World's first Automated Jumanji Board game
After over 2 years of engineering, programming, and testing I finally completed what I believe may be the world’s first fully automated and voice-activated Jumanji board inspired by the 1995 film Jumanji.
The original board itself actually started as a plain display board purchased online with no electronics, movement, or effects. From there, I designed and built the entire internal automated system completely from scratch. I also added a center piece and display for the riddles.
The board features:
- Fully self-moving pawns
- Voice activated controls
- Hidden automated movement system underneath the board
- Interactive riddle/event display system
- Custom electronics and mechanics
- Real gameplay functionality inspired by the movie
The pawns physically move on their own and automatically travel the exact amount rolled on the dice.
Here’s a demo video of the board in action:
