Our strategy for Wreck the Halls level 21 is to lob the White birds into the crevices above the 2 TNTs. Use the first White bird above the left TNT and the second above the right TNT. With any luck, this should cause a large amount of damage and destroy all pigs aside from the far-left. Use the Blue Bird to topple the left-most tower. The score in the video below is 78,860.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.
75k
1st- w/b in high arc to the first tower killing almost the second and third pig in the first tower.
2nd- w/b to the last tower killing all the pigs there and blowing out the TNT.
3rd- b/b for finishing off.

Funny I used same strategy but reversed the first and second shot. Doesn’t seem to make any difference but I think this is like the third time in wreck the halls where I used the same strategy as you or marc (another apparent member of the up at 3 a.m. club) but exactly reversed order of shots! Same strategy as seen through a mirror!
mac has the advantage of being in France, so for him it is 9am if I remember correctly! I’m using the same strategy, but am only on 67k at the moment
Here I am in India and its 1330 so no problem for me too.
By the way, any idea of how to use the TNT because I find it useless.
Man thanks for pointing out that I’m the only loser up and posting at 3 a.m. HAHA!
As for TNT, on one shot early on I messed around just trying a few oddball things and for the left most one I exploded the egg per your same strategy and got a random piece of collateral damage to drop down and explode the TNT AFTER the pig had been killed and it made a little crack in the bottom ice block and piece of wood of first tower and they tipped like they were going to fall but straightened themselves up right at the last second! Thought they were going to fall and get some extra points for a two birder but they didn’t. I got the impression though that a better shooter with some patience could eventually get it to happen. The right one appears completely useless.
Sorry I just duplicated the shot that I was talking about and it was a piece of debris from the exploding egg that made the crack in the ice and wood to get the tower to teeter, not the TNT explosion. My bad. I guess that leads me to agree that the TNT is completely useless. Sorry for the hasty post earlier!
OK sorry for the ridiculous number of postings hopefully birdleader or someone will delete and neaten things up later (thanks in advance!) but I am now back to thinking the left most TNT could result in a two birder with some luck. Just used the strategy of the first left side tower first and and long plank of wood bounced down at a straight up and down alignment, hit the TNT and it blew straight up and hit the top left most piggie. He rolled all the way to the edge and was literally just a few pixels away from falling off. I now think that this will eventually happen to someone just right and the piggie will roll off letting someone complete level with 2 birds and higher score but I think it will definitely be due more to luck than shooting.
From the posts below looks like maybe there might be an advantage to the order after all?
Yup I second that because if you do the 2nd tower first you get more debris flying than hitting the first one first.
Perhaps, although I’ve had better luck with version 1, currently at 78500 with it.
Oh and there is a very simple two birder here, but it doesn’t yield any where near the same points as far as I can tell – haven’t got it above 70k yet!
Hello PPM and fellow swine killers! Actually I’m an American living in France having the luxury to download at 09:00 CET, not that its helping me. Anyway, I’ll be glad when “Wreck the Halls” is finished, this has not been Episode!
1-21, 82260 w/3 Birds using the same strat and always hoping for more collateral damage.. thx
same kind of method but didnt score as high..can say that 66K will get 3*…might be 65K target
84100. Same method as @iamMighty, but in a different order: 2, 1, 3.
Yes, the reverse order seems better. 80k.
74,260 – the trick is to really let the eggs on birds 1 and 2 drop as late as possible..after explosion the heads of the white chicken (with a bit of luck) will bounce down and get each pig on the two tnt blocks…
Nothing new, just glad I’m not the only one up at 3am. 72,230 so far. Night all!
Yeah, I’m one of the middle of the night club where, for me right now, it’s 0130. I’ve got my 3 stars, but with a paltry 70k for a score. I think I’ll turn in and try this again after more sleep. I should be able to improve by then, or at least have better luck processing what I’m reading.
Sleep well!!
82510 doing second tower first. In fact my best score after the first bird was over 36k and came when I missed detonating the WB altogether – sadly I messed up the next shot but think it would have given a high score! I find a low arc to the second tower works better than a high one.
I have done it in 2 birds but only got 75k.
My best in the second tower is 35k but have got 82k with two birds so reckon a refined two bird solution will get the best result as there was heaps left untouched… The second bounced back and if the left tower toppled I reckon 95k is the upper limit.
81,870 ……. Gonna try to get higher throughout the day
90-95k (theory!) I’ve got so close but can’t nail it. 84k with two birds is my best but know 90+ is definitely possible.
1. Lob to just left of the third “tower”, detonate between the small and large glass squares as close as possible. This blows out the right tower. 31-32k average but for extra points aim for 35-36k.
2. Launch bird hugging the slingshot. Detonate slightly left of center on the horizontal glass. This blows out the left tower and blows throw the second. With luck debris or the bird will get the lower bird.
3. If you don’t get it in two, 58-60k is good at this point. Shoot the blue bird at the first tower and release close to the lower glass square. This will topple it over for 80-85k.
Bonus: sometimes after the first bird, the joker falls through the horizontal glass. This might help or hinder this solution but haven’t tried enough yet :)
I have been trying this method on and off today- between baking cookies :). I don’t think the joker pig makes much difference, but you should wait after flinging the first white bird, because sometimes the joker is slow to fall and he will mess up the next shot. I would love to do this with two birds, but so far, no such luck.
On another note, if anyone is looking to purchase AB for their PC, you can get all three games for .99 each from 12/23 to 12/25. I just got an email from Rovio this morning. I wasn’t sure where to post this, or if this is always posted somewhere on this site. Moderators, feel free to correct :).
83620 with this same 2-bird method. There will need to be some good collateral damage to get 90k+ using this.
Got 82370 with a 2 birdie!
I think the aim is get the with bird as close to the 1st tower on the right side. Then the second tower with the 2nd bird.
You can see it in my video here.
I have been able to repeat this, but I went second tower first, then to the first one. Only got 81820 though. The biggest challenge with this approach, is that first pig on the TNT goes untouched very often, messing up the two birder.
85k with the help of your video, nice work!
I very nearly got a one birder. After taking out the far right, the helmet pig in the elf hat sloooowly rolled to the left and took out the long thin ice, did some damage to the left structure, and the hat fell down and disturbed the pig on the TNT. I feel like with a little more force it could have taken out the TNT and it would knock down the weakened left tower.
i,m playin on an ipad 1. 76,540 after just a few tries this morning BUT no higher score after many more attempts! could it really be that different devices yeild higher scores/more damge? or is it a function of time played, or how many people are playing at one time, or some other variable programmed into the system?
I play on iPad and I’m in the mid-80s. Just keep at it. It is possible to get higher.
While there may be very slight differences based on the device, in general, iOS, Android, Mac and PC all play pretty much the same.
78k so far, just went for second tower, first, then blue birds at first tower again
