<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 . In the "Hunger Games" movies, they briefly show one of the previous Games taking 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> <P> The Gamemakers have complete control of the arena environment and can create any hazard they wish . In The Hunger Games, they set the forest on fire and switched between day and night at will . In the 75th Hunger Games, the Gamemakers divided the arena into twelve segments, each containing a different terror which only activated at a certain hour . For example, at noon and midnight, an hour - long electrical storm would take place in the first segment . Other dangers encountered by the tributes included blood rain, carnivorous monkeys, insects, a tidal wave, a fog - like gas that caused chemical burns to the skin and nerve damage, and a section of the jungle in which tributes were trapped with jabberjays that imitated the screams of their loved ones . The center of the island could also rotate, disorienting those attempting to master the clock strategy . </P>
