Play Mini Games!
Earn points and unlock parts to build the famous car Il Tempo Gigante from the movie! Race down the track on Solans tricycle, collect flowers while avoiding angry bees as Ludvig and much more.
Enjoy the engaging Story Mode!
Following the events of the original movie, you will help Theodor build the racing car Il Tempo Gigante. Can you make it all the way to the top of the podium in the Flåklypa Grand Prix?
The game has been developed in close collaboration with Caprino Filmcenter and is based on Kjell Aukrusts characters and environment, and Ivo Caprino’s great film success.
