About Chicken Road

Discover the story behind our innovative mobile game development studio

Our Story

Chicken Road began as a small passion project in 2015 when three friends - Alex, Maria, and Daniel - decided to combine their expertise in game design, programming, and digital art to create mobile games that would captivate players worldwide. Working from a tiny apartment in Prague, they developed their first hit game, "Chicken Road," which quickly gained popularity for its addictive gameplay and charming characters.

The unexpected success of their debut title allowed the team to expand, moving into their first office space in Prague's vibrant tech district in 2016. Building on this momentum, they released "Chicken Road 2" the following year, which further cemented their reputation for creating entertaining and visually appealing mobile experiences.

As the mobile gaming market evolved, so did Chicken Road. In 2018, the company pivoted to include casino-style games in their portfolio, introducing titles like "Plinko," "Sweet Bonanza," and "Book of Dead" that combined engaging gameplay with opportunities for players to win rewards. This diversification strategy proved successful, allowing Chicken Road to grow from a team of three passionate developers to a thriving studio of over 30 talented professionals.

Today, Chicken Road continues to push boundaries in mobile game development, with millions of downloads across our diverse portfolio of titles. Our headquarters in the heart of Prague serves as a creative hub where innovation, imagination, and technical excellence come together to create memorable gaming experiences for our global audience.
