Applying is easy!  

When applications open in December 2025, all you have to do is fill out a form and submit a 2-3 minute video. The form will ask what charity you would like to play for so be ready with that information before you fill it out. To make the video easier, we will have prompts so you have an idea of what to talk about. You will be asked to introduce yourself and answer 2-3 of the following questions:

​

• If you were in the Hunger Games, what would be your strategy to win?

• What motivated you to apply for this adventure?

• Tell us about your biggest passion outside of work / Survivor.

• If you could bring one extremely useless item with you into the game, what would it be and why?

• Tell us about your favorite place in the world.  Could be a place you visit often or a place you hope to visit someday.

• Why do you want to play CYS?

​

Applications will remain open until January 10, 2026.  We will conduct interviews with some applicants throughout the month of January and ALL applicants will be contacted in early February.  Don't fret if you do not get contacted for an interview - some applicants will get cast based on their video alone.  

 

If you are selected to participate, you will be required to sign liability forms, submit an entry fee of $300, and raise at least $200.  A change this year: the charity you play for will receive ALL of the money you raise for them!
