Alex and Mike started Lethal Chicken Games while helping with the Hurricane Irma clean up in Ft. Myers in September 2017.  While sharing a tent overnight after chainsawing trees all day, neither could sleep.  So they talked about something they both loved... games and movies!  And by 2 a.m., What The Film?! was born.

At the beginning of 2018, the company was officially formed, a prototype was created and by July 2018 the game was on the shelves of Target as a Target exclusive!

The second game, Camping with Sasquatch has been a huge hit and is available online at Amazon.  

2023 brought the release of, Yeti Snowbrawl and 2024 launched Trash Dice both published through Big Discoveries.

In 2025 Lethal Chicken Games released four new games, Little Pig Little Pig, What's Under Your Bed?, Tortilla Takedown and Dice Batter. We create games that adults want to play that kids LOVE today. We continue to be in development on over a half dozen games and smearing joy through lighthearted, family-friendly games.

Mike Szalajko

Mike keeps saying, "That's just the way I think, there's something wrong with my head!"  He may be right.

Mike is an avid gamer and has helped write dozens of games before starting his own board game company.  He's been able to create awesome games, but somehow never wins at them.

Mike got his B.A. from Full Sail University in Sports Marketing and Media and has worked with both the WWE and Disney.  He's putting his degree to terrible use by throwing sports balls at a bunch of nerds, like Alex.

Alex Mackey

Alex is like a mullet, all business upfront, but a party in the back.  Half business and half creative is the perfect combination for building a board game empire.

Alex's background includes planning and buying media for companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Precor, Fox Television and more.  He's also produced and edited thousands of videos for clients such as Ferrari, Proctor & Gamble, Nokia, Disney, Porsche, Costume Designer's Guild, Maserati and many others!

And he had a movie at Sundance.  Bucket list item...check!
