Put all of the self proclaimed "authors" who ask questions here in an arena and promise that the last one standing will get 10,000 views on Wattpad. That'd work.

Children get bussed to an island and they have to kill each other off for a TV show. This is the plot of Battle Royale which the writer of Hunger Games insists she didn't copy.

If you already thought it would rip off Hunger Games, then clearly it does.

The competition could be something which didn't explicitly require them to kill each other. They might even go to some lengths to hide what they're doing. Different alliances could form with disinformation going around about what the other teams intend and even about the rules of the game. Maybe the idea that there's a competition at all could be a bit suspect. What if some people are getting messages giving them instructions for a competition and others are unknowing participants? People getting messages could disagree about what they mean and who they're coming from. They might try to fraud versions of the messages to misdirect each other

Anything along this line will seem like a rip off.
