Plot
1996
Adjusting to Jumanji.
After Nigel leaves the avatars to their fates, they discover each of their avatars also comes with special skills and weaknesses, just before
they are attacked by armed men on motorcycles. When Ruby (Martha) uncovers a gunshot and evaporates before quickly regenerating
back to life, Spencer notices each of them have three tattooed stripes indicating their lives, figuring out that if they lose all three, they will
actually die permanently. Shelly (Bethany) notices that only his skills can read the map, which points them in the direction of the Bazaar.
Along the way, Spencer and Fridge start arguing about their differences back in Brantford, resulting in Finbar (Fridge) shoving Smolder
(Spencer) off the edge to his death and subsequent regeneration.
The Bazaar
The Bazaar.
The group arrive in the marketplace and begin interact with a Merchant, who tempted them with his bakery and they automatically
responded to regain their health. Finbar (Fridge) ate some of his pound cake which then cost him to lose a life through explosion. The
group then meet a rhyming boy who points them towards their next clue inside a Snake basket, where the clue is guarded by a lethal Black
Mamba. To avoid anyone losing any more lives, they start working together to obtain the clue from the Snake by de-fanging it, finding an
Elephant idol wrapped in a written note concerning climbing when seeing an Elephant. Van Pelt's men then surround them with the
intention of capturing or killing them to retrieve the Jaguar's Eye, but the four evade them long enough and they are rescued by Seaplane
McDonough, who leads them under the Bazaar, past a pit of Crocodiles and takes them to recuperate in a treehouse built by a previous
player known as Alan Parrish.
The Transportation Shed
Alan Parrish's treehouse.
McDonough explains that a Transportation Shed houses vehicles that would make travel to the Jaguar Shrine easier, but he stayed away
from the Shed after losing two lives, he is only on his last life and the Shed is guarded by Van Pelt's men. While the five make plans to
enter the Transportation Shed to commandeer a helicopter and fly for the Jaguar Shrine, they learn that the avatar pilot named Seaplane
McDonough is actually Alex Vreeke, who in turn learns that he has been in the game for twenty years. After Ruby fails at distracting due
to the soldier's automated responses, she defeats them easily with her dance fighting skills, enabling the five to pilot the evacuation
chopper out of the Shed towards the next level.
Canyon
Protagonists.
Arriving at the statue grounds, the five find an Elephant statue that looks just like the idol and suspect that means they must climb the
trees. Smolder (Spencer) takes that skills in his stride and makes for the trees to cover more ground, but loses his nerve from being startled
by a screeching Squirrel and falls to the ground, where he is mauled to death by a Jaguar. Using tactics from Fridge's love of football, the
players find themselves individually facing and evading Van Pelt's forces and Jaguar guards. Van Pelt himself apprehends Shelly
(Bethany) at gunpoint to force Smolder (Spencer) to hand over the jewel, until Finbar (Fridge) arrives riding an Elephant he tamed with
his zoology skills, easily taking out Van Pelt's Jaguars but retreats after Van Pelt fires a shot. The avatars figure out that the living
Elephant's appearance was the true meaning of their clue and they use their resources and teamwork to distract Van Pelt. Ruby (Martha)
deliberately succumbs to her avatar's weakness (Snake Venom) and respawns with the Jaguar's Eye from the sky above, while Smolder
(Spencer) climbs the shrine just in time to be handed the eye from Ruby (Martha) and returns the jewel to the Jaguar statue. After each of
the five avatars call out; "JUMANJI" The game is won, disintegrating Van Pelt into many rats, and undoing the curse that fell upon
the "JUMANJI" realm.
After the sky clears, Nigel returns to shake each of their hands and transport them back to their own world, albeit Spencer grew to form a
relationship with Martha, likes himself being Smolder Bravestone and was tempted to stay with her until she persuaded him to go back,
deciding they should live their lives in Brantford like they have in "JUMANJI".
