Other mistake: Judy tells Sarah, "You can win if you roll a 12." She rolls 3, meaning she would need a nine to win. When trapped in the floor, she is told she needs a 7 to win. But that is not correct. If I count correctly, you need 32 spots to win. I don't know if any get 32 or more.

Suggested correction: There are cross sections on the board. Meaning probably, if they land on one, the pawn will go in a different direction and either take longer or shorter to get to the end. It's impossible to know what path the pawns did take. The total number of squares is either 21, 26, or 30 squares to reach the end, depending on the route the pawn takes. But possibly even longer if the game wants that, as the pawns move on their own.

Audio problem: When Alan is trapped by the floor he is given a wooden log and then tosses it away. The foley artist forgot to add the thump of the log crashing on the floor.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the cop is about to encounter Alan, there are two passers-by behind the car who disappear in the close-up angle.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When the monkeys are in the garden, running away, just after Judy says "Beware", they cast no shadow either on the paved entrance, nor on the grass, plus they move as if in stop-motion, instead of the perfect movement they did before.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Van Pelt shoots the tire shelf in the store, the attached red wood triangle support is actually different between shots - note paint and dings. Furthermore, dirt marks on the tires appear, and two of the slotted heads of the screws, that are screwed into the anchor eye plate, are turned facing opposite directions (before it breaks).

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: When they are escaping from the giant mosquitos, Peter shifts the car into 1st gear, not drive. (00:40:40)

[Alan is explaining to Sarah why Van Pelt is chasing him.]
Sarah: Well, have you ever thought about sitting down and talking about your differences?
Alan: What are you, crazy? The man has a gun.
Sarah: Don't ever call me crazy, Alan. Ever. Because everyone in this town has been calling me crazy ever since I told the cops you were sucked into a board game.

Question: When Judy was stung by that plant and she collapsed, I never really understood what happened. She collapsed but was she poisoned and killed or just paralyzed? Anybody have the faintest idea? That's the only bit I never understood. I thought she was shot by poisonous darts...

Hamster

Answer: Since the barb was poisonous, she was dying. This is seen when she begins looking pale and a few seconds later she isn't moving. Finishing the game was the only way to save her life.

Chosen answer: She was just temporarily immobilized by the venom - it wears off after a few minutes.

The Doctor

No, it doesn't. Alan said the purple plants shoot poisonous barbs. After being hit, by them, Judy was slowly being poisoned to death.
