Hyrax Attack!
Jan 13, 2009

We demand to be taken seriously

Alright it’s time to play Jumanji but if we don’t want to end up fighting crocodiles, getting menaced by spiders, or stalked by a lion we gotta figure out a game plan. We could try:

-Having everyone roll the dice on their turn as fast as possible without pausing to read messages. We might finish in under a minute, or get halfway and be killed by a flood, stampede, and quicksand combo.

-Play atop a wind turbine wearing hazmat suits. Would shield against ground animals and mosquitos, but leave us vulnerable to big game hunter sniper fire and an earthquake would be certain death.

-Play one turn with rifles on hand, 50/50 odds whatever emerges would be killable. Live for 60 more years carefully tracking the stock market, then finish the game and warp back in time to corner the market.

What are your suggestions for being in it to win it?

Agreed. Do we even need "strategies" for a game where The Rock is a possible player character?

I mean I guess if you're the loser stuck playing as Jack Black, then maybe.

The trick is to keep moving constantly. Don't give the danger time to get too dense in any one area, and already be leaving an area by the time a hazard starts to manifest (like those carnivorous plants).

Send a couple of people in to chill while the other players figure out good stocks, lotto tickets and whatever to buy.

Do multiple short playthroughs so none of your friends end up way older than you.

Always pick The Rock.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Play in a major city. The National Guard will get called out to come shoot the lions and elephants and Ross from Friends will collect the monkey to live with him, then right before the last roll just live your life normally until you're about to die and then finish the game to be transported back to youth. You could essentially live forever by playing the game over and over.

if you cheat you get turned into a monkey, there has to be a way to use that to your advantage

You don't know if you get turned into a monkey every time. That was just the instance we saw. You might end up as a banana slug.

Play the game on a spacewalk. All the animals that spawn will die immediately and there is no land for earthquakes or atmosphere for bad weather.

Does it? I mean the Robin Williams character probably has PTSD after being in a jungle.

Jenny, eh, has a deep understanding of how people can treat a person when they think she is crazy, but she has a leg up on the next 40 years. Though those two kids have no problems, and their parents live at the end.

Isolate the game board in a deep underground bunker, and everyone plays the game far away with remote controlled robot hands.

Imagine living your whole life twice but the first half was filled with misery and horror.

The new movie actually fixed that where it had the time periods be a bit different. 20 years in the game only felt like a few months. Tbh that’s a bit easier to swallow.

Dang that’s a good concept for the 3rd movie. Or a Mars mission. A massive stampede of rhinos and elephants asphyxiates immediately and NASA has 20 tons of protein to harvest. A tremendous flood would provide drinking water. Trap someone on Earth, launch the game to Mars, extract them there to save fuel.

Dammit I want to see this movie now.

Have everyone roll super fast, like boom boom boom boom. All the dangers descend on you at once, but maybe they'll start fighting each other and you quickly leave the area.

Of course, this also has the chance to just compound the jungle animal menace, like making a lion that can shoot mosquitoes out of its mouth or something.

Hell dimension? Also, police officer David Alan Grier was nonchalant about the British hunter trying his best to kill him with a rifle. He didn’t report “attempted murderer on the loose” with his radio, just resumed searching for Robin Williams to ask questions about running into the street in odd clothes.
