#the grandest game cover

[riddles-n-games]

I was reexamining the cover again and I think the wand might actually be a blade.

If you take a second look at it, the wand doesn't look circular. The shadow looks like when you see the glint on a blade and you see that line that divides it down the middle. Also, notice I circled another area. Those branches or whatever they are that attach at the handle of the blade are connected to the chain. Remember my Savannah-Gigi theory about the chain and necklace charm tying them together? Well, if I'm right and if Grayson's tie is actually a dagger, then this could be his symbol and tied to his sisters' symbols, showing their interconnectedness.

Okay, so thank to @riddles-n-games and her to do list, I looked over the cover of TGG and found a few things.

The top clover petal. (Not sure what else to call that, sorry). Anyways, what is that thing the gears seem to be in? That semicircle thing. My first thought was a protractor like what you use in math. But I really don't think that's it.

What is that curvy metal object? It looks like a ring, but rings don't have that shape. Well, I guess some special made ones do. Would love to hear what you think.

The glass rose. We have had a glass ballerina, but never a rose. I wonder if this is a symbol for maybe one of the main female characters? Like Gigi or even Savannah? It is also the only rose on this cover. All of the other covers have had roses behind the main picture. This is the first time there is only one. And it is very small.

Sorry, this is really badly written. Also very blunt.

Thank you @riddles-n-games for giving me somethings to ponder over. I enjoyed it.

I need Jameson to solve whatever puzzle or whatnot it is to find his “dead” grandma. He was the one who figured out Alice Hawthorne was alive in the first place; therefore he (and his brothers but mostly him) should have the rights to complete this mystery. Not whoever the fck would cover this story in the grandest game.

#If said mystery would be solved ofc #I’m quite irritated obv #bc istg if his story just get sidelined then what was tbh for #the inheritance games #jameson hawthorne #the brothers hawthorne #avery grambs #grayson hawthorne #the hawthorne legacy #the grandest game #nash hawthorne #xander hawthorne

[lyrakanefanatic]

Thoughts that I wanted to share about the brothers Hawthorne/ the grandest game bc I don’t wanna make a million posts about each one 💀

1: Phone girls dad literally shot himself ON. HER. BIRTHDAY. 😭😭

2: Skye Hawthorne MIGHT be in the grandest game, because when Avery got bombed and Ricky and skye got arrested for it, they found out that it actually wasn’t them which means they prob got out of jail (maybe not Ricky but probably skye) and she might be controlling one of the players

3: WE’LL PROBABLY GET TO SEE A SUNSHINE X GRUMPY TROPE!! (Mathias and Gigi)

4: we’ll see which 7 contestants avery will pick for the game!! (While I was writing that instead of contestants I accidentally put tributes 💀)

5: we might learn more about Toby’s backstory (or just the Hawthorne backstories in general, like Zara’s, nans or Alice’s)

6: speaking of Alice, SOMEHOW THAT OLD GRANDMAS GOING TO BE ALIVE

7: this isn’t really a prediction but more just like a possible hint for the grandest game, but when grayson tells his brothers about the riddle “what begins a bet? Not that”, Jameson says this

He says “what’s the opposite of a handshake?” And I found a picture online that shows multiple different options of what could be the opposite of a handshake

Basically most of the words on there kind of show “misinterpretation” or just different words for some sort of mistake, so would that mean that the “beef” (im just gonna call it that bc I don’t rlly know what went down) between tobias and thomas thomas was maybe accidental?? Or maybe they got into a disagreement that ended in thomas ending his life? All the book really shows is that one paragraph (that I highlighted in green) that talks about what Jameson thought of the riddle, and then Jameson was talking to Avery about the game (probs bc jlb didn’t wanna drop too many hints lmao) And then if you add it in with the “abet” theory ⬇️

It said that one of the opposites of a handshake were “refusal” and “disagreement”, so what if tobias had wanted thomas to aid one of his crimes and thomas refused, and maybe tobias gave him an ultimatum which is why he shot himself?? It’s so confusing bc what would tobias even do that was so horrible that thomas had to shoot himself, I really don’t know. but if anyone has some theory’s on this pls lmk! 🫶

8: holy guacamole 7 was a long one, but anyway i feel like there are definitely more hints on the grandest game in the brothers Hawthorne then there were in the final gambit, even though in (i think tig is the one that clue was from?) the inheritance games “special” edition bc idk what their called it said “hints in the final gambit”. (although one loose end from tig was David Golding, and @riddles-n-games had a good theory about that) But i read the final gambit entirely and didn’t find a single clue other than David, so that’s kinda weird (unless somebody else found something else they found interesting in that book?)

9: Eve might also be behind one of the players, or just trying to get involved with the game so she could get the cash prize or whatever else it is that that psycho needs 🙄

10: we’ll (most likely, bc I’m 99.9% sure that she’ll be in tgg) see what phone girl looks like and see which one of us were right 😜

11: kinda random but i will bet a whole 5 dollars that phone girls name is either gonna be flower related, or just straight up be lily. Or maybe both, but just think of how ironic that would be (there are calla lilys all over the cover of tgg… 🤷‍♀️)

12: LIBBY NASH WEDDING!!! 🤭🤭🤭💗

13: so off topic but WHERE DO GRAYSON AND JAMESON GET THEIR MONEY FROM??? like I’m sure jameson probably gets some cash from his billionaire girlfriend, but what about grayson?? he says in tbh that he’s “buried in work” but what kind of work does he do?? and who does he work for?? 🤨

14: Okay this is gonna be the last one bc i need to shut up, but does anybody have an idea on what some things in the grandest game cover might symbolize? we know about the lilys and the opal rings, but other than that i CANT seem to figure out anything else on there 😭😭

and okay that’s all thank you for coming to my ted talk 🫶😊🙌

(1/15) “It’s a magic trick, a dupe. Nothing but an illusion. And it starts the moment you walk in the door. Biggest store in the world. Eight full floors of shopping. And Santaland is at the very top. You can take the elevators. Or you can do what I did when I was a kid, and what I still do today: you take the escalators. Up, up, up. Through make-up. Through linens. Through housewares. Around the third floor, something happens. The escalators change to wood. They’re over one hundred years old, these escalators. From the original Macy’s. When you see them, you know: very soon. You’re about to see Santa. Your heart starts racing. Up, up, up. Until finally you see it: the back of the line. A line like you wouldn’t believe. Real life is happening in that line. Somebody pooped their diaper. Somebody needs to be breastfed. If anyone tries to smuggle in a pet, a white flower will step in. White flowers are managers. But nothing in Santaland is called by its actual name. The line goes past windows featuring scenes from Miracle on 34th Street. Then it spits you out at The North Pole. There’s a little kiosk with an elf. Full-grown adult, but the floor is dug out. So it looks like an elf. They’ll ask you Christmas questions: How many reindeer? How many lords a leaping? Doesn’t matter if you know the answer, because it’s all a mind game. To make you forget how long you’ve been waiting. In the business we call it ‘resetting the clock.’ After the elf you’re into the final maze. Everything covered in snow. Everything lit to the nines: the rainbow bridge, the animatronic penguins, the Lionel train. All of it setting up the final trick. You’ll come to a giant toy soldier made of candy. And that’s when you know you’ve arrived. A final elf will whisper those magic words: ‘Follow me.’ They’re walking backwards. They’re waving their hands. Keep looking at the hands. Don’t look at the other children, following other elves, to other doors. Just follow your elf to your door. Then walk right in. Turn that final corner, and poof. Real life disappears. All the waiting, all the crying, all the pooping, just melts away. And you’re face-to-face with the grandest illusion of all: Me.”

Games Untold Theory!

I'm just gonna get right into it. So, we are able to guess who the subjects are for most of the stories – except for Pain at the Right Gun.

I know that some of us are guessing that this one could be about Gray and Lyra (and I personally started to believe that too), but last night I had a sudden thought.

What if it isn't about Gray and Lyra but about Tobias and Alice?

One of the main reasons I don't think it's Gray and Lyra is because the events in Games Untold happen before the start of TGG and plus, JLB mentioned that the stories revolve around the characters from the original trilogy – AND the new Grandest Game characters do not appear.

Now, for my reasons as to why I think it's Tobias and Alice. I mentioned before that I believe Alice will be included in this book because of the pearl necklace on the cover. As for Tobias, I think he'll be included because of this:

The key. There's a key on the cover and the blade of the key (the part which you put in a lock) is shaped like a letter H. Tobias once said that the keys he made for the key challenge he created (the one where they had to find which key would open the door to Hawthorne House) told the story of his life. So this could be an indication that he's included.

But how could Tobias and Alice's relationship relate to the title of their short story, if it really was about them?

Pain at the Right Gun. There are several meanings for the word "gun". It could mean a weapon. Or it could also mean a bicep; muscular arms.

WARNING: This will start to sound like I'm stretching TOOOOO far but I'll try to make this make sense.

If we took "gun" to mean bicep, then it would mean Pain at the Right Bicep. Right bicep can kind of relate to right-hand, as in right-hand man. And I believe that Tobias and Alice had quite a close relationship since Tobias mentioned that Alice was the woman that he loved wholly (with that Hawthorne love).

Bicep pain is caused by muscle strain. So what if this is pointing to a strain in their relationship? As I said before, whatever Jameson heard in Prague (which was presumably Alice's words) was quite unnerving towards the Hawthorne family. It even seemed as though Alice didn't want to have anything to do with them. She didn't even come back to Hawthorne House during the old man's funeral – she didn't even have an intention of coming back to see her grandsons. And she warned Jameson to not talk about the fact that she was alive to anyone. What if there was a strain in Tobias and Alice's relationship and she ran away? Pain at the Right Gun. The pain could also be due to the fact that Alice kind of destroyed Tobias by running away. Tobias said "once you love the way a Hawthorne loves, there is no going back."

"If she is the one, someday, she will destroy you."

NEXT – Yes, I know there are calla lilies which point to Lyra on the cover. But remember – Nan mentioned that Tobias sent flowers to Lyra's dad's funeral... and who is to say that the flowers weren't calla lilies? Lyra's father gave her a calla lily before he sh0t himself de@d. He said "a Hawthorne did this". Somehow, I think the calla lilies mean more than a parting gift from Lyra's dad to Lyra.

And I just thought of something... WHAT IF... Alice is related to Lyra and her family in some way? What if she knew what Tobias did and it led to her running away?

Okay, that's it for my theory 👋 thank you for reading :P

im so confused. rohan's pov in tgg was very...unexpected. what's his role in the book? like i love rohan, he's a great side character, but what is his importance in this book for him to be a character with his own pov??? are avery and rohan collabing to create tgg? is he involved in finding alice? or is he in cahoots with eve? we'll never know (until august). im pretty sure he might be involved in finding alice though.

So this is the cover for the Games Untold book by Jennifer Lynn Barnes which is getting released on Novermber 12, 2024. In the cover, you can notice several things-

A pearl necklace ( Nan? Alice ? Who may it indicate lemme know)

A key to a lock ( A lock is visible on the grandest game cover )

A longsword ( Grayson probably )

A dagger with a rose shaped jewel on it ? Idk what is it.

A cowboy boot ( NASH HAWTHORNEE)

A compass ( True north, skye and zara ? )

Lots of Roses

Lots of Calla Lilies on the sides ( Lyra kane ? )

The description of Games Untold

Why did Fire light up on two of the roses at the corner ? (@carmenpowerpuffgirl mentioned )

EDIT- NO 4 IS ACTUALLY A RING. ( Libby and nash maybe )

AND A GOLD COIN on the lower right corner side.

Share your opinion on what do the above things indicate cz I'm lazy and have no idea what they mean.
