* What's the purpose of trapping someone in the jungle? The riddle seems to suggest it could be a very long time before you're released, but Alan was only in there for 26 years because the game went on a super long hiatus. When playing "normally" surely you'd only be in there for something like 2-3 minutes tops, right? Or did [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything whatever force created the board]] anticipate that games could potentially take years from start to finish?

** Beyond that, the chronology of events -- that Alan disappeared ''during'' the banquet and not before or after, may not have been obvious to outsiders. In addition, we know, from the end, that Alan's father had to make a last-minute trip back home, as he had forgotten something. Since this probably did happen in the timeline in which Alan disappeared, an accuser could easily say that that was when he killed Alan.

**Why were the Parishes so convinced that Allan ran away? He was about to, but never made it out, so they must have seen his unmoved suitcase and bike still at the house. He also came from a rich family and had a history of being bullied, so kidnapping or foul play weren’t exactly off the table. Also add to that that Sarah’s claims that he was sucked into Jumanji were dismissed as a vision meant to cope with seeing her friend murdered, so wouldn’t that lead the Parishes to conclude that she was blocking out seeing a kidnapping? Not that it would have made a difference in whether or not they found him, but it would have at least cleared Sam Parish’s name.

**Also Nora had more notice to go back, it being her house with her niece and nephew possibly in danger there.

**** She does say that she told Billy to stop picking on Allan, but who knows who assertive she was about it while doing so, and how much bravery it took when she knew that he already liked her and hated Allan.

*** You could also say that her particular lesson was about ''taking action''. One of Alan's troubles as a child was the fact that he was tormented by bullies, the lead one in particular because he had a crush on Sara, and young Sara and Alan were friends. On the fateful night they played the game, Sara had brought back the bicycle that the bully and his cronies had stolen from him, but there's no mention of her confronting said bully about taking it from Alan in the first place. One could argue that some of their troubles could be taken care of if Sara stood up to the bully alongside Alan, and that her lack of taking action enabled some of her and Alan's troubles. And throughout the game she learns to take agency for herself and not simply stand by passively while troubles affect herself and others.
