Chickenhare and the treasure of Spiking-Beard

About the Game

Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking Beard is a 3D platformer set in the universe of the beloved comic books and animated films. An original story, hand-crafted worlds, and three heroes who are absolutely not ready for what is about to happen to them.

It is charming, it is funny, and it is genuinely beautiful to look at.

Three unlikely heroes

You play as all three of them, switching freely as the moment demands. They bicker, they stumble, they somehow save the day. You will have a favourite by the end of the first level.

• Chickenhare uses his ears to glide - reaching platforms, crossing gaps, and finding paths that nobody else can get to. Reckless by nature. Usually fine.

• Abe uses his shell to smash through walls and structures blocking your path. He is extremely cautious for someone whose main move is to throw himself at things.

• Meg is a martial arts master. She kicks, she jumps, she combines both to reach heights the others cannot. And when she is completely surrounded by enemies, she has a trick nobody sees coming.

Every level is built around all three of them. If you are stuck, you probably have the wrong character.

Worlds worth getting lost in.

Five completely different environments, each one hand-crafted and packed with secrets. Torch-lit castle corridors give way to sky-high rope bridges, then bamboo cities, then underground chambers with an eerie green glow.

Every world hides something. Paths that only open with the right character. Puzzles that reward curiosity. The feeling that you have almost certainly missed something worth going back for.

One more thing

Hidden inside the game are clues that lead to a real-world treasure hunt. Nobody has found it yet.

Best played with a controller

Chickenhare was designed with a controller in mind and that is how it feels best. Plug one in and you will know immediately.

From the page to the screen - and now this.

Chickenhare began as a comic book series by Chris Grine, full of warmth, humour, and genuinely great character design. It became two animated films. This is the first proper video game - an original adventure set in the same universe, faithful to everything that made the IP special. If you grew up with these characters, you will feel it immediately. If you are new to Chickenhare, this is a wonderful place to start.
