Our History

From Idea to Adventure

Adventure Quest began in 2023 when our founders, Marina Rossi and Paolo Bianchi, identified a gap in the mobile gaming market. They noticed that many popular "road crossing" games incorporated gambling mechanics that could potentially harm vulnerable players.

With backgrounds in both game development and behavioral psychology, they set out to create an alternative that would capture all the excitement and challenge of games like Chicken Road, but without any gambling elements.

Working from a small studio in Bari, Italy, our team of six passionate developers spent eighteen months crafting a game that focuses purely on skill, strategy, and adventure. The first version of Adventure Quest launched in early 2025 and quickly gained popularity for its engaging, ethical gameplay.
