Spencer's life had been much harder compared to the others. Once the four friends completed the game and returned to their real selves, Fridge used a Rhino brand bowling ball to destroy the "JUMANJI" game to prevent anyone from playing it again.ĭespite the four friends growing close after playing "JUMANJI", Martha and Spencer had drifted apart. Though the rest of the players returned to 2017, Alex was sent back in time to 1996 to the moment he left, altering his family's sad history. Together they won the game and were returned to the real world by Nigel Billingsley. Eventually the four found their "missing piece": who was Alex in the form of Seaplane McDonough, who believed himself to be gone from home for only a few months, when it was really 20 years. Inside the world of "JUMANJI", the group met the game's field guide Nigel Billingsley, instructing them to return the Jaguar's Eye to the Jaguar Shrine and lift the curse, and would be able to leave the game after they save "JUMANJI" and call out its name. The four students, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony Johnson, Bethany Walker, and Martha Kaply then started to play the game, were taken into "JUMANJI", and literally became the avatars they chose: Twenty years later, the "JUMANJI" video game console was donated to Brantford High School, then found by four students in the school basement (they were there to help recycle old magazines as a way to serve detention). However, Alex became McDonough and became trapped within "JUMANJI" and suffered the same fate as Alan Parrish the boy who disappeared from Brantford.

Alex then took immediate interest and started to play the game, playing as Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough. "JUMANJI", seeing that Alex was more interested in video games, knew it had to adapt to modern times and tastes in order to attract interest and in the middle of the night, changed its game board into a video game cartridge, leaving the empty box behind. However, Alex did not like the board game, as he said "Who plays board games anymore?". Vreeke, who then took it home to the Vreeke House, thinking his son Alex Vreeke would like it. The board game (somehow) made it's way back to Brantford, New Hampshire in 1996 where it was found on a beach again, this time by Mr.

After Alan Parrish and Sarah Whittle set the "JUMANJI" board game adrift in a river, it was then found by a pair of French girls.
