History

1995

In 1969, Alan Parrish found the exciting-looking game called: "JUMANJI" at the Parrish Shoe Company, and took it home to play. After unintentionally rolling the game dice, he was taken to "JUMANJI" itself, where he would have to stay until the dice read a five, or an eight. Since his friend Sarah Whittle ran off after being scared away by Bats, Alan spent 26 years in the jungle and he even built a treehouse to live in, becoming enemies with the great white hunter Van Pelt; until Peter Shepherd released him in 1995 after rolling a 5 dice.

Elements of "JUMANJI" were manifested into Brantford from gameplay, even the Parrish Mansion was overrun by fast growing "JUMANJI" vegetation released by Sarah Whittle's dice roll. Once Alan's token landed on the crystal ball and he called out the name: "JUMANJI" the consequences were returned to the game's realm and the alternative timeline was undone.

Nigel's letter to Dr. Bravestone.

In 1996, Alex Vreeke started playing the new "JUMANJI" video game style and was transported into the "JUMANJI" realm, taking on the avatar Seaplane McDonough but was unable to leave until the round of gameplay was completed. He spent the next twenty years living alone in Alan Parrish's treehouse, until four new players, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony Johnson, Martha Kaply and Bethany Walker discovered "JUMANJI" while in detention at Brantford High School and were transported into the "JUMANJI" realm as the avatars they chose.

The four learned from Nigel Billingsley that Russell Van Pelt stole the Jaguar's Eye from the Jaguar Shrine, which placed himself and the "JUMANJI" realm under a curse that would not be broken until they returned the jewel back to the colossus, which would also complete the game Alex started and send them all home.

2019

To coincide with its video game form and being played once again, "JUMANJI" created a new story for it's gaming experience; the Jumanjian warlord Jurgen the Brutal and his followers returned to the land and stole the sacred Falcon Jewel from the Avian Province, removing it from the sunlight and causing "JUMANJI" to suffer a drought. Thanks to their previous success at defeating Russell Van Pelt, Nigel had no choice but to send another letter to Dr. Bravestone and his crew to return and save "JUMANJI" once again.
