Jumanji: Welcome to the SEA (2026) plunges players and audiences alike into a thrilling new chapter of the Jumanji universe, where the familiar board game has evolved into an even more immersive digital-ocean world. When four high school friends uncover an old console in their school’s basement, they expect a retro gaming night — but instead they are sucked into Jumanji: Sea Realm, a vast underwater domain filled with mystery, danger, and spectacular wonders.
Upon entering the game, each teenager is transformed into a vibrant avatar uniquely suited for life beneath the waves. There’s Tyler, who becomes a powerful dolphin-warrior with unmatched speed; Mia, transformed into a bioluminescent sea mage who commands glowing energies; Carlos, now an armored shark knight with strength that can topple coral fortresses; and Zoe, a clever sea fox navigator whose resourcefulness keeps the team alive. With every new transformation, they realize that this Jumanji world feels more alive and unpredictable than anything they’ve seen before.
The central mission reveals itself quickly: the Sea Realm is in peril. The once peaceful kingdom beneath the waves is suffocating as the Dark Current — a shadowy force of corrupted tides — spreads, threatening oceanic life and turning creatures into hostile adversaries. To restore balance, the quartet must recover four ancient relics hidden across distant aquatic biomes, each guarded by powerful champions and cunning puzzles that test their teamwork, courage, and wits.
As the adventure unfolds, the friends face spectacular challenges — from navigating glowing kelp forests and sunken ruins to outrunning colossal sea serpents and solving riddles in coral labyrinths. Along the way, they encounter allies like Marina, a graceful merfolk princess who teaches them the lore of the Sea Realm, and Krakenor, an enigmatic giant octopus who becomes their guide through treacherous waters.
What makes Welcome to the SEA especially compelling is how the characters grow. Tyler learns that speed isn’t everything without strategy, Mia discovers her magic is strongest when used to protect others, Carlos redefines what true strength means, and Zoe proves that even the smallest idea can change the course of a storm. Their personal growth mirrors the unity needed to challenge the Dark Current’s chilling power.
In the climactic finale, the team confronts the source of the corruption — an ancient sea titan awakened by imbalance and fear. Through trust, friendship, and bravery, they manage to restore harmony, unleashing a wave of renewal across the Sea Realm. When the game finally releases them, the friends return to the real world changed forever, bonded by an ocean-deep adventure that taught them the value of courage, connection, and the incredible power of working together.
