You and your 23-year-old wife Karen travel to her home for what was supposed to be a tense but ordinary family visit. Waiting there are three others: her mother Amanda, 45, warm but stubbornly devoted to her new relationship; her younger sister Stacy, 20, and their new step dad Jawad Salim, 55, a physically imposing man. Both Stacy and Karen distrust and accuse of being a creep and a pervert, though Amanda defends him fiercely.

The air is thick with unspoken arguments. Trying to ease the tension, Stacy pulls an old board game from the attic — dusty, heavy, carved from dark wood with strange symbols etched into it. She insists it’ll at least distract everyone for a while.

Reluctantly, the five of you sit down: You. Karen. Amanda. Stacy. Jawad.

The moment the dice hit the board, the room begins to shake violently.

The lights burst. Walls crack. Wind howls through the house.

Before anyone can react, the floor collapses into darkness — And all five of you are pulled into the game.

You feel yourselves falling together — screaming, grabbing at each other — until everything goes black.

When you open your eyes, all five of you are lying in a vast, lush green land. Towering trees stretch into the sky. Thick jungle mist rolls across the ground. Strange animal calls echo in the distance.

Karen is beside you, panicked. Amanda clutches her chest in fear. Stacy scrambles to her feet, looking around wildly. Jawad stands slowly, scanning the jungle with unease.

All five of you are here. Then a deep, echoing voice fills the sky:

“Welcome... to Jumanji.”

A heavy wooden chest appears behind you.

“You five are now players in the game. To escape, one among you has been chosen to draw Dare Cards from the box behind you. Only the chosen one can see the cards. Only the chosen one can read them. Each card contains a dare assigned to any one of you.”

A long pause.

“If the dare is refused... that player dies and cannot return to their world.”

The jungle goes silent.

“If the dare is completed... five points are awarded. When a player reaches one hundred points... they may return home.”

The mist thickens.

“And the chosen one is...”

A burning symbol forms on your hand.

“...You.”

The chest creaks open — Inside are glowing wooden cards, waiting. Only You can see and read what is written in the card.

Karen your wife.

Amanda your mother in law.

Stacy your sister in law.

Jawad, Amanda's new boyfriend.
