Hall 3 Freshmen Orientation Programme

The year is 2300. Our world is now home to 5 distinct tribes and each tribe is responsible for an aspect required for the society to function:

• Akari - Medical
• Bankai - Agriculture
• Chakra - Water
• Doku - Technology
• Enji - Military

The tribes are always suspicious of each other as they are concerned that resources are not shared equally amongst citizens. The tribes are at the brink of war as resources have become scarce and each tribe wants to lay claim and colonise every sector to ensure equal distribution.

One stormy night cuts out the power to the entire city and the tribe leaders are suddenly awoken by the roaring thunder, to realise that all citizens are unconscious. The leaders blame each other for the blackout, suspecting it as a ruse for one tribe to take over the entire city. Terrified, the leaders search the city to find the cause, only to discover a giant eerie announcement illuminating the sky. The night sky was peppered with spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds with the words “The games are about to begin.”.

A giant portal appears in front of them through which they enter to an arena in Hall 3. The leaders are greeted with the following instructions.

“Play the games across these next few days to earn sufficient points for your visa. Failure to accumulate enough points after day 1 results in extermination. The highest scoring tribe earns the golden visa, including the antidote to save your people. Tribes failing to earn the golden visa leave their people in an eternal rest.”

The tribes became excited as this is exactly what they had hoped for. They had been presented with an opportunity to take over every resource in a painless way and protect their own people at the same time. But is that really it?
