconds
District 1 Score: 7/10 Total time: 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 48 seconds
District 9 Score: 6/10 Total time: 2 hours, 32 minutes, and 5 seconds
Unfortunately, due to the rules of our twist2.0 round, the lowest scoring District 10 with a score of 5/10 and a time of 2 hours, 33 minutes, and 4 seconds will automatically participate in the next Eliminator round. 2 other Districts will join them, who will they be? District 4 please submit your vote list. All other Districts, including District 10, please submit your Primary & Secondary Votes in your District threads. The new deadline is Friday at 6pm PDT. In addition, I will let you all know how you did individually in your confessionals while you all work on your votes <3Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor! |
