About Us
From a simple idea to a globally beloved game, the journey of Chicken Road has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Chicken Road began in 2018 when a small team of five passionate developers gathered in a tiny apartment in San Francisco with a shared vision: to reimagine the classic road-crossing game concept for modern mobile gaming while keeping it completely free from gambling mechanics.
Led by our founder Sarah Chen, who had previously worked on several successful mobile games, the initial Chicken Road prototype was developed over a weekend game jam. What started as a fun project quickly revealed its potential when early testers couldn't put it down.
After securing initial funding in 2019, the Chicken Road team expanded and moved into our first proper office. We spent months refining the core gameplay mechanics, designing charming characters, and building environments that would challenge players' reflexes and strategy without relying on random chance or gambling elements.
When Chicken Road launched in spring 2020, it quickly gained popularity during a time when people around the world were looking for entertaining distractions. Today, with over 50 million downloads worldwide, Chicken Road continues to evolve while staying true to our original vision of creating a game that's fun, challenging, and accessible to everyone.
At Chicken Road, we're guided by core principles that shape everything we create.
We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mobile gaming. At Chicken Road, we believe that innovation isn't just about new features—it's about finding fresh ways to make crossing the road more exciting, challenging, and rewarding.
The Chicken Road community is at the heart of everything we do. We actively listen to player feedback, engage with our fans on social media, and continuously improve the game based on what our community tells us they want to see in Chicken Road.
We believe games should be fun, not exploitative. That's why Chicken Road is completely free from gambling mechanics and predatory monetization. Our success comes from creating a game so enjoyable that players want to support its continued development.
