Anything goes in Russia’s real-life version of The Hunger Games

A Russian TV network has launched a real-life version of The Hunger Games where producers say anything goes, including rape and murder.

BBC news reported that the 20 contestants in the Game 2: Winter will have to survive nine months in Siberia for 100 million roubles.

Contestants can reportedly carry knives but aren’t allowed guns. Producers told the network that though anything goes, including rape and murder, but that contestants will still be subjected to the rule of law. Each participant will have to sign a liability in case of injury or death. However, if they do get in to trouble and want to leave the show, they can press a panic button on their satellite phones and be rescued.

Participants will be given survival training and be allowed to carry 100kg of equipment. Fans will also be allowed to donate gifts, just like in The Hunger Games movies.

To enter participants will have to pay 10 million roubles or be voted in by viewers.
