It would require extensive modding, but a 2 player puzzle where both players are required to help one another to advance, but where the obvious final solution requires one player to turn against the other would be very interesting, and the broken chambers of Portal 2 would server the HG “used future” aesthetic well. It would be even more lovely if a second final solution existed that involved both players helping each other to win, but it was not an obvious solution. Would players minimize risk to themselves are take the selfish win, or risk more in trusting an opponent?

The lable “hunger games” is applyable in so many contexts. The question is; how will we be any different?
