Where to start with The Hunger Games

Four films telling one story, and prequels set decades earlier that were made much later. Release order is the right order: the prequels are about a character you have already met, and knowing who he becomes is most of what makes them work.

  1. 1
    The Hunger Games (2012) The Hunger Games

    Sets up the world and the rules in its first half hour and needs nothing before it. If the premise does not grip you here, the sequels do not change it.

  2. 2
    Catching Fire (2013) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    Widely held to be the best of them, and the point where the series stops being about a competition and starts being about a country. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next one ready.

  3. 3
    The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    Set sixty-four years earlier and following a young Coriolanus Snow. Watch it after the original four, when you already know precisely what he turns into: that irony is the whole point of it.

Then what? Mockingjay is one story split across two films and they are best watched close together. Sunrise on the Reaping is the second prequel, set twenty-four years before the first film, and is due in November 2026. It is listed here but not counted until it arrives.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
