Our Story

Feathered Journey began in 2018 when four passionate game developers met at the Global Game Jam in San Francisco. United by their love for classic arcade games, especially the iconic Chicken Road concept, they decided to create a modern mobile version that would capture the addictive gameplay while adding new elements for today's players.

In a small apartment in San Francisco's Mission District, the team spent countless nights refining their vision for a Chicken Road inspired adventure that would focus purely on skill, strategy, and fun. Unlike many mobile adaptations that added gambling elements to the classic formula, our founders were committed to creating a game suitable for players of all ages.

After six months of development and beta testing, Feathered Journey was released to immediate acclaim. Players appreciated our fresh take on the Chicken Road concept, with our distinctive art style and innovative gameplay mechanics. What began as a passion project has grown into a thriving studio with over 20 talented individuals working to expand the Feathered Journey universe.

Today, with over 5 million downloads worldwide, Feathered Journey stands as one of the most successful modern interpretations of the Chicken Road formula, proving that classic arcade concepts can find new life in the mobile era when executed with passion and respect for the original.
