Our strategy for Angry Birds Birdday Party (Birthday Party) level 19-11 is to toss the White bird over the main structure, bombing near the stone bridge and breaking the triangular support of the left TNT. Loft the Pink bird between the two structures, using her bubbles to clear the remaining pigs. The score in the video below is 111,240.
Version 2022:
I don’t see how 140k+ scores can be achieved on this level without powerups. Is there a strategy I have missed?
Agrree. I would like to know the strat to try to improve my score.
Removed for the time being.
I don’t think there is a strategy. Mt shot, I think, hit the point of the top wall between the two TNTs. Both dropped and exploded simultaneously and pushed everything in a wave leftward. I haven’t come close to repeating it.
Rather than the top one, I think the bottom triangle is the essential one. Destroying the top one just makes the TNT sit on the bottom wooden triangle. The video method does work well. Cleared the level by using the first two birds only.
One bird 135,830 got lucky with the top TNT and as it fell it wiped out the whole lot.
Same fluke shot for me – wiped everything to a score of 140,750 –
yes… same shot… a very, very lucky strike w the white bird.. egg drop and TNT sets off the whole level.
136K.
I managed a flukey, non power up score of 132250. Took a screen shot to prove its not a power up attempt, too.
Spent a few minutes trying the method listed and had a completely random explosion that travelled through the main structure. Only one TNT box fell but the explosion seemed to ripple through from right to left so I’d say that scores around the 135k mark are entirely possible without powers.
Yep as above. Usual shot as per the video but the top TNT exploded very much harder than usual and wiped out just about everything. Second TNT stayed intact.
Exactly what happened to me. Upper TNT exploded huge.
I think I hit it perfectly either right on the stone corner or just under that stone corner….and wham!!!!! Blew everything to pieces. 4 spare birds.
Trying to get that fluke shot all morning. Managed to get both TNTs to fall, but still no magic. SIGH.
I didn’t get the lower TNT to explode….just the upper one going off huge.
I just missed the 1-Birder by one Pig @bonneypattycat, the trick is in the upper left TNT box, if you hit it just right everything goes kablooey. I’ll keep trying and let you know if I get it.
I did get a 1-birder (maybe 2?), but not much damage done. Guess I will go try again…
Pink lifted and destroyed the entire front end after the back end was destroyed by white and the dropping TNT. It’s hard to predict how pink will respond so it was a real eye-opener to see that much lumber and stone raised that high and dropped with such force to pulverize virtually every piece of wood. A 2-bird raw score of 100,060 with 3 extra birds.
Hi,
if you need some help for the right strategy:

I suspect the meeting between the hat of the bird and the TNT to be very explosive!
This level hates me. I really appreciate your post @bastieroxxor, but alas, I am still stuck at 128k. Whatever the magic is, I don’t think it is the combination of the hat and TNT. Many times I have seen the two meet, and well, nothing. So, so frustrating…
Well, what do you know I finally got the big blast, but of course one pig remained. If not for him I would be sitting on 143k. Take a look while I go bang my head on a wall…
http://angrybir.de/VZmJa3
Woaw BPC! I understand your “disappointment” !
But congrats 148k!!! I have to come back to this hateful level now..
Thanks @bastieroxxor. What was really aggravating on that attempt , which I conveniently “forgot” to mention, was that I choked on popping the remaining pig with Stella.
Yes, @bonneypattycat I too flubbed with Stella after the “big bang” and to make matters worse, I messed up the next bird too. With Stella, instead of taking the shot that I knew would work, I went for one that I thought would give more points. My head continues to bang on the wall.
@bastieroxxor @bonneypattycat Does anyone else think the results depend on which hat the bird is wearing? I haven’t gotten the big bang, but would be interested to know if it is the red top hat, or if not, some other one.
@mvnla, I considered the possibility it might depend on which style hat worn by white, so I kept a watchful eye. I had smaller bangs resulting in only destroying the right side, the really Big Bang, and ones in between. The hats varied, but in the Big Bang, it was the pink and white cone hat. I don’t think it matters though.
The only semi-consistent thing I noticed was the location of white bird when she makes the drop. On my iPad, fully zoomed out, I aimed for the light pink cloud line that looks like an upside down smile, under the first TNT. No higher, or lower than that line. For a while I thought it was the top of the smile, as that is where I had pretty good luck, and bastieroxxo too judging by his picture. On my really Big Bang, it was slightly to the left of that mark.
Hope this helps :)
didn’t see a pattern/assumed it was random: i was just playing for the top tnt to drop cleanly each and every time (to force my luck), by hitting the triangle below the tnt cleanly. every once in a while (every 30 mins or so; happened 5 times) this gave a big blast with the amount of destruction (with scores varying between 125k until my current 143,790 with which i’m ok, though 148k is awesome) seeming to depend (correct me if i’m wrong) on how high/low it exploded. so except for making the tnt fall i was also playing to make the egg clear the path of the tnt to make the latter detonate low enough (which is the case for trajectories similar to the one in the picture).
I too thought the TNT had to fall low, but after a while, I realized if I was watching the TNT fall, the bang wasn’t going to happen. On the really Big Bang, the TNT had barely been dislodged and had just begun it’s descent.
ah, i see. thanks. still, i would be very interested to know what it is (if anything) that does provoke the big bangs (and when). having a recording facility would be convenient to analyse what’s going on here. the people putting recording videos up, should we able to give some clues (but who’s going to go through so many attempts just for that?). alternatively one might ask rovio; in the add for these new levels they didn’t mention big bangs; maybe they’re meant as a birdday surprise.
Just replayed this level to try for a better score and no such luck. Noticed that the hats are gone and do not show on the birds anymore.
on this level, 135,890. tried to do as the video showed, and when i dropped the egg, he went up and broke the tnt, and something blew up underneath and litterally took out the entire board in one pig. Never would have believed it had i not seen it. I am guessing the bird egg and tnt in close proximity created an extra big bang
One more thing about this hateful level: I thought it was me accidentally touching the screen, but during my thousand plus attempts to get the Big Bang, I noticed Stella will occasionally self-launch, more than once ruining a potentially high score attempt. As if this level wasn’t aggravating enough…
This happened to me as well BPC! Dunno what caused it as my finger was no where near my screen, but off she flew! Thankfully it was a bad shot or I’d be miffed as well!! And ooopsy didn’t read down far after your comment about getting the Big Bang but it appears I’m not alone with the stupid mustache pig staying laughingly alive!! :/
Aww @Kimmiecv i got a big bang..but i feel like Yukon Cornielus
Phttph pthhpth nuttin’
I had that happen oooh about 5xs or more but then The One Hit @Kathy and it was glorious!! Except for that stupid pig sitting there gawfing, but he got his in the end!! Just keep at it you’ll get the good Big Bang!! ;D
I can’t get a big bang like everyone else, even after trying for almost two days! I’ll just hang my aching head and take what I got with two birds.
Thx to everyone who posted their own 1-bird strategies!I figured out that the egg need to take out everything below the wooden right triangle close to second bridge.TNT blew up right at the bottom and took out everything.
Finally got a one-bird solution but I honestly have no idea how it happened. I was throwing the 1st bird to break the triangular wood holding the upper TNT and, after dropping the egg, everything just blew up and took out the entire level. I really, really wish I had been paying more attention but I sometimes get distracted when playing the same level over and over and over for hours…lol.
I believe I have figured out what happens to cause the “Big Bang”. I had it happen and I was watching pretty closely. First, as usual, the bird hits the wood beneath the top tnt causing it to fall. Then, the falling tnt blows up right next to the lower tnt causing them both to explode at the same time. That much I am pretty sure of, but what causes the tnt to explode in that auspicious place isn’t quite so clear. It is possible that the bird body bounces into it setting it off; but that seems unlikely as it is encased in protective cement (or whatever that covering is) It is also possible that that cement gets knocked off before it falls. In that case, it might go off just from falling, or certainly being hit with the bird body without the cement coating would set it off. I think that is the most likely.
This is really a complicated level…….There are 2 different Big Bangs. The one I describe above, and one not involving the lower tnt. Both are similar in destructiveness. When I got the one described above, one pig was left and my score was 89,000 so had the last pig been zapped on that shot the score would have been at least 134,000 On the other one, the tnt dropped to the bottom and the big bang happened, but the lower tnt stayed intact. I didn’t notice anything different about the shot, but the hat must have been involved. The top hat ended up right next to where the tnt exploded.
@stocktoad thank you for the detailed Big Bang Theory (x2). I remember spending hours on this level a while back & never seeing it, & more of the same today, not a Bang in sight. At least I know sort of what to look for, though I think I’m about ready to move on. But thank you anyway!
Very nice score, congrats! :)
@stocktoad It can’t be the two TNTs going off at the same time (though it sure sounded plausible!). In my screenshot of my Big Bang aftermath, you can see the lower TNT did not blow at all:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/bonneypattycat/album/picture/2456/
@bonneypattycat You must not have read my second posting detailing 2 different Big Bangs including one where the lower TNT didn’t blow. Did you just get the great 148k score?
@stocktoad Oh sorry, I did not see your other post.
I got the really big Big Bang when the level first came out. I played the level for days, no doubt thousands of times before getting 148k. As I posted above, I did get one other really Big Bang, but one pig managed to survive. I haven’t tried again since, no idea if it is still possible.
after watching @yuriyigolkin ‘s vid
here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kGIRfIdyF4
I think I can tell what happens at least somewhat.
The tnt breaks out of the stone box and explodes on or next to the rightmost small stone block shooting it leftward. You can see from this vid that it may be possible to cause this with a strategically dropped egg as well ( which happened to me.
I do think that a hat getting between the stone block as it shoots left could cause even more damage. For all you vid cappers this would be a great one to catch so we could slow it down. @xerbic or @e-star comes to mind!
oops that should be @xebic88
ATTENTION. With the new update today rovio has made changes. In the past it has seemed when they have changed a level there is a bug fix happening. The background has changed in this level with the latest update. I have yet to experience the “big bang” before the update and will be interested to see if it is still possible after it. This may be similar to the santa hat glitch that was responsible for such crazy actions in the past. any idea @amslimfordy?
I wasn’t aware of any such glitch.
well I guess maybe calling it a glitch may be a bad term on my part. @amslimfordy the hats were nearly indestructible before the update and as such could cause erratic behavior when struck. as an example watch the vid from yuri I posted and you can watch the hats destroying anything that they got compressed by including exploding the TNT. The example I saw most frequent;y was that the Falling TNT encased in the stone box would immediately explode if it touched one. Anyway the current top score will be now unreachable if that is the case because the “big bang” behavior was caused by those hats ( or that is my best guess).
from other comments they *may* have fixed the S-15 glitch too.
I am clear out in April and I got 3 “big bangs” in 45 minutes of flinging. The first 2 didn’t get the mustache pig and I had to use Stella for 2 bird score, but I kept trying and finally got a “Big Bang” with all pigs gone! This was on my second day on this level, the first day no ” big bangs” or I think a few but they were positioned wrong. Second day three of them, finally! I don’t think they removed the “big bang” with update. I am glad because I was going to give up with lower score because without the Big Bang you really can’t score in the upper top 100.
okay after experimenting very briefly I can say that they HAVE change the behavior of the hats. they are now very easily destructable and are not causing the erractic behavior they were before. If you want to keep playing this level as is DO NOT UPDATE until you are done.
After working on this level during the challenge, it mystifies me why anyone would want to try to improve their scores. It is a frustrating level using the “egg drop soup” method and, reading current @swelld posts, they are making changes that may or may not have impact on scoring. Is anyone having any luck cranking up their scores a significant amount?
I had 120,000 yesterday.
I wondered what all this talk of a Big Bang was about.
No Big Bang in a whole hour playing the level.
Then 2 come one after the other, both 1 birders.
131K then 133K.
Not spectacular but it got me in the top 50. Oh Yes.
My work here is done
I had two big bangs in about 200 tries, so it seems its still in there. Very rare though.
Glad to hear that the “Big Bang” (a very good TV show) may not have been eliminated with the update. Considering, as a Nook user, I just gained access to Birdday Party level 19. I haven’t seen this explosion yet,but I hope to! On another note, I think these cakes are some bizarre form of dense fruitcake. I just witnessed the cake on the right fly all the way from its starting position in a high arc all the way off of the left side of the screen and NOT destruct upon impact!
Hmmmmmm……fruitcake??? I don’t think so @philsey . If they were fruitcakes they might survive themselves, but they would definitely do some damage when they hit. Since these are indestructible, but very light I’m thinking maybe month old angelfood. Or maybe they are Styrofoam with a Kevlar cover.
A very good point. Maybe Angel Food Cake?
I just scored 144,040. It was a one birder and my shot detonated both tnt’s. I was trying to mimic the first shot in the video and land the w/b egg on the cake.
After a few hundred flings, last night I finally got that “big bang” others described. Boosted my score from 125k to 143k. I have no clue what caused it.
A few flings before that, I had a slightly-bigger-than-usual explosion on the first shot which gave me a one-birder for 121k. But the explosion on my high score was much bigger, just leveled everything.
I clearly remember posting my screenshot taken immediately after the Big Bang giving me 148k. I posted it on Christmas Day and described it as a present from the Bird Gods. This thread is a bit messy, perhaps I just don’t see it?
Here it is again
http://angrybir.de/TmEVfz
PS I easily did this level a thousand times, maybe two thousand times before getting a really Big Bang. Along the way, I had a few smaller ones, but even those were far and few in between.
This magical BIG BANG explosion just won’t happen for me here. 1000s of resets after dropping the TNT won’t produce the result I’m looking for. I’d appreciate anyone who gets one recently to confirm with a post. Just wondering if these rarities are still possible after the updates.. Please add your device used…
@pjdambra: I guess I stopped trying to improve my high scores here, because it’s impossible without the big bangs. I’m on iPhone.
Has anyone, ever, seen a Big Bang since v5 came out? All the Big Bang posts are 2013 or prior and I’m hesitant to devote hours to trying to get one if it’s permanently gone along with the bird hats.
Would love to knoow. I just spent 2 hours flinging and then 200 tosses with TNT exploding and no big bangs. But hard to prove a negative.
Same here. More than 1000 tries… Giving up.
@grrtammy @cjcp @zolb @pjdambra @sharray Please see my strat posted below. I think it will improve your scores.
133710/2(so far). We seem to be living in a post-big bang environment on this level, but other than the video strat there hasn’t been any high-scoring strats that account for this.
So…here is a strange 2-bird one that somehow works: Launch Matilda aiming for the triangular block below the upper TNT. Do NOT drop the egg, just let Matilda destroy that block with her weight. The ideal scenario, which only happens occasionally, is this: Matilda drops straight down followed by the TNT. The TNT bounces off her head to the left, into the middle structure, then it detonates. Having the TNT in this location when it detonates makes a BIG difference in damage. My highest scores tended to occur when almost everything to the left of mustache pig was taken out. The second shot is dictated by debris, but usually a high loft that comes down just to the left of the rightmost structure is pretty effective.
One-birders are possible and I did get one so far, but it was only good for 122K. Of course, this isn’t as good as the big bang, but it does allow one to get scores north of 130K. s
Ummm…the suggestion for the second bird should read “to the right of the leftmost structure”. I’m dyxlexic, and I’m mad…D-A-M.
Update 137440/2. Still trying, but I don’t think there is much more with this strat. Got several more one-birders, the best one was good for only 128K.
Nice strat, thx for sharing! 8k more…
133634/2
This seems to be highest Classics score, as far as I can tell. Same as video.
