This study aims to develop an interactive learning medium in the form of an educational game called “Ethnotopia,” based on Roblox and designed with an ethnopedagogical approach that integrates the local wisdom of Trenggalek into primary school learning. The development model used is ADDIE, which consists of five stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. Data were collected through expert validation (content and media experts), as well as small-group and large-group trials involving fifth-grade students and teachers at SDN 2 Surodakan. Instruments used included validation sheets, pretest and posttest questions, and teacher and student response questionnaires. The validation results indicated that the media was highly valid, with feasibility scores of 93.75% from content experts and 90% from media experts. Practicality levels based on teacher responses reached 96.7%, and student responses reached 85%, both categorized as very practical. In terms of effectiveness, the average pretest score was 44.2, while the posttest average increased to 84.4, resulting in an N-Gain score of 0.72, which falls into the high category. In addition, 22 out of 25 students (88%) achieved the minimum mastery criterion (KKM) of 75, which is categorized as very high. Therefore, the “Ethnotopia” educational game is considered valid, practical, and effective as a learning medium that integrates the local wisdom of Trenggalek into primary school education.
