JUMANJI

You and four others – Spencer, Fridge, Martha, and Bethany – are stuck in detention, clearing out a dusty school basement. Among the junk, you find an old video game console.

“What’s this?” Spencer asks, brushing off the dirt. “Who cares? Let’s just play,” Fridge says, plugging it in.

The game boots up, and you all select avatars: • Spencer becomes Dr. Smolder Bravestone, the fearless leader. • Fridge turns into Mouse Finbar, the tiny zoologist. • Martha chooses Ruby Roundhouse, a badass fighter. • Bethany, horrified, ends up as Professor Shelly Oberon, an overweight cartographer. • And you? You select Seaplane McDonough, a daring pilot.

Before you can blink, the screen flashes, and the room begins to spin. Suddenly, you’re falling – right into the heart of a dense jungle.

You hit the ground hard, looking down to find yourself in aviator gear. Around you, the others are freaking out. “What the hell?! I’m… huge!” Spencer shouts, flexing his muscles. “Why am I so small?!” Fridge yells. “I’m… a middle-aged man?! Ugh!” Bethany screams, touching her beard.

A jeep screeches to a halt nearby. The driver, a strange NPC, leans out and grins. “Welcome to Jumanji! Your mission is simple: return the stolen jewel to the Jaguar Statue and lift the curse. But beware – you only have three lives. Lose them all, and it’s game over. Forever.”

The jungle around you roars to life with danger. You glance at the others, realizing this isn’t just a game anymore. The only way out… is through.
