An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.
In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

This is a social game popularized by TikTok with two versions:
Version 1 (Original):
1. In a small group, one player closes their eyes.
2. Using hand gestures, everyone else settles on a number between 1 to 10, representing the secret rating.
3. The player with their eyes closed opens their eyes and gives each player a category.
4. Players provide an answer from the category that represents the secret rating.
5. The player with their eyes closed tries to guess the secret rating.
Version 2:
1. In a small group or with at least 2 people, one person thinks of a number between 1 to 10.
2. Without saying the number out loud. Everyone else takes turns giving the rating holder a category.
3. The number holder provides an answer that closely matches the secret rating.
4. Players get ready to guess the secret rating based on the answers provided.
5. The winners are those who guess the number correctly.
Version 2 is often more fun as everyone gets involved in guessing the number. Version 1 can be more passive with a less exciting end.

Get the Mini games kidmug. 1. An annual, no-holds-barred gathering of retired (and a few still-standing) Police legends—plus one honorary hydro guy—held at a cottage in Gananoque. Defined by excessive drinking, unapologetically repeated war stories, relentless chirping, and euchre games that should come with a warning label.
2. A sacred weekend of floating on pontoons, forgetting the rules, making up new ones, and calling out whoever passed out first. Celebrated continuously for over three decades—this isn’t a party, it’s an institution.
> "He survived 30 years on the job but folded first round of the Gan Games—rookie move."
Origin: Named after Gananoque, the laid-back battleground of choice. “Games” refers to the unspoken contests of tolerance, wit, and who gets roasted hardest before noon.
