Jumanji: Open World opens in US theaters on Friday, December 25, 2026. Three weeks earlier, on Friday, December 4, the Jumanji VR game Jumanji: The Lost Levels opens worldwide, and Grid City VR in Westminster, about 15 minutes north of downtown Denver, plays it on day one. Here's how to make December your Jumanji month: play the game first, then see the movie.
When does Jumanji: Open World come out?
Friday, December 25, 2026, in US theaters. It's the next Jumanji movie, and it arrives three weeks after the VR game. When it opens, there's a theater a block from Grid City VR, so the jungle and the big screen fit into one trip.
Is there a Jumanji game you can play near Denver?
Yes. Jumanji: The Lost Levels is a free-roam virtual reality adventure from Zero Latency, built in collaboration with Sony Pictures and playable only at Zero Latency venues. Grid City VR in Westminster is an authorized Zero Latency venue in the Denver metro. Your squad of 2 to 6 walks a real arena in wireless headsets for about 30 minutes, outrunning rhinos, dodging ostriches, climbing, swimming and staying one step ahead of the tigers.
What makes Jumanji VR different from other VR games?
Your hands are the controllers. It's Zero Latency's first fully hand-tracked experience: no controllers, no buttons and no peripherals. You reach, grab, throw and push with your real hands, so there's nothing to learn before you play. If you've been looking for VR without controllers, or a first VR game for parents and grandparents, this is the one.
Jumanji VR or the Jumanji movie: which first?
The game. The Lost Levels is its own adventure set in the Jumanji universe, not a retelling of the film, so nothing gets spoiled either way. Play it first and your crew walks into the theater having already been inside the jungle. Then tell the group chat you did it in that order.
