📖 THE STORY

Hearing the drums and the sounds of the jungle animals, you and your friends investigate the noise. As you approached, you are all dragged into a surreal world full of plants, animals and bugs. You have entered the jungle game. Can you and your friends roll the dice, survive the dangers that lie ahead, and finish the game, before becoming trapped in here forever?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The central puzzle and prop that you interact with through the game was a lot of fun and delightful to play with. It also played some confirmation audio whenever we were correct which brought up the energy level in the room.

• There were a few no tech puzzles that were creative and ones we have not seen before. There was also another fun puzzle that was no tech and encouraged a lot of teamwork to complete.

• The objectives of the room and the overarching story was nicely laid out on the central puzzle so we could know how far along we are and what stage of the room we were at.

• The art that decorated the room was beautifully painted with the different animals we would find around the jungle.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• A couple of puzzles could have had better confirmation when we were correct. For one, we had to ask for a hint only to be told we did it right and look closer at the item.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Welcome to the Jungle" was a solid experience with some creative puzzles, some with lots of tech and some with no tech. The beautiful paintings really added to the décor of the room. The highlight of the game though was the central puzzle prop which really tied the game together. This would be a fun game to play with some beginners or anyone who is a fan of Jumanji. We played with 4 people and found that it was the right amount to enjoy the game and allow everyone to still experience everything.
