About Us - Family Road Adventure

Our Story

2018

The Beginning

Family Road Adventure began in a small apartment in Genova, Italy. Founders Marco Ricci and Sophia Bianchi, both parents and gaming enthusiasts, were frustrated by the lack of truly family-friendly mobile games. After watching their children play classic road-crossing games that often had gambling elements or were too challenging for younger players, they decided to create something better.

Building the Team

What started as a small passion project quickly grew as Marco and Sophia brought together a talented team of developers, artists, and education specialists. Their shared vision: to create a game inspired by classic road-crossing challenges like Chicken Road, but reimagined for family enjoyment without any gambling elements.
