Sister and brother Judy Shepherd (Debi Derryberry) and Peter Shepherd (Ashley Johnson) move to a new house with Aunt Nora Shepherd (Melanie Chartoff). In the attic, they find an unusual board-game, Jumanji. When they play, a rhyming quiz appears, and they're sucked into the bizarre world of Jumanji, where they have to solve the riddle in order to win the game. They meet Alan Parrish (Bill Fagerbakke), who has been trapped there for many years, and the three of them get into action-packed scrapes as they try to help Alan escape, but are always thwarted at the last minute.
