Using the clue book that is available at the kiosk where you sign up, you will help find clues and determine who committed these dastardly crimes on board the Disney Dream. Our ship has three separate games to choose from, and we actually played two of them. It was for research, of course.
At the kiosk, you will take a detective badge, a map and a pencil. All good detectives need to take good notes, right? Once you are given the backstory on the crime at the main kiosk, you will be directed to start your mission. Like Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, you will go to different sections of the ship most of them are paintings , stand on the emblem on the floor, hold up your detective card or badge and a scene will play for you, giving you clues or valuable information needed to help solve the case.
Overall, it took us about an hour to complete each case. Give or take more or less time depending on your familiarity with the ship. So there you have it! The game will take you all over the Disney Dream, so navigating all of its levels really did help us get acquainted with the layout, which is not as easy as you would think, especially on the larger ships.

For starters, it's crammed with the daddest of dad jokes that make the ride so memorable. It's also got references to iconic scenes like those bathing Indian elephants or the rhino menacing explorers stuck up a tree.
But that's all superficial. Much like the ride itself, the Jungle Cruise board game is more of an 'experience' than a strategic adventure. While that doesn't make it one of the best board games or the sort of board game for adults you keep coming back to , it does provide a chilled-out hour or so that fans should enjoy and kids will love.
The Disney Jungle Cruise board game follows the same premise as the ride - passengers go on a dangerous trip through the rainforest with a funny yet inept skipper, meeting all sorts of perils along the way. Except in this case, you're the skipper… and you've got to lead your crew to safety. The more passengers and cargo you get over the finish line, the more points you'll have.
The skipper with the most points at the end wins. Well, almost. That task is harder than you might think. True to the story of the ride, things always seem to be going wrong on the Jungle Cruise. In fact, the dangers you'll encounter ranging from a pride of lions to man-eating piranhas are represented by the four cards you'll draw after moving up the board's river.
As dictated by their difficulty rating, these encounters will lose you a set number of passengers or pieces of cargo. Unfortunately, trying to speed past them won't help. That's because the number of cards you need to face is equal to your movement dice roll. Let's say you rolled a three. Yes, this means you can move three spaces ahead of the competition.
But you'll also have to face three of the four cards you drew. Slow and steady is better as a result: the faster you move, the riskier things become. This is where tactics become important.
Each encounter card tells you which side of the boat it affects, and they all have a difficulty rating that states how many dice you'll roll to decide the number of passengers - if any - that fall overboard.
As such, you'll probably want to choose the lower risk cards whenever possible, or the ones that affect an empty side of your boat. It's a juggling act that makes things more interesting. To heighten the tension, you'll need to be selective with whoever you sacrifice as well. Your passengers are made up of four families, and one of them is due to become the new owner of the Jungle Cruise company. Get members of that family to the end and you'll receive extra points.
The problem? You don't know which family has won the contract, and it changes every time you play. To narrow things down, you'll have to take detours and uncover clue tokens scattered along the board. That means you'll need to use the process of elimination to work out who you have to protect - and all without tipping off your opponents. This adds texture to gameplay, especially because your adversaries might not have seen the same Clue tokens you have.
