A Wholesome Adventure for the Whole Family

Chickenhare and his loyal friends, Meg and Abe, are about to set out on their very first video game journey. Originally created by comic book author Chris Grine, this unlikely trio has already starred in two animated feature films – “Chickenhare & the Hamster of Darkness” in 2018 and “Chickenhare & the Secret of the Groundhog”- releasing alongside the game. Both films inspired kids around the world to believe in themselves, embrace friendship, and discover that our differences can be our greatest strengths.

For developer N-Zone, the leap into video games felt natural after seeing the first movie. Beneath the humor, courage, and heartfelt storytelling, there was a clear potential to create an interactive adventure. And what better way to bring the trio’s world to life than through a colorful, family-friendly 3D platformer?

An All-New Epic and Original Story

Staying true to the heart of the franchise was the top priority in development. Each hero’s personality was carefully translated into gameplay mechanics that feel both natural and rewarding. Chickenhare can glide with his long ears and leap to places no one else can reach. Meg is the fearless queen of combat, taking down multiple enemies with her skunk-like powers. And Abe, the wise turtle, uses his shell to smash barriers and withstand dangers that would overwhelm others.

These traits shaped the entire level design, encouraging players to swap between heroes to solve puzzles, overcome platforming challenges, and uncover secrets. At the same time, N-Zone went beyond simply adapting familiar stories. The team introduced an entirely new villain, the dreaded Spiking-Beard, who brings fresh challenges and expands the universe with new lore. The adorable – yet terrifying – hedgehog who serves as the game’s antagonist was born from a bedtime story shared between Vincenzo Bianca, CEO of N-Zone, and his four-year-old daughter. When she complained that her father’s beard was a little too prickly, Spiking-Beard was born. Alongside him, players will also uncover the legend of the Golden Feather, a mystical treasure tied to precious stones guarded by each kingdom—an element that deepens the sense of wonder and adventure at the heart of the game.

With guidance and support from nWave, the studio behind both films, N-Zone was given the freedom to build original lore while keeping the soul of the franchise intact.

Building Bonds Across Generations

Choosing a platformer was not only about matching the spirit of the films. For many of today’s parents, iconic platformers were their very first steps into the world of gaming. Chickenhare & the Treasure of Spiking-Beard pays homage to that era while offering kids the same kind of joyful introduction.

Though the game is single-player, it’s designed to be shared. Parents can guide their children through colorful levels, help them discover mechanics, or simply sit by and enjoy watching as puzzles are solved in creative ways. The thrill of chasing clues, uncovering secrets, and overcoming challenges together creates moments that will last a lifetime. This is a chance to pass on the love of gaming to a new generation, all while creating family memories that go far beyond the screen.
