Chicken Island 101: Your Beginner Guide
If Scissor Seven has a heart, it’s Chicken Island—a tiny, off‑the‑map place where people allegedly don’t eat chicken, assassins run hair salons, and world‑shaking conflicts somehow keep crashing onto its shores.
Scissor Seven Season 3 Episode 2 - Dai Bo & Seven
This is your quick guide to the island’s key locations, factions, and running gags—and just a teaser of how we’re bringing them into our upcoming mobile game, Scissor Seven: Shadow Clash (SSSC).
What is Chicken Island?
Chicken Island is a small, remote island where Seven, Daibo, and Xiao Fei live and run their barber shop. It sits at the “bottom corner of the map,” far from the big kingdoms and major powers… and yet trouble somehow finds it anyway. The island’s biggest selling point? Dai Bo did not have to live in fear of being eaten, likely why he chose it as home.
Scissor Seven Season 2 Episode 1 - Super Scissors
Chicken Island is where the show’s “everyday life” lives—until it suddenly doesn’t. One moment you’re watching silly slice-of-life antics, the next moment an assassin conflict is unfolding in the street like it’s a perfectly normal Tuesday.
That balance of warmth, absurdity and escalation is what makes Chicken Island home to many fans.
Key locations on Chicken Island
Dai Bo J Hair Salon
Seven’s day job and the perfect front for assassination work. This little shop is where clients come for haircuts, gossip, and occasionally, contracts. Don't be surprised if Seven's missing on his shift, Cola probably dragged him off somewhere to skate or scoot around.

Elementary School
Where the next generation of Chicken Islanders studies. It shows the more peaceful, slice‑of‑life and well, normal side of the island—when there isn’t some huge fight about to ensue. Tip: Avoid the Granny who's here to pick her grandson every day. You really don't want to mess with her.

Previously, during user testing, a highly anticipated feature was that everyone really hoped to live, go shopping, and meet various people on Chicken Island. The latest update from the developer's log mentioned that that idea was actually incorporated this idea into the game - from A Qi's Dabao Ding, to Zhujiang Restaurant, Ruozhi Primary School etc. You can look forward to running a beef offal stall on Chicken Island just like Seven!
