Biography

Peter sees the Lion.

While their parents are out at a party, Judy and Peter head outside to play when they discover the "Jumanji" game with a notice of reading instructions before playing. Despite Peter not wanting to continue after barely escaping the Lion, Judy insists that they must stick to the rules and finish the game to make the consequences disappear. Peter lands on a square that releases a Tsetse fly that bites him, sending him into a deep sleep, but waking up in time to avoid the stampeding Rhinoceroses. Judy actually ends up winning the game when her piece reaches the golden city and calling out the city by its name: "Jumanji". Once the consequences vanish, the kids take the game and leave it outside, only to be picked up by the children of their parent's guests.
