The game has been published on the film's official page on Facebook, described as an interactive 360 experience which can be played on desktop and Facebook's mobile app.
As reported by Engadget, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, is built on the VR developer kit that Facebook rolled out earlier this year and works with both 360 video and virtual reality headsets.
