<P> In the third Quell (year 75), portrayed in Catching Fire, the rule change requires the tributes to be chosen from the surviving victors, as a reminder that not even the strongest can hope to defy the Capitol . At this time, 59 victors are still alive, including the only living female victor from District 12, Katniss Everdeen . In the book, Katniss suspects President Snow actually made up the rule for this Quell, which conveniently serves the purpose of his vendetta against her . In the film, it is implied that Snow makes the rule under counsel of his new Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee, in order to exterminate the living victors . This Quell has no winner, and is the last Hunger Game . Katniss destroys the force field surrounding the arena, and becomes one of six survivors . Heavensbee is revealed as the leader of an underground Capitol rebel group, working for Alma Coin, who presides over District 13 and uses the collapse of the Quell to launch a second civil war . </P> <P> The location of the arena varies from year to year . Past arenas have included volcanoes, avalanche zones, and dams; the terrain has included woods, meadows, scrubland, deserts, and frozen tundra . One of the previous Games took place in the ruins of an abandoned city . Upon the conclusion of the Games, the arena is preserved as a tourist attraction for Capitol citizens . </P> <P> The arena for the 74th Hunger Games is a largely forested area with a central meadow where the Cornucopia is located, a lake, and a wheat field . Katniss notes that it resembles the forests of District 12, which gives her a slight advantage in navigating and surviving in the game . </P> <P> The arenas devised for the Quarter Quells appear to be especially spectacular . The second Quarter Quell took place in a beautiful meadow with flowers and a fruit - bearing forest and mountains . However, everything was designed by the Gamemakers to be either dangerous or poisonous, including all of the food and water, as well as the wildlife and vegetation . In the third Quarter Quell, the Cornucopia was placed on an island in a saltwater lake, with the surrounding shore divided into 12 segments that resembled a clock, with every hour featuring its own deadly attack, limited only to that slice of the arena during that time of day . The only area where there was no attack was the Cornucopia and the saltwater lake . This proved to be an important location for Katniss' allies . </P>
