Dan versus Jumanji is a Fan Fic by Robot Wattieza. It was published in 25th July 2024. It is a Crossover between Dan Vs., Jumanji and Zathura, while also borrowing some elements from Jumanji: The Animated Series.
The plot starts with Dan rediscovering two mysterious board games; Jumanji and Zathura. When he finds out whatever happens in them also happens in reality after playing one of them, he makes it his quest to find out who is behind these cursed games and take his revenge, with his friend Chris coming along. Meanwhile Elise—Chris' wife—is not so happy about his spouse being dragged by Dan, so she searches after them to save them before it is too late, with the help of Judy, Peter and Walter—the previous players of the supposed cursed games.

Tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: The story ends with the Master defeated and the cursed board games destroyed, so no one has to suffer from ever playing them in the future. But all the previous victims the games claimed remain dead, at least their souls are at peace now.
- Continuation: The story is set in 16th March 2013, a week after Dan Vs ended. And decades after the events of Jumanji and Zathura where the kid protagonists are depicted as adults.
- Cool Versus Awesome: A robot accidentally shoots a lion's ear. So the lion attacks it and they cause havoc during their fight.
- Ear Ache: When the robot attempts to shoot Dan, it accidentally shoots the lion's ear instead.
- Fan Sequel: It is a fan made 3rd instalment to the Jumanji/Zathura books where the kid protagonists are depicted as adults. And it happens to be also a crossover with Dan Vs.
- Flash Forward Fic: It sets decades after Jumanji and Zathura where the kid protagonists are depicted as adults, and they have to face the cursed games they played as kids once again.
- Forced Transformation: If a player dies during gameplay, (s)he is transformed into a living tribe mask known as a "manji" to serve as a slave to the master.
- Helping Hands: After the robot is blown apart, its hand is still able to move on its own and follow its target Dan. But Chris convinces it to help them to escape, and later the whole robot is fixed up.
- The Master: A living skeleton simply called "the master" is the villain who uses the magical board games to catch its prey and use him/her as its slave to build its golden city.
- Mythology Gag: While the story is supposed to set in the universe of Jumanji/Zathura books, the cards reading "You are promoted to a starship captain" and "Would you like to swing on a star?" never manifest in the books, those originated from the Zathura film adaptation.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted. Dan Mandel and Danny Budwing happen to share the same name; Daniel.
- Sand in My Eyes: Dan cries happy tears when he sees the souls of the cursed games' victims finally being at peace. When Chris asks him if he is crying, he answers that he only got something in his eye.
- Shout-Out: After learning the games can only be destroyed in the lava of Zathura, Judy remarks it sounds like the plot of a fantasy book.
- Single-Biome Planet: Zathura is said to be a jungle planet, its entire surface being covered with it.
- Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: When a player dies during a gameplay in one of the cursed board games, his/her soul is bounded to the master of the games who forces them to build its golden city. All the protagonists are disgusted by this and manage to defeat it.
- Two Girls to a Team: Elise and Judy are the only women among the protagonists.
- Versus Title: It is called "Dan versus Jumanji", as a tradition to the canon Dan Vs episodes.
