She and the male tribute, Peeta Mellark, are escorted to the Capitol by chaperone Effie Trinket and their mentor Haymitch Abernathy, a past District 1. Haymitch impresses on them the importance of gaining sponsors, as they can provide gifts of food and supplies during the Games. During part of a series of televised interviews, Peeta publicly expresses his love for Katniss, which she initially takes as an attempt to earn sponsors for himself but later learns that it could help her. While training, Katniss observes the Careers: Marvel, Glimmer, Cato, and Clove, tributes from Districts 1 and 2 who have been training for the Games from a young age. At the start of the Games, Katniss ignores Haymitch's advice and grabs supplies from the ground around the Cornucopia, a place filled with food, weapons and other supplies where the contestants start, and narrowly escapes being killed by Clove; about a quarter of the tributes are killed in the initial melee, and only eleven survive the first day. Katniss tries to stay as far away from the other competitors as possible, but Head Gamemaker Seneca Crane triggers a forest fire to drive her back towards the others. She runs into the Careers, with whom Peeta has seemingly allied, and flees up a tree. The Career pack fails to kill her and Peeta advises them to wait for her to come down. She notices Rue, District 1. Rue silently draws her attention to a nest of poisonous tracker jackers, genetically modified wasps that can cause hallucinations and death.

After Katniss succeeds, Cato angrily kills a boy from District 3 who was supposed to be watching the supplies. Marvel finds them and kills Rue with a spear, and Katniss shoots him in the heart with an arrow, killing him.

When this change is announced, Katniss searches for Peeta, finding him wounded after fleeing from the Careers. He tells her Cato found out that he was intending to return to Katniss, leading him to stab Peeta with a sword. After she moves him to safety, they hear an announcement that what each survivor needs the most will be provided at the Cornucopia. Despite Peeta's strong opposition, Katniss leaves to get medicine for him. Clove attacks and pins her down; she then boasts about her part in Rue's death. Katniss is saved when Thresh, District 1. Clove. He spares Katniss's life — once — for Rue's sake. The medicine heals Peeta. The two devise a plan to leave fatal Nightlock berries out for Cato so they can kill him, but Peeta disappears and Katniss is horrified to find the berries on his jacket. Peeta is found fine, and they discover District 5's female tribute whom Katniss had dubbed "Foxface" (due to her appearance and agile nature which allowed her to escape the wrath of the Careers) dead after consuming the fruit. For the finale of the Games, Crane has wild beasts unleashed into the arena which attack and kill Thresh.
