Angry Birds Seasons Back to School Level 1-1 Walkthrough

One strategy for Angry Birds Seasons Back to School level 1-1 is to fire the red bird into the hollow wood block with the goal of hitting hard enough to pop all the pigs on the left hand side. Now fling one more red bird into the supporting leg of the far right tower, taking it down. The score in the video is 78,330.

this is just impossible! there isn’t enough power in the red bird to knock over the first column. very disappointed. have completed every other angry birds game but don’t think I’ll bother with this if it’s already impossible for me to get 3 stars on the first level!

Takes a few tries, but it is doable (as you can see by the video).

Dear Prof Surfcow,

That is about the best advice I have read concerning playing Angry Birds -any level! This is a game offering challenges and, most of all, fun. I love to get 3 stars or one-birders or find a different way to score. I do have a goal of being high score at least one time. I’m a 62 year old grandmother who plays angry birds with two of my grandchildren. I hope Bryan and many other players get what you wrote. Invaluable.

Dear @Quilter2506,
Flattery won’t get you anywhere with the professor. But it will get you an A+ in Angry Birds 101. I must say that you are my heroine. I want to be just like you if I am fortunate enough to have grandchildren. And those evil robots will have to pry that Newest Newer New New New New New iPad from my cold, dead fingers if they want me to stop playing Angry Birds Seasons 2022. Happy flinging to you and your offspring. Aloha.

P.S. And remember, if your grandchildren ever beat you on a level, hit restart before it gives the total score. If they complain, say, “Sorry, your Grandma’s got the fuzzy floozles,” or you can always blame it on Rovio and their “buggy code.” Good luck!

Dear Bryan,
As a adjunct professor of Angry Birds Physics, may I offer a suggestion? I like to call my approach Try All By Air Or which probably sounds like a strategy you know all too well. You are probably asking, “Or what?” professor Surfcow. Who hasn’t tried systematically flinging our feathered friends at every possible angle in an attempt to three-star a difficult level? The main difference between us and those Bad Piggies is that we usually learn from our mistakes. That and we have something they don’t: sweat glands. So make sure you are paying attention to what happens after you strike a particular piece of wood, cement plank or barnyard animal while playing; usually the answer to the star trifecta puzzle is discovered in much the same way scientists discover the next non-drowsy allergy formula: by trial and error. I call on all Angry Birds students to utilize God’s special gift to us – no, I’m not talking about sweat glands, @twylatime, even though getting three stars often involves some hard work. Let’s all try and remember to work smart too. Those swine are green for a reason. They are envious of everything we have that they don’t have, including eggs, sweat glands… And several dozen IQ points. Welcome back to school, everyone. Aloha.

P.S. Before any of you zoology majors jump all over my post, I know that pigs have sweat glands but they do not function like a human’s does. They can release a little water and heat through passive diffusion, but it is not enough for the pigs to rely on. So in order to combat heat, pigs have adapted by using behavioral thermoregulation, which is the act of cooling themselves in the mud or water.

Ahh, professor @surfcow, mahalo for the physics lesson kokua. After over 4 hours of flinging, I finally got a one-birder! The most frustrating part was after making that “perfect” shot, watching that whole right side begin to tilt over, then *bam* those darned cement blocks fall smack dab onto the end of the horizontal plank stopping the momentum of the pig going over! But I was persistent and changed the trajectory ever so minutely and it finally happened! Scored 86180 for this weary birdie. Time to take a break at the BP so why don’t you stop on by and have one on me!

Agreed, the strategy is nigh impossible because after many attempts, the red bird simply imparts not enough energy to trigger such event.

But my last attempt managed to hit a bit higher, the triangle block that caused the structure to tip; 2nd bird exploited the tip by hitting the triangle block again, caused the structure to crash onto the other structure, topple both, finish the deal with 73190 points.

Rank: Master Slinger with 7205 points
By TruckDriver (@truckdriver)Score: 74,310

I think most of the problem lies in the umbrella that is held by the helmet pig. It acts as a counterforce, cancelling out the energy imparted by the red bird striking the structure. Even if you manage to rid helmet of the umbrella, those wooden triangles, and short pieces of wood introduce friction between the pieces as a second counterforce.

Having said that, we know from the video that it can be done, but it’s very annoying!!!

My persistence finally paid off. I kept flinging RB at hollow wooden square just like video and finally left hand structure fell apart and in the process debris somehow pushed the other structure breaking it too. One birdie- 82990! There is some potential here for a better score since I had a lot of debris left unbroken.

Nice score @PlayDBird – I barely got above average! I don’t think I have the strength it must take for a 1birder. For a level this hard, Rovio could have at least been a little more creative with the graphics. Not up to their usual cleverness. Maybe next level will be better & I hope easier.

Did the same with the persistence and patience. Found that if I zoomed in my aim was a little better. There must be a sweet spot in the lower corner of the hollow wood box and it has to be hit directly for everything to move to the right and to hit the right structure. It was interesting to note that when the red birds hit the wood in the left structure the wood was like a sponge and just absorbed the impact. In the right structure they could push it over. A challenging level for the one bird solution.

OK this is a really tricky level, the only way I could get this to work was to hit the wooden square as close to the bottom as possible. This will get one of the triangular wooden pieces to tumble down and take out the pig with the umbrella, 73010 not the highest score but three stars!!

Found an easier way to do this level with just enough to get 3 stars. Lob the first bird at a high angle to take out the helmeted bird with the umbrella. Without him to support the structure the next bird hitting the hollow square will knock it over and take out the adjacent structure in the process. 73110

78790 using your method, good enough for me! I got it after about five tries this way as opposed to a hundred or more the earlier ways described. I just couldn’t get the whole left structure to topple nicely enough.
