In the whimsical world of “The Starving Games,” we follow the journey of Kantmiss Evershot, a skilled archer who practices her craft in the serene forest. However, her peaceful day takes a turn when her boyfriend, Dale, surprises her, leading to an accidental mishap where her arrow strikes none other than The Wizard of Oz. This comical incident sets the stage for a series of outrageous events as they return to District 12.
Upon their return, Kantmiss witnesses the grim reality faced by the children of District 12. In a desperate attempt to avoid being selected for the Games, they resort to self-harm, fearing the horrors that await them. The atmosphere is tense as Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermione are forcibly removed from the district, adding to the chaos.
Kantmiss, determined to protect her younger sister, Petunia, gifts her a golden pin adorned with a “courageous bird.” This token is meant to keep Petunia safe, but in a twist of fate, the pin turns out to be a chicken. In a bizarre turn of events, Petunia injures herself with the pin and crashes into a house, showcasing the absurdity of their situation.
As the story unfolds, we find ourselves at the Gathering for the 75th Annual Starving Games. President Snowballs takes the stage, explaining his rationale for dividing America into districts while listing ludicrous prizes for the winners, including a half-eaten pickle. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and disbelief as the audience reacts to his absurdity.
During the drawing for District 12’s contestants, the hostess hilariously draws gag names like “Hugh Janus,” “Phil Mahooters,” and “Dean Gulberry,” but the tension rises when Petunia’s name is drawn. In a clever manipulation, she feigns tears to coerce Kantmiss into volunteering, threatening to eat Kantmiss’ pet hamster if she doesn’t return. Dale attempts to volunteer as well, but the town’s fool, Peter Malarkey, beats him to it, adding to the comedic chaos.
Kantmiss and Peter are whisked away to the Capitol, where they participate in a televised interview before a live audience. Kantmiss steals the show with a dress that unexpectedly catches fire during her spin, leading to a hilarious yet painful moment. Meanwhile, Peter reveals his crush on Marco, a fellow contestant, adding a layer of romantic tension to the story.
As the Games commence, Kantmiss seizes a backpack but must engage in a fierce battle with another contestant. After a series of absurd and fatal encounters, including being struck by knives and a weed whacker, the remaining contestant relinquishes the backpack before meeting their demise. Kantmiss attempts to flee, but the Games’ producer, Seleca, sends Angry Birds to attack her, leading to a comical showdown where she defeats them and squashes the Annoying Orange in a parody of Fruit Ninja.
Peter forms an alliance with a group led by Marco, who are determined to eliminate Kantmiss. In a series of slapstick moments, Kantmiss struggles to climb a tree, only to discover a ladder. Marco’s attempts to kill her backfire, resulting in the accidental death of one of his allies. The absurdity continues as Kantmiss finds herself covered in bird droppings after trying to communicate with the birds.
In a twist of fate, Kantmiss and fellow contestant Rudy team up, vowing to take down the remaining contestants. However, their plans are overheard by Marco and his group, leading to a chaotic chase. Kantmiss finds herself cornered but manages to dispatch everyone except Marco, who pulls a knife on her. Just as the tension peaks, a referee intervenes, and the halftime show begins, adding to the absurdity of the situation.
