Buenos días, amigos! To cap off an outstanding month of December in the Angry Birds community, we introduce a brand new Flash-based mini-game called Angry Birds Vuela Tazos (“Flying Tazos”). Flash based you say? Yep, this differs from the Volcano and Golden Pistachios browser games, which run on HTML5. To check out the new game, head over to vuelatazos.angrybirds.com.
When you go to the game, you are asked to register an email address or sign in (if you have already done so). This is because there is another competition and promotion involved. The prizes are only available in Mexico, but you can still play and help us hunt down the secret codes.
Besides running in Flash, there are some other notable items:
- On the top right it says in Spanish that the “Competition will begin on January, 9th 2012”
- There are 3 free levels and 3 locked levels that can be unlocked using product codes. We have walkthroughs / strategies available for all six levels here, though the last three levels are very difficult to 3 star.
- Check out the sound effects, especially the bomb bird = awesome!
- The Info (‘i’) screen is pretty cool.
- It’s sponsored by PepsiCo Mexico, which is not to shabby for Rovio.
So what exactly are “Tazos”? Well, per Wikipedia, “Tazos are round circular disks, which are found in packets of chips made by Frito-Lay and its subsidiaries around the world. The idea behind Tazos started out similar to Pogs, whereby each Tazo contained a score value, and a game was played to ‘win’ Tazos from other players.” Yep, Pogs! Check out the trailer below to see them first hand.
FAQ Translated from Spanish (click to open)
- How do I get codes to unlock levels 4 to 6?
You can get the codes on the caps of Pepsi and the Fly tazos special codes found on products Sabritas, Gamesa and Sonrics. For more information see www.vuelatazos.com

There is a weekly competition for every special level from Monday to Sunday. The table markers restarts Sunday at midnight.

Only 50 players with the highest score of attempted each of the 3 special levels appear in the list of winners.
- What are the requirements to participate?
The promotion is valid throughout Mexico and will participate in weekly competition with anyone who has a valid code. Offer valid from January 9, 2012 to March 11, 2012
- How many times can I try to achieve a winning score?
You can try as many times as you want as long as the weekly competition. Every Sunday at midnight competition closes and starts a new weekly competition.
- Can I continue playing Angry Birds Vuela Tazos once you have completed the competition?
The prize competitions end on March 19 but you can keep playing Angry Birds Fly tazos until July 31, 2012.
- When will I receive my prize?
The weekly winners will be contacted via e-mail to provide an address of the award. It is important to make sure that the email you provide when registering to be valid, otherwise it will be impossible to contact you.
- Can I play Angry Birds Vuela Tazos on my phone or mobile device?
Unfortunately, the game only works on browsers on personal computers.
- Why does the game lock, break, or slows down when playing?
Make sure you do not have multiple instances of the game in different windows open, otherwise, try playing the game on a computer with more memory or a faster processor.
- Why does the game runs slowly on my computer?
Try updating the video drivers. AMD Intel NVIDIA
So is this part of Chrome like Volcano and Pastashio?
Those levels aren’t actually part of chrome, they are just links within chrome. I would imagine this would take up the third spot in the list however :)
No, as it very clearly says, it is Flash-based. Use the URL above and it will open in any browser. IE, FireFox, etc.
It is optimized for chrome though
so… can i use firefox ?
Yes, you should be able to.
3 Starred them, any word on the codes for the rest & anyone have interpretations for the buttons?
The message that appears when you click on Levels 4-6 is simply asking for codes.
Are the codes only available through Mexican products?
It sounds like it.
can i play it without signing in?
I don’t see any way for that.
Wow, can’t put codes until September 1st, 2012. They sure got ahead of themselves.
January 9th, 2012.
The “Month-Day-Year” (Middle-endian) style is only typically seen in the US, Canada, Belize, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia. That totals about 450M people. So in this way, 09.01.12 = September 1st, 2012, but this is not the intention of this particular post.
Latin & South America, the majority of Europe, Northern Africa, Australia, and non-eastern Asia use the “Day-Month-Year” (Little-endian) style. This totals about 3.2B people. So in this way, 09.01.12 = 9 January, 2012, the spirit of the post.
That was awesome Slim! Walkthroughs, Leaderboards, and now Discovery Channel/Wikipedia-esque mega knowledge! Who would have thought I’d ever learn something of actual real world significance while flingin’ birds at pigs?!
When I try to sign up, I keep getting this message:
Error:
InformaciÓn de acceso no vÁlida
“Invalid Login Information”
If you are first signing up, you must click “Registrar” (Register) in the bottom-right. Once you have registered, you then enter that information and click “Acceder” (Access).
Are the first 3 levels NEW or from ABo ?
New levels.
Can someone translate the information page for me, i don’t speak a bit of Mexican.
Apodo = Nickname
Contrasena = password
Email = Email
Edad = Age
It’s spanish btw, and just google translate it yourself.
Where do you get the codes? I am traveling to san diego in the next few days and might be able to get some codes from mexico.
Love the new header though! When is the Globe Bird going to be added? :)
The game ends July 31, 2012, so you can’t play after? Wow…
1) Read the FAQ. It is explained there.
2) No real plans to change the header more.
3) Those 6 levels probably won’t have much interest in 7 months.
On Internet Explorer it’s working, but on my Google Chrome it’s not loading.
Really? Have you tried clearing your cache?
If I clear my cache, will I lose my progress in AB Volcano?
Ah, I’m not sure – its probably worth creating a back up just in case. Follow the instructions here, but looking for a file name that is similar to ‘http_fazer22-dot-latest-dot-angrybirds-fazer.appspot.com_0.localstorage’
Clearing my cache did not help. :-(
And on IE it is sooooo slow.
Hmm, OK. I’m guessing you’ve tried restarting your device and running it with no other programmes open? I guess other than that I’m not really sure what else to suggest. Slim might have some ideas when he gets here!
It should also run in Firefox, so you could try that, although you’ll probably find its very slow
Not much I can suggest other than what was said already. Perhaps your Flash player is not up-to-date, or your drivers.
Ugh the downtime between iOS updates is awful.
Hang on, some updates and surprises are on the way.
I’ve made 2 Walkthroughs for my Blog already you can watch them on my Blog (can I post the link?)
Sure, though we have the 1st 3 levels recorded as well on our YouTube page
My Blog is {site removed} and my YouTube is YouTube.com/Shireen2000
I’ve made loads of Wallthrough videos and I’ve also got Angry Birds Playlists on YouTube
Better go ask Rovio if you can use their name. They don’t like webpages using their name without asking. If you don’t have that permission, I can’t let you post it here. Sorry.
Oh, sorry I didn’t I’ll email them in a minute. Thank you for telling me
If you read the bottom of the site, it says that the contest lasts from January 1, 2012 to March 15, 2012.
Strange. Still, we will simply quote the FAQ which says 9 January. Not too big of a deal, but with the confusion, we’ll assume the FAQ is the correct one.
If only I was in Mexico…Anyways, you can find codes under bottles of 7-up and Pepsi to win a free meal in Subway or BK or win a free movie from Cinemex (sort of like Netflix, IMO) or Blockbuster. You can get these “discs” from the companies Sabritas (Lays Original), Cheetos, Doritos, Cookies of Emperador and Chokis. Sonrics is selling candy to find discs: Rocka Leta, Mancha-T, Bombiux Metro. If you find a coupon (looks like a disc) in the cookies, then you pay an extra 10 pesos (about a dollar in USD) to buy a keychain (green pig, bird blue, yellow bird, and red bird).
Different kinds of discs: http://www.vuelatazos.com/documents/Coleccion_Gamesa.pdf
That was a fun 3 levels! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Can’t wait for the codes. Interesting advertising for AB and Rovio.
Does this game really have the victory music and the new scoring when you complete a level? I hope they bring that to ios!
What are these pictures for? http://www.vuelatazos.com/documents/Coleccion_Sabritas.pdf
Tazos are similar to Pogs. Those look like stickers you can print out and put on your Tazo.
Rovio made a new website helping the prevention of birds becoming extinct. http://birdlife.angrybirds.com/
Very cool!! Angy Birds helping other birds…gotta love it!
They should make a little game around that! The pigs have stolen the endangered birds and the angry birds have to save them! the endangered birds could be used in game with special moves like the angry birds, it would rise a lot of awareness for these animals, and it would be fun to play too!
…Sounds exactly like angry birds rio…
Not the macaws like Blu and Jewel, i meant the pigs would steal the birds that are shown on the site that hello222 was showing, and it wouldn’t be anywhere near Rio, it would be in like a field or something like that.
Great news! To top off the year, Angry Birds Saasons PC has been updated to v2.1.0!
In other news, there’s also a 50% off on many angry birds products! Not really a big deal, just worth mentioning…
Mr. Potato, you are about 29 days late. It was released on the 1st.
Woo hoo! There’s a new app on the iTunes App Store… it’s called Angry Birds Rio!
Just kidding, Slim. Happy New Year!
http://birdlife.angrybirds.com/
On rovio’s blog they have something about “saving extiction” and with a website that has angry birds chrome on it. Not sure if you want to make a post about it. Here is the link
Why is it adds on Angry Birds Nest?
What?
He’s asking why there are ads on ABN. Frankly, it costs money to maintain a website. So allowing ads on the site generates the income necessary to maintain this site without charging our members.
Ok.
hey!! I’m from mexico.. actually from guadalajara, I can help you with the codes.. just because this page has helped me with angry birds original and seasons… i don’t really like ABRio but you have great tutos here.. well i’ll give you the codes later, now there’s nothing yet..
Thanks! That would be awesome. Better not to leave the codes in comments though, as I’m sure they’re single use. Feel free to drop as a line via the contact form and we can go from there.
ok yo les aviso despues que pasa con los codigos, es que al parecer no son tan faciles de conseguir, pero no es nada del otro mundo, solo es cuestion de tiempo. saludos! by the way, happy new year!
and sorry for write everything in spanish, hope there’s no problem.
(Google translate: ok I’ll let you know then what about the codes, is that apparently are not so easy to get, but it is no big deal, just a matter of time. greetings! by the way, happy new year!)
Hey, I got the first one you sent. Thanks so much! I am responding here because when I tried to reply via email it bounced back (i.e. it didn’t work).
don’t worry, :D I hope it worked for you.. I’ll send you more other days, take care..
Bird Leader, can u give evryone the code.
Hi bird leader and amslimfordy, happy new year!!! Just wanted you to notify that there will be a new update for AB Seasons on Jan. 2012 and I my best guess for its title is new year’s thief check out this vid.
Thanks, we are aware of this and will create a post soon.
We aren’t going to speculate a title.
The post about the Year of the Dragon update is live.
Is it sopposed to be another language? Also, will this be the other link in chrome?
If so, i’d need tons of help regerstering.
That language is called “Spanish”. Please read the post. Most of your questions we have already answered, including a full translation of the FAQ.
Hey slim, is this the flash version that rovio announced back in october with a better effects engine?
I doubt this is the full flash version that Rovio planned.
Wow did anyone notice the ice age level with a mammoth under the category Juego
Yes, I am very eager to get codes to see that one.
i wanna tell you that it’s not a level of ice age.. I think that it’s a level of “mammoth” it’s a product from mexico i’ll leave the link here.. hope you don’t have any problem with this link.. http://es-es.facebook.com/pages/Mamut-Gamesa/148111945240896
Oh cool I didnt know that.
are codes single use ?
We are not sure. If so, we can’t help too much. If not, we may post some here.
The codes are single use i believe
Thanks for the walktrough guys! I’m from mexico and I would love to win those prizes, but im not a very good player, please do the walktroughs for the locked games! I wanna win (:
The codes appear in some special tazos but I haven’t seen one yet, my sister use one and you cant use the codes twice :c
And sorry for the bad english.
I’m not sure how we could obtain these codes, if they’re only available in Mexico…
Wow its awesome to play Ravio ….amazing experience but I use trail version its running very well but when I purchased it could not work no stage run while open any stage ….its not supported. Please do needful , now felt its worst to purchase this game
Sorry, I don’t understand your question — nor do I think it has any relevance on this page. If you are having issues, contact Rovio at [email protected]
