With anticipation high for the release of The Hunger Games March 21-23 worldwide, fans can also look forward to a social media game to be launched on Facebook at the same time showing an official map of the Panem world.

The map of the sci-fi adventure starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark lets players dive into the dystopian future to complete missions and interact with characters from the best-selling novels by Suzanne Collins.

Details of the map of Panem will roll out in the game as its world reveals itself over time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'We chose Funtactix to create this game because they bring the level of authenticity and quality to their movie-based social games that is crucial to fans of The Hunger Games.'

The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross (Seabiscuit), follows the annual fights to the death on live television between a boy and girl from a dozen districts.
