This is the big weekend  for Hunger Games fans as the second installment in the trilogy is officially slated to land in theaters. Like most fans, you probably just got done watching the first movie in preparation for part two, so why not keep the momentum going with a trilogy of apps that’ll have you running through the districts and firing arrows in all directions.

To keep you super psyched for the film, here are three games with the official Hunger Games branding. That means there are lots of content from both the books and the movies. There’s also a chat app so you can connect with other Hunger Games fans. Hopefully, this will help bide the time while you wait in line for your tickets and for the show.
