Welcome to Bookstacked’s Hunger Games: YA Book Edition!
In celebration of the final Hunger Games movie, we’re plucking your favorite YA book characters out from the comfort of their books and placing them in an arena to fight for their freedom and lives! (Mwahahahaha!)
We’re kicking the games off with 24 tributes, each coming from four of the most popular YA Book franchises: Harry Potter, Divergent, Maze Runner, and The Mortal Instruments.
How it works: You can play by voting for your favorite YA Book characters! In doing so, you become their “sponsor,” making it much more likely that they’ll make it to the end of the games! The characters with the least amount of sponsors more than likely won’t make it very far. Some times, characters will encounter each other in the arena. In these Flash Fight cases, you’ll be able to vote between these two characters, essentially choosing which among the two will live and die. A new round will open each day with the winner being announced this Saturday (November 21). You’ll need to have a Twitter account to participate. We recommend following @Bookstacked to keep up with the games!
Get the latest updates on the games below:
May the odds be ever in their favor!
