    Didn't know crosswords could have such misleading hints. Couldn't solve but had a laugh

      That was yet another fun one of yours! Keep 'em coming 😁

            Arena is only one area of the Hunger Games. Better answer for setting is Panem, as that is the setting and applies to all the settings.

              Thanks for your comment! 6A is indeed one of the clues that I had deliberately phrased in such a way that there were basically two very plausible options, the other being 7A. Since I had already chosen the "more difficult option" for 7A , I decided to take the option that was probably easier than the other one for 6A - also to keep the puzzle a bit more accessible to people who do not know the movie in detail, but do know the general story. So although both answers are valid, "Panem" is indeed more specific and narratively accurate. My apologies if you found the puzzle less enjoyable as a result.

                I enjoyed it! I’m just more literal than most being on the spectrum. ;)

              6A and 7A both threw me for such a loop! I was so confident in my totally incorrect five-letter fills. Great puzzle!

                Thank you Amandel. 1D was an interesting clue that when I thought about it was totally obvious. :-)

                  Some devious clueing. I was sure I had an error. 6a broke it open for me.
