Germany’s Europa-Park is set to release a new video game inspired by its mascots Ed & Edda, as well as a new family attraction and a major motion picture.
In partnership with video game developer Tivola, the new kart racing game is based on the 2025 motion picture Grand Prix of Europe, a co-production between entertainment company Mack Magic and Warner Bros. Film Productions Germany.
The game, titled Ed & Edda: Grand Prix – Racing Champions, brings Ed & Edda to video game format for the first time ever. Players will race across 12 tracks set in landmark European locations.

They can unleash unique driver abilities, wield power-ups, customise vehicles, and chose from eight familiar characters, including Ed & Edda.
“With Tivola Games and Jumpgate, we are excited to have strong partners who believe in our Ed & Edda storyworld by bringing the beloved characters to PCs and consoles worldwide,” said Michael Mack, managing partner of Europa-Park.
“This will make the first feature film with the beloved Europa-Park mascots Ed & Edda more than just a movie: together with the new associated family attraction 2025 at Europa-Park, the video game Ed & Edda: Grand Prix – Racing Champions and many other licensed products, it is the start of a very unique transmedia project.
“With our transmedia strategy, we are convinced that we will build a long-term sustainable brand with content based around our characters.”
Ed & Edda: Grand Prix – Racing Champions is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam.
Europa-Park was founded in 1975 by Roland Mack and his father Franz. It has become one of the most visited tourist destinations in Germany with more than six million guests every year.
In July, Europa-Park reopened its Geisterschloss (Ghost Castle) attraction following a complete redesign and renovation.
