Warning: The following story is currently unedited and contains scenes that may be too intense for audiences. Honestly, this is more of a thought experiment than anything, especially given the idea of a what if.
Zecora had created a monster.
What was originally meant to be a birthday present for Applebloom as a game that has influences of her home country has the potential to cause chaos and devistation. In the process of creating a cardless game with a gem that would read out random events, something had gone wrong. So in an attempt to dismantle the game, she turned to Twilight in hopes to use magical means to take it apart safely.
Unfortunately, Smolder and Gallus had discovered the game. And out of boredom, decided they should play it with their friends.
After all, it's just a game... right?
Which jumanj movie is this story based around? The original with Robin Williams, welcome to the jungle, or the next level? If the original I'm curious to see how it will go.

It's more towards the original.
11118954
Sweet I loved that movie now I'm excited.
Huh! So it seems Smolder is the act-first-questions-later creature here, while Gallus is more the voice of reason! Neat!
11118954
Wise choice! The reboots, as fun as they are, honestly seemed to miss the point of what the game is about. If you really think about it, the game Jumanji is actually horrifying, and possibly a bit Lovecraftian, constantly drawing people in to play and fall victim to it's influence. There's a youtuber named Deusdaecon Reviews who does a full-blown analysis of the film, and goes into a lot more depth about how the game works, and it's a really great watch for anyone who loves the original film.
Get out! I was just about to search for a Jumanji story on this site and the first thing I see when I come here is one in the new stores segment! Kinda spooks me a little.
11119025
What can I say? I've been on a nostalgia kick recently.
11119038
It's still a weird coincidence. Almost as if Jumanji itself knew that I was looking for a story like this. If the things happening in the story start happening to me, I'm blaming you.
Obe question. Will you be using the cards from the movies or creating your own ones?
11119056
It'll be a mixed bag. Some would be from the original movie, others from the game itself, and a few that I've invented would be sprinkled throughout.
Zecora if you knew about this dark vibe you should have gotten rid of it but we all know what happened in the movie
She has a point Twilight because you do realize kids can be very curious when it comes to things like that
Yeah smolder about that....
Okay this is a very interesting start of a soy and this is like the very first Jumanji movie which I got no problem with the other ones they're pretty great but the first one will always be my childhood movie Zecora made a game thinking that it was supposed to be a fun one but instead it was a curse so she asked Twilight if we can reverse this or at least get rid of it somehow so they check out the library to see if there's anything meanwhile smolder and gallus what just hanging out at the yard but then they heard the drums so they check it out and they found the board game they're not supposed to find so they decided to play this game with the other two Ocellus and silverstream at first they didn't wanted to play but they wanted to see how it goes so they did and unfortunately this is when the game begins and as they say Welcome to the Jungle not really but you know what I mean but I wonder what they're going to do guess we'll find out next time
so... this is bast on the O.G. one ?
not this
your O.C. as a Jumanji Avatar !?
11119673
It would take inspiration from the original 1995 film and even the game board itself.
11118968
Agreed! To be perfectly fair, the reboots are still good movies in their own rights, but they just don't capture the same mood or spirit as the original did, and that was what had made the original so very memorable to begin with.
Hmm...I wonder if, when, and how will Fluttershy get involved.
Looks promising so far, with all the hype and actions.
The plot really kicks in! And we got two curses from the game in one chapter. Nice! Things are about to get really exciting. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Until then...
Well it's nice to see other ponies and creatures helping the young six
good thing those giant mosquitoes are not there yet or as things could have gotten really worse
Okay so the other four students got to Sandbar and Yona explain to them about the situation but unfortunately they don't believe them so they have to show them which of course things got really bad now there are Vines and worse a Venus flytrap that almost ate smolder so after that they went to Fluttershy to ask if they can get Discord to help but unfortunately he's not around of course but when they roll the dice again the bunch of monkeys came around and wreaking havoc around the school so the main five had to get every kids out of the school and the young six has to talk to Twilight and Zecora about the situation boy this is getting very intense I wonder what's going to happen next I guess we'll find out next time
This..... This is good. No... This is excellent. The Administration will continue observing this.
Things are starting to heat up & a very close call for 2nd best dragon in there!
Was wondering if Flutters abilities with animals would work against the ones coming out of the game, guess I got my answer! Although I do wonder what Ocellus turned into to scare those monkeys away like that!
Looking forward to see what comes out next & how our Young Six heroes deal with it!
11133956
*shudders* I remember those things, hope they don't come out......AT ALL!!!
What was the creature ocellus turned into to scare the monkeys?
This is starting to get really good. I'm really glad this is based on the Robin WIlliams film because that movie was true nightmare fuel. Also, I enjoy stories that involve characters playing Jumanji, so good on you for making this story so far.:)
11134022
Likely something eldritch
Yo a My Little Pony and Jumanji together I think that is pretty freaking awesome and it looks the young six got to stop in a pickle with that game board looks like they're in for a wild ride
Van Pelt was an obvious choice for one of the things to come out of the game, but I didn't expect a ponified version of him. Still it was a good move to make him not to feel too out of place.
Good work on this chapter. Can't wait for the next one! Keep up the good work!
Dang that's pretty deep and kinda scary 😨
Did Pinkie Pie broke the fourth wall and just watch the movies wow lol ok that's funny
Aww I guess that was pretty nice of her to do something for Applebloom after what happened back in season 1
I figured he'll show up sooner or later but he's a pony which I guess that makes sense since he is in Equestria
Well then things are getting very intense so far but at least the main 6 got the students out of the school so nobody won't get hurt which that's a pretty smart idea and hopefully none of the kids will get the clue that will suck them into the game but I guess this is even worse when the Hunter showed up and basically hunting down gallus it's a good thing the other stop him but he escaped and he's not going to give up until he shoots down gallus now this is getting more dangerous than before I guess we'll find out next time
Oh Lordy, I was just about to ask if you would add Van Pelt because the game is not the same without him. Though I am disappointed he isn't human and his first words aren't, "You miserable coward!" from what we got here, it is satisfactory.
Here's hoping for more scary situations. Keep it up.
Edit: Also, the correct term for him is Game Hunter, not Headhunter.
11148257
Trust me, no one who is playing will be sucked in.
Good take on Van Pelt here with that crazed hunter pony, well played!
Two awesome points for this chapter include :
Oohhhh sweet burn there by the yak!
*sigh* better get the spackle to fix the 4th wall again!
Also holy heck Zecora, you don't do anything halfway do you???
Just three chapters and we already have this much chaos going on. Discord would be jealous.
It truly feels like Jumanji. Also nice you put some of the dangers from the Milton Bradley Jumanji board game. I have a Noble Collection replica in my possession now. Fun to play with.
I can just imagine how they take one danger that creeped me out in the original movie:
"Need a hand? Why just you wait; We'll help you out. We each have eight"
i.pinimg.com/originals/7e/1c/b3/7e1cb384e74b76cd7cfe02ef7d52d849.jpg
It's Pinkie Pie! She has to break the fourth wall every now and then, there's a quota she has to fill!
I had somehow failed to fave this fic back when I read the first chapter and hadn't known until now it'd updated again, so I had to do a bit of catch-up real quick, but we're all good now. Looking forward to more!

I notice, now, that you've phrased that very precisely.
that scene actually scared me when I was a kid
😳
11156400
Well, the author didn't technically lie.
11156412
Me too. I was very young when I first saw it. Even as a kid I didn't mind the rest of the movie, just that beginning part that scared the daylights out of me.
Sandbar I know you're upset right now believe me I know how much you care about her but you need to calm down kid 😥
Oh boy it's that crazy Hunter
Oh crapbaskets, things just went sour there with not only the school destroyed but Yona been taken by the game for her actions!
Speaking of which, you were right Cracked, no one *playing* the game would be sucked in! 
By the way don't you mean roll
