50th Hunger Games

The 50th Hunger Games were the year of the second Quarter Quell. In honor of this anniversary, twice the number of regular tributes were sent into the arena, giving a total of 48 tributes. The Games were won by District 12's Haymitch Abernathy, who went on to mentor Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in the 74th and 75th Games.

Arena
The arena was "the most breathtaking place imaginable". The Cornucopia sat in the middle of a sweet-smelling green meadow, and the sky was azure blue, with fluffy white clouds. The meadow stretches for miles, and far in the distance there are woods on one side, and a snowcapped mountain on the other, which later turns out to be a volcano that wiped out most of the Career pack. Everything in the arena is lethally poisonous, including the food growing in the arena, the water in the stream, the butterfly stings, and even the scent of the flowers when inhaled too directly. The only sources of food and water in the arena that aren't poisoned are the rainwater and the food from the Cornucopia. At the very end of the arena there is a cliff, at the bottom of which is a force field which victor Haymitch Abernathy uses to help to kill his final opponent.

The Games
The Games started off with a bloodbath at the Cornucopia, as usual, which killed 18 of the 48 tributes in the Games. Gamemaker traps for these Games included poisonous food, water, and plants, and a volcano disguised as a mountain, which killed most of the Career Tributes pack. The last five tributes left in the arena were Maysilee Donner (12), Haymitch Abernathy (12), one of the female tributes from District 1, and two unknown tributes, one of whom was killed by fluffy golden squirrels. The victor of these games, Haymitch Abernathy, defeated his last opponent, the female tribute of District 1, when she threw an ax at him and he ducked, causing the ax to rebound off the force field at the edge of the arena, killing her and leaving Haymitch as Victor.
