107 free Angry Birds trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Angry Birds started as a sketch of scowling wingless birds by a designer at a Finnish studio that was close to going under. Fifty-one work-for-hire games later, Rovio bet what money it had left on a slingshot puzzle, released it in December 2009, and spent 275 days at number one on the App Store. This quiz follows the whole franchise: the original game and its episodes, the flock's powers, why the enemies became green pigs, Angry Birds Space and its NASA tie-in, the Star Wars crossover, Bad Piggies, Angry Birds 2, the two theatrical movies, and Sega buying the company in 2023. Easy questions ask which company makes the games and what the pigs stole. Medium ones cover Chuck's colour, the Mighty Eagle and Piggy Island. The hard end wants the Flash game that inspired the physics, the soft-launch title of Angry Birds 2, the name of the ice ball villain in the second movie and how many downloads it took the series to reach four billion. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the games, films and Rovio, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up. Good for kids who grew up on the games, adults who lost 2010 to them, and anyone hosting a family quiz night.

Q 01What colour is Matilda, the bird that drops an explosive egg?
White
White: Matilda is the flock's peace-loving mother hen in the cartoons, an odd fit for a bird whose game move is bombing pigs with an egg; Maya Rudolph voices her on film.
Q 02What have the green pigs stolen from the birds in the original Angry Birds game?
Their eggs
Their eggs: the theft was written in late, after test players said they couldn't see why such docile-looking pigs deserved the birds' attacks.
Q 03What device do players use to launch the birds?
A slingshot
A slingshot was missing from early builds: birds were flung with a finger swipe, and the designers first thought a slingshot too obvious, until test players showed it was what made the game clear.
Q 04Which Flash game inspired the physics-based gameplay of Angry Birds?
Crush the Castle
Crush the Castle, an Armor Games browser title with a trebuchet hurling stones at castles, was the gameplay model; the birds' look came first, from a sketch.
Q 05Designer Jaakko Iisalo's concept sketch gave the birds beaks, a rounded shape and what else?
Furrowed eyebrows
Furrowed eyebrows: Iisalo's drawing of round, cross-looking birds had no clear game behind it, but colleagues liked the characters so much that they built the gameplay around them.
Q 06What real-world event is widely believed to have inspired making the enemies pigs?
The 2009 swine flu pandemic
The 2009 swine flu pandemic: a Rovio spokesman said the sickly green pigs were born of the scare, though the game's designer says he simply drew a pig he had been sketching since he was 10.
Q 07What was the first episode of levels in the original Angry Birds called?
Poached Eggs
Poached Eggs: the game launched with only this level pack, and it was Apple featuring it on the front page of its UK App Store, weeks after release, that sent it to number one there.
Q 08Which special bird from 'Ham 'Em High' can clear any uncompleted level once per hour?
Mighty Eagle
Mighty Eagle: the player flings a can of sardines and the giant bird swoops in to flatten the level; it arrived as a paid in-app purchase.
Q 09What is the maximum star rating a player can earn on a level?
Three stars
Three stars: each level awards one to three stars based on score, with a bonus for every unused bird, so finishing with birds to spare is the route to a full rating.
Q 10Roughly how many downloads had Angry Birds reached when Rovio marked the game's first anniversary?
50 million
50 million: Rovio announced the milestone as the game turned one, and by then Android players were getting it free, with adverts paying the bill instead.
Q 11What was the 2022 remake of the original game called at launch?
Rovio Classics: Angry Birds
Rovio Classics: Angry Birds was rebuilt from the ground up in Unity because the original's in-house engine could no longer be kept running on newer phones.
Q 12Under what hashtag did fans campaign for the relisting of the delisted original games?
#BringBack2012

Q 13What colour is Chuck, the fast bird?
Yellow
Yellow: Chuck is the speedy yellow bird who rockets forward when tapped; Josh Gad voices him in the films.
Q 21Which country singer voices Earl, a pig musician, in The Angry Birds Movie?
Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton was asked to voice Earl and sing a song in the film, and said yes on the understanding that he could write it himself; the result was 'Friends'.

Sony Pictures
Sony Pictures won the worldwide distribution rights in 2013, while Rovio developed, produced and paid for the film itself.
Q 23The Angry Birds Movie's $352 million gross ranked second among video game films at the time, behind which other adaptation?
Warcraft
Warcraft took $439 million worldwide in 2016, yet only about a tenth of it came from cinemas in the United States and Canada.
Q 14What does the black bird do when the player taps the screen mid-flight?
Explodes
Explodes: Bomb detonates on impact or when tapped, levelling everything nearby; the film gives him intermittent explosive disorder.
Q 15Which small orange bird debuted in Angry Birds Seasons before joining the original game?
Bubbles
Bubbles looks like a scrawny little bird on the launcher, but one tap puffs him up like a balloon, shoving blocks and pigs aside.
Q 16Which green bird has boomerang-like abilities?
Hal
Hal wheels round and flies back at roughly double speed when tapped, so one trick is to fire the toucan backwards and tap to send him rocketing forwards.
Q 17Who voices Red in The Angry Birds Movie?
Jason Sudeikis
Jason Sudeikis added lines of his own so that Red would draw some empathy, because the directors did not want their abrasive hero to be unlikable.
Q 18In The Angry Birds Movie, Red is sentenced to what after snapping at a customer?
Anger management class
