About Us

Our Story

Founded in 2015 in Berlin, Germany, Chicken Road Games began as a small team of four passionate developers who shared a vision: to create mobile games that are both accessible and deeply engaging. Our founders, who previously worked at major European game studios, noticed a gap in the market for casual games that combined simple mechanics with sophisticated progression systems.

The idea for our flagship game "Chicken Road" came during a team brainstorming session in a small café near Brandenburg Gate. Inspired by classic arcade games and modern mobile sensibilities, we set out to reimagine the age-old question of "why did the chicken cross the road?" into a delightful gaming experience.

After 18 months of development and extensive beta testing across European markets, Chicken Road launched in 2017 to immediate acclaim. What began as a modest success quickly grew into a phenomenon, with millions of downloads across Europe within the first year.

Today, our team has grown to over 35 talented individuals from 12 different European countries, united by our passion for creating games that bring joy to players of all ages. We've expanded our Berlin headquarters and opened a second office in Barcelona to better serve our growing community.

Mission & Values

At Chicken Road Games, our mission is to create mobile gaming experiences that bring joy, connection, and moments of delight to players across the globe. We believe that games should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gaming experience, or device capability.

We strive to develop games that can be picked up in an instant but offer depth and progression that keeps players engaged for months or even years. Our focus is on creating gaming moments that fit seamlessly into daily life, providing brief escapes that brighten someone's day, whether they're commuting to work or taking a short break.

By combining intuitive gameplay with charming characters and European design sensibilities, we aim to build games that transcend cultural boundaries while maintaining their unique identity and charm.
