About Us

Our Story

Chiken-Chiken Road began in 2020 when a small group of passionate game developers in Sydney decided to create something uniquely Australian yet universally appealing. What started as a weekend project during the pandemic lockdown quickly evolved into a full-fledged mobile gaming phenomenon.

Our founder, James Walker, was watching his backyard chickens navigate around his garden when inspiration struck. "Why not create a modern, dynamic take on the classic chicken-crossing-the-road concept?" he thought. Within weeks, the first prototype was born, combining addictive gameplay with distinctly Australian landscapes and challenges.

By early 2021, our team had grown to eight dedicated professionals, and after six months of intensive development and testing, Chiken-Chiken Road was officially launched. The game exceeded all expectations, reaching 100,000 downloads in the first month alone. Today, with over a million players worldwide, we continue to expand our game with new features, levels, and characters, while staying true to our Australian roots.
