Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle instaling

The game probably retains a memory of previous play sessions, if only to ensure that it won't re-use the same threat twice. Just because the real world reverted doesn't mean the game jungle did.On that note, how does Alan's tree house still even exist? If Alan returned to 1969 at the end of the first film, before he even started playing the game, why is his tree house still intact if he never entered Jumanji in the new timeline?.So far as they know, there's no way that the same man could've been living in Jumanji for years and simultaneously running his family's shoe company. None of this film's characters suspect that the game sends its winners back to the date on which they'd initially started playing until Alex has it happen to him. Even if any of them recognized the name, there's no reason they'd have concluded that the previous jungle-dweller was that Alan Parrish.

One year after in 1996, Jumanji was found by Alex's father and the rest is history.

And they beat Jumanji and went back to 1969 then to 1995 normally. When Alan and Sarah first started Jumanji, it was 1969 and Alan got out in 1995. It's unclear what happened to the Parrishes during the years Alex spent in Jumanji, and there's the possibility the others were too concerned with their own predicament to wonder if it was one of those Parrishes or not. Alex already had enough time to digest the fact by the time he had his first Jumanji scene.From the looks of it, young Alex was a bit of a punk and a rocker, so he probably didn't really think much about the Parrishes.Assuming the school's name being 'Brantford High School' means the film takes place in Brantford, New Hampshire - nobody, especially Alex, noticed that the guy who built the tree house had the same name as the CEO of the town's biggest employer? Everyone knew the Parrishes, and the shoe company probably didn't go under between 19.
