The attraction of the game is down to the elaborate painting on the front, which is reminiscent of circus posters. 'JUMANJI' is a stylized rectangular folded box, carved out of wood. The most widely known version of 'JUMANJI' is the 1995 film's depiction.

Danny then discovered a second board game within the 'JUMANJI' box, an outer space / sci-fi orientated futuristic game known as: 'ZATHURA'. In the book's sequel, Zathura, Danny wanted to play 'JUMANJI' with his brother after he found it, but Walter was uninterested as he saw the game's jungle animal / adventure theme as childish. Only when the winner lands their token on the golden city and calls out the name of 'JUMANJI' will the consequences vanish and everything become undone. Each square has a unique written message that will manifest into the real world when a token lands on it. The game board is designed for two players that use simple playing pieces and dice, to move their token along an elongated squared path that starts in the deepest jungle and leads to the final space 'JUMANJI' itself, a city of golden buildings and towers. In the original picture book, the 'JUMANJI' game is as simple as any other board game, being a folded board within a rectangular box. These games also have the tendency to mess with said players itself with their savage nature. 'JUMANJI' is also known to have an outerspace-themed 'sibling', known as: 'ZATHURA', with identical purpose to keep its finders busy and unable to escape unless the space adventure is finished.īoth 'JUMANJI' and 'ZATHURA' are unclear in their origins, but the games both share identical traits, intentionally seeking out the younger demographic who are easily bored and crave excitement in their mundane or boring lives. 'JUMANJI' gets antsy when it is left unfinished, and on occasion it sends out enticing drumbeats to attract potential players and victims. The magical powers 'JUMANJI' possesses vary from being able to send players into its African jungle-like alternate reality or to send the dangers of said reality into the real world like the original. Anyone that has played this supernatural game has discovered that 'JUMANJI' appears to have a mind of its own (some surviving players even claim that it is cursed) that doesn't rest until those who start playing it, gain the will to finish. 'JUMANJI' is a seemingly antique board game with elaborate decorations to attract interest to the young in heart and easily bored.
