We just posted a teaser about Angry Birds Friends yesterday and today it has officially launched (teaser video). Angry Birds Friends is an updated and re-branded version of the original Angry Birds Facebook game. It’s more than just a face-lift though, as Angry Birds Friends includes some awesome new features, including:
- Weekly tournaments where you can compete with your friends. Per Rovio, “Every week, you have from Monday to Sunday to compete with your friends on four different levels. The pig-popper with the best overall score will earn a gold trophy, with silver and bronze for second and third place. Unlike crowns, trophies are yours forever!“
- Each week there will be four levels exclusively available in tournament mode
- You can earn power-ups — in addition to the daily rewards — by playing against your friends in tournament mode. Per Rovio, “Earn three power-ups bundles for a gold trophy, two for silver, and one for bronze. You also get a power-up for each tournament level you play, and one for participating in the tournament!”
Updates:
- Week 3 walkthrouhgs are live
- Week 2 walkthrouhgs are live
- Week 1 walkthrouhgs are live
- As it stands right now past scores will not be available once the tournament completes, so be sure to enter your weekly tournament scores into our Facebook leaderboard while it’s still open. Trophies you earn will stay.

If any more news is released or we stumble across new features we will update this page. Thanks for reading and enjoy the new features!
Can I play the game of week 1 ?
Unfortunately, you can’t. Though you can view your scores of the previous week if you want to.
One question…. I have 480 stars in Angry birds FB. I have all 12 stars in tournament week 1 and tournament week 2. As a whole, though, still 480 stars. HOW is it possible for a friend of mine to have 524 stars???!!! He talks about secter levels after tournaments but he doesn’t say how he got 524 stars! Can you pls tell me how is this possible? Thank you!
There’s a few glitches in the system. There aren’t that many stars, but for a little while there was some double-counting going on.
He said something about secret levels after completing the tournaments. But you might be right..He had the stars before the beginning of the tours… i can provide a pic if you want.
seems there was a glitch that allowed some people to collect stars that they shouldn’t have gotten. These invalid stars should now get corrected over time. Can you let us know if your friend’s star count gets reduced again to the max of 480 or below?
@AMSlimfordy — Jordekorre seems to be a Rovio employee; should get the celebrity badge.
Had to do a little research first to make sure. Indeed, all checks out.
Also one more detail. My friend on FB with the 524 stars is from Cyprus. I dont know if this has anything to do with the whole issue….
Great update! I’d like a Mighty Eagle tournament, it would be nice!
with the new pic on facebook and tomorrow being thursday look like a new update
“tomorrow being Thursday”?
They update on Thursdays often, I just know that because it is usually my day off and if there is an update I cant tell you how unproductive a day it becomes.
See @AMslimfordy , they have fallen into a pattern
The only one thing I don’t like about the tournament.. is that your trophies are based on overall points.
Having said that, I have three gold crowns, one silver, and am in second place! You can lose just one level, and not win at all!
Ah.. the horror.. =)
Last week i’m number 1
Hey guys,
First week I won 1st place, this week I got 2nd place. So I won in total 3+2=5 All-in-one-Bundles. But my upgrades do not get more. What is wrong with that? Is there anything I have to do to get these bundles?
The numbers of powerups should have increased by 5 each, i.e. if you had 10 before tournaments, after week one you would have 13, and week 2, 15. If this isn’t happening, I would suggest getting in touch with Rovio directly :)
so after my second place yesterday I should have +2 on every upgrade today?
I forgot to write down how many I had yesterday and I dont remember :(
I will check that next week.
Thank you very much!
Yep, that’s the idea :)
how can I play previous (Week#1) FB Tournament?
No way. Once they are gone, they’re gone.
For now ABF is under maintenance.
Sorry, fixed.
Did someone have the animated avatar yet?
It would be better to be able to see the scores of previous weeks level by level individually, I think. Now I want to enter my scores of the first three weeks; however, I can’t unfortunately as they are not available :(
Why did you feel the need to post this twice?
I realized I had a typo in my first message; therefore, I deleted it and posted again. However, the first message, which I thought I removed, was still here when I came back to check if it had gone.
Users do not have the ability to delete comments.
why then do users have “Delete” button?
It removes the object from the activity feed. However it would have terribly adverse side-effects if it removed the post itself.
how can i know who is te champion of the weekly tournaments
am a new user in angry birds nest. I am unable to add scores of previous tournament levels which i exactly remember the scores as i written down my scores, now i am ranked very last, so how to enter that scores?
Sorry, unless you have Screenshots to justify the scores, no late entry is allowed.
@birdleader For some reason I cannot get ABF to fully load. Is there currently any problem with ABF right now?
I am able to play ABF. Maybe it was a temporary glitch?
I still can’t play it…
i also cant play it
I asked Rovio about it and they said to clear your cache and restart. Didn’t work for me.
Today something unusual happened to me. After ranking first in the last week’s tournament, I expected to get 200 coins; however, the app gave me only 100 :(
Are there any others sharing the same experience?
I am playing angry birds with friends weekly tournaments. As of now it is the Halloween version. Twice I have beaten the number one score but it shows that the level failed. Why does this happen? I should gave 4 gold crowns.
It sounds like not all piggies were popped :( Curse those swine!
I completed levels 1-6, are there more levels because I’ve replayed level 6 a dozen times and it only lets me replay 6 and not advance. Thanks
6 levels per week. There will be another 6 starting tomorrow.
