Shirley The book (not Jumanji) would have been published before 2017, but I'm not sure how much before. It's about children who enter a game of some sort and have to find solutions to problems that arise. I am unsure if it is a novel or picture book, but it's aimed at about 9-year-olds. Many thanks for your help.

No, that’s not it, but thank you for replying.

Sumayyah (kaatiba) | 36 comments Anything else you remember about the book? cover or anything?

I found some books with a similar premise, is it any of these?

1) Trapped in a Video Game by Dustin Brady
2) Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes
3) The Big Joke Game by Scott Corbett

No more clues unfortunately. It's a long shot, I know. Everyone is so helpful though. It's not a video game. Could be The Big Joke. I'll have a closer look at that one.
