110 free Jumanji trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
55 free Jumanji trivia questions with answers. Jumanji started as a 32-page picture book about two bored kids and a lion in the bedroom, and grew into a franchise that has taken more than two billion dollars at the box office. This quiz covers all of it: Chris Van Allsburg's 1981 book, the 1995 Robin Williams film with its stampede through Brantford and its 26-year time jump, the animated series, the Zathura spin-off, and the Dwayne Johnson era of Welcome to the Jungle and The Next Level with its body-swapping avatars. The early questions are easy enough for anyone who has seen the films once. Later ones dig into production details, box office numbers, casting stories and the differences between book and screen, so a movie-night group can find its expert. Every answer was checked against the Wikipedia articles on the book, the films and their author, and each question shows the sentence that supports it once you answer.
