A series of films that follow several people playing a strange board game that unleashes all the creatures from the game's jungle into our world. The board game later turns into a video game, and when booted up, the players become the avatars of the characters they have selected. The only way to stop the game is to beat it and call out its name. All films are based on a book written by Chris Van Allsburg in 1981.
When siblings Judy and Peter discover an enchanted board game that opens the door to a magical world, they unwittingly invite Alan -- an adult who's been trapped inside the game for 26 years -- into their living room. Alan's only hope for freedom is to finish the game, which proves risky as all three find themselves running from giant rhinoceroses, evil monkeys and other terrifying creatures.
