Millionaires to build real-life Battle Royale arena for Hunger Games-style game

In the Hunger Games series, competitors are forced to enter an arena and fight in a last person standing-style contest.

Now, millionaires want to make that a reality - albeit without killing competitors.

HushHush.com, a luxury online marketplace, has posted an advert for a designer to help develop a real-life Battle Royale arena.

An unnamed customer approached HushHush.com, with the idea of building the arena on a private island.

The advert states: “We’re looking for someone who can help design the arena for a 100-person battle royale inspired event.

“With a £1,500 day rate and an expected six-week project duration, we’re expecting the competition to be fierce for the £45,000 contract!”

During the three-day contest, competitors will be provided with Airsoft guns, ammo and touch-sensitive body armour, and will camp overnight, following a gruelling 12 hours of competition each day.

The ‘last person standing’ will win a £100,000 jackpot.

Aaron Harpin, HushHush.com founder, said: “Battle royale games have become incredibly popular over the last few years ago and our customer is a huge fan who wants to make the game a reality in the safest way possible.

"If the championship is a success this year, it’s something he wants to make an annual event moving forward, which is very exciting!”

“If you’re a fan of last-person-standing movies and games, it’ll be a great opportunity to have a once in a lifetime experience and earn a significant amount of money.

"However, to get there, our concierge team needs some help to make it a reality. The first thing we need is a talented gamemaker to help us make the event as realistic as possible.”
