Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first riddle of "Jumanji" calls up a flock of African Bats. Where do they first appear? "They fly at night, you'd better run These winged things are not much fun."

Answer: the fireplace

You hear the bats squeak right after the riddle appears, but they don't appear until after Alan is sucked into the board game. They chase Sarah down the street and one scares Peter in the attic.

2. What is the first part of Alan to be sucked into the board game when we hear "In the jungle you must wait/Until the dice read five or eight?"

Answer: hands

Alan glances at his hands, sees them fading into the board game and begins to scream. Once he has disappeared, the bats appear and chase away Alan's only means of escaping the game.

3. What does Judy use to fight the giant mosquitoes that come from the following riddle? "A little bite will make you itch Make you sneeze, make you twitch."

Answer: a tennis racket

She bats one right through a window and the others follow through the hole it makes.

4. "This will not be an easy mission Monkeys slow the expedition." True or False, there is a monkey trapped in the refrigerator.

Answer: True

We don't see this until Alan has visited his parents' grave and groomed himself.

5. "His fangs are sharp, he likes your taste Your party better move post haste." What else comes out of the game besides the lion after this riddle is shown to the kids?

Answer: Alan Parrish

Peter rolls a five and, according to Alan's riddle, sets the now much older Alan free.

6. "They grow much faster than bamboo Take care or they'll come after you." What does Alan say the purple ones do?

Answer: Shoot poisonous barbs

The yellow pods are the large, carnivorous flowers. The pretty, purple flowers don't really attack until the end of the movie, when one pops through the floorboards and shoots Judy in the neck.

7. What is the name of the hunter from the following riddle? "Hunter from the darkest wild Makes you feel just like a child."

Answer: Van Pelt

Van Pelt is played by the same actor who plays Alan's father.

8. "Don't be fooled, it isn't thunder Staying put would be a blunder." If it isn't thunder, what is it?

Answer: a stampede

"Run. It's a stampede!" ~ Alan Parrish.

9. When Peter cheats, he begins to regress into monkey form. Sarah asks him if he cheated and he says what? "A law of 'Jumanji' has been broken You will step back even more than your token"

Answer: no, he just tried to drop the dice on the numbers he wanted

"Ok honey, that would be cheating." ~ Sarah's response to Peter's answer. Peter didn't think he was cheating but the game did.

10. "Every month at the quarter moon There'll be a monsoon in your lagoon." What is Alan's solution for dealing with the monsoon waters?

Answer: get to higher ground

Unfortunately, the gang is washed down the stairs by a waterfall and attacked by dragon-like alligators (or crocodiles).

11. "Beware the ground on which you stand The floor is quicker than the sand." What does Sarah finally use to save Alan before his head sinks?

Answer: a door

She puts the door on the floor and lays down on it, grabbing Alan by the arms and pulling him up. They get stuck in the floor when Judy rolls, also trying to stop Alan from sinking by trying to finish the game.

12. What affect does Judy's roll have? "There is a lesson you must learn Sometimes you must go back a turn."

Answer: The floor hardens

Alan and Sarah are stuck in the floor after this turn.

13. Where does Alan tell Peter he will find his father's ax after this riddle calls forth giant spiders? "Need a hand, well you just wait We'll lend a hand, we each have eight."

Answer: the woodshed

I'm sorry but I would die if I ever saw spiders as big as my head. As far as movie info goes, Peter finds the woodshed locked, picks up an ax that is lying nearby, begins to chop the lock off and realizes he is holding the very same ax he was sent to get. After a glance at the camera, he runs back inside.

14. "You're almost there with much at stake But now the ground begins to quake." How does Sarah roll the dice since she is stuck in the floor?

Answer: She puts the dice in her mouth

When the house splits open, Sarah refuses to let go of Alan, who is falling through the floor, and the game falls instead.

15. What does Alan tell the hunter that his father taught him, just before he reaches the center of the game and calls out "Jumanji."

Answer: face your fears

Van Pelt tells him he is finally beginning to act like a man. He then raises the gun to shoot and Sarah jumps in front of Alan to save him. Luckily, Alan has already called out "Jumanji" and the bullet is the first thing to get sucked back into the board game.
