Who remembers the first Jumanji ? I love that movie. I definitely felt like I was on a adventure and I wanted to buy the game immediately after just to see what would happen. Ha. Well long story short never purchased the game but saw the movie more than once.
My family and I recently attended two advanced screenings of the new Jumanji Welcome To The Jungle movie. Yes we saw it twice because it was so funny and our favorite actors are in the movie. Come on Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black. We also enjoyed Nick Jonas character as well. 
Before the screening Sony invited families to Dave and Busters in Times Square for food, fun and games. We won lots of swag, stuffed our faces and played lots of games. We enjoyed this very much. 
The new Jumanji was very good. The story starts with the characters in high school then they come across the Jumanji game and next thing you know they’re older and fighting to stay alive while trying to save Jumanji. Jack Black played the role of a female very well. I would have picked Karen Gillian’s character. She kicked ass (literally).
I noticed a few Sony products in the movie. Sony headphones and a Sony radio. Keep a look out.
Snippet: In the brand new adventure Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever.
Sony Square has opened a new interactive exhibit that enables visitors to help save Jumanji through an interactive game that utilizes haptic technology from Sony, which recreates the sense of touch by producing dynamic and expressive vibrations.
For this exhibit, visitors put on 3D glasses and a haptic vest, pick a character for the game, and get “dropped” into the jungle. The goal of the game is to retrieve a jewel that will protect Jumanji from grave danger. But the quest is not easy. There are animals in the jungle that stand in the way of success. As the player travels through the game, the haptic vest will enable them to feel the stones, branches and coconuts the animals throw at them to slow their pursuit of the jewel.
The Jumanji exhibit will be featured at Sony Square NYC from November 30 through January 8, 2018.
The Jumanji experience is restricted to those over six years old. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Sony Square NYC is located at 25 Madison Avenue and is open to the public Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.sony.com/square-nyc/.
