Cornucopia

The Cornucopia is a giant, golden horn, shaped like a cone with a curved tail. In each year's Hunger Games, the tributes enter the arena and start off in a circular formation, equidistant to the Cornucopia. Its mouth is at least 20 feet high, and is filled with items that could help the tributes survive in the Games, such as weapons, clothing, fire starters, supplies, containers, water, food, and medicine. At the 75th Hunger Games in Catching Fire, it is filled with only weapons. Typically, the Cornucopia is the site of a bloodbath at the beginning of each set of Games because of the bounty available. The Cornucopia was also used for shelter, like in The 74th Hunger Games, where Foxface camped out. In the final battle of The 74th Hunger Games, wolf mutts chased Katniss, Peeta, and Cato to the Cornucopia. They climbed on top of it to stay out of the mutts' reach.

In an unidentified Hunger Games, the Cornucopia was filled with only maces, with which the tributes had to bludgeon one another to death. According to photos taken on set of the movie, the Cornucopia portrayed in the film will be more modern looking, with straight edges and a grey-silver finish. Accounts on whether the Cornucopia was spray-painted gold have been varied.
