Chariot Rides

When entering the training center, tributes were required to enter via chariot rides that would show the audience what to expect from the districts' tributes. The chariots would be decorated according to which district they belonged and the district's industry. Most of the time the audience would cheer for what they liked and do nothing for things they did not. The chariot rides were very important because it was a chance for the tributes can make an impression and gain sponsors.

For each Hunger Games, it is required that the districts enter in numerical order, starting with District 1 and finishing with District 12.

The 74th Hunger Games
For the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark made an impression by wearing black unitards, flaming capes and headbands. This was how Katniss got her nickname, "the girl who was on fire". Their chariot was pulled by black horses. The District 1 tributes, Glimmer and Marvel, had glitter sprayed all over their outfits, and were carried by white horses. However, in the film, all the chariots were pulled by horses of the same color.

The 75th Hunger Games
For the 75th Hunger Games, Finnick Odair of District 4 wore a fish net. District 7's Johanna Mason was dressed as a tree, though she removed the outfit after the chariot ride and continued wearing only slippers. The tributes of District 10 wore cow outfits with flaming belts. The District 3 tributes wore electric bulb studded outfits.
