just leave them ingame
if the players are able to get to them then the whole thing is shot anyway, may as well allow them to kill them
That's not how it works.
They work in a HQ where they alter the minigame and make it fun, but if anyone gets too far out of the map or someone refuses to return to the cornucopia near the end, they can be chased down in a hovercraft and shot.
It's more immersive than just instantly dying, and a lot of fun for both parties. The Gamemakers won't die, they'll stay in the ship/HQ.
First of all, they would be dressed up like a Hunger Games tribute, and it would be weird. Secondly, they would ALWAYS be the last one alive, the tributes could never win.
