The game was released on November 3, 2005, in the U.S. to coincide with the then-upcoming film's release on November 11. A Game Boy Advance version was planned, but was later canceled.

Gameplay

The game focuses on 2 brothers who are trying to beat a game called Zathura, a game that twists reality.
