Description summary:
The description varies as 
The Games Approach.
| Approach | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 - 8? | A mess: bustling labourers, prowling tigers [...] Keepers move exhibits from [...] cages, deeper into the Labyrinth. Surveyors measure outbuildings and sheds, assessing which structures can be folded into the designs, and which must be disassembled or moved. |
| 9? - 16? | Under-structures emerge, struts stretching upwards like masts in a shipyard. The rough shape of the amphitheatre is visible, now, written across the lawns and pathways of this first coil of the Labyrinth. It will be large. |
| 17? - 24 | The construction encompasses […] existing buildings. The vast oval of the amphitheatre envelops […] cages and storehouses. It matters not what lies beneath; the temporary stands balance themselves upright on the bones of whatever they can find. |
| 25 - 32 | The bones of the amphitheatres are largely complete, both here and across the city. [...] they look naked and flimsy, unsuitable for holding up the roiling hordes of a sporting event. Tigers supervise the transport of pallets of faux-stone cladding. [...] |
| 33 - 40 | […] a vast oval stand, apparently hewn from stone, sits where once the great lawn mouldered. Only the sounds of unhappy wood betray the lie. Teams of artists lay mosaic into the arena floor, monitored by languid tiger overseers. |
| 41+ | The amphitheatres loom over the Fifth City, casting unfamiliar shadows […]. Their construction has been dazzlingly, impossibly fast; and yet they looks as if they have stood for millennia, ruined transplants from the jungles across the zee. |
