Birdday Party (Birthday Party) level 18-12 is quite difficult. The best strategy is to launch the Orange bird through the vertical wooden block in the top-left structure. As soon as the Orange bird breaks the wooden block, expand the Orange bird to push the structure to the right. With good timing, the right structure will also topple from the debris. In the video, the two bottom pigs are popped, so reaching the top-right pig with the White bird is sufficient. If necessary, use Big Brother to detonate the TNT in the bottom-left. The score in the video below is 107,360.
3-star Minimum Score: Originally, iOS devices required 105,000 points to obtain 3-stars on this level. This discrepancy has since been fixed, and all platforms observe the 96,000-point minimum.
Version 2022:
I guess I just made it with 105070. 2 birds. Many, many hours. Sigh.
I’m stuck at 2 stars with 104540. Can’t even remember how I got that score anymore after so many failed attempts…
Argh, even worse: got it with 1 bird and the final score was… 104900!!! I really hate this level…
Oh joy, 107380 and had to use all three birds! Now I can sleep ;)
Um….yeah….. after an hour or so I managed to get the feather but that’s only because I haven’t been able to get past 1 star on this level. Not going to give this level many plays after 3-stars, that’s for sure.
One bird and 110 over the minimum! OK, so I’ll keep playing because a) this is addictive and b) I have to be able to do better than that! lol
Optimal hardware for ipad??? Off topic, but my account is bugged so can’t leave in forum … I thought I saw a comment here about an early Christmas present — was is by any chance a high resolution touch pad? I play on an ipad, which certainly has a high resolution touch screen, but the pixels seem to be small compared to my fingers (normally considered small). Seems to me I could do better if I could more accurately / repeatedly aim. Thus the desire for a high resolution touchpad with finger-sized pixels. Does anyone know of such a thing? Any other suggestions for improving hardware?
Finally – 107580. With 1 bird. So pleased that is done. 3 stars in all levels. Can sleep at night now!!
111,000 after about a gazillion tries. Thank God all the levels weren’t that hard or I’d never have developed this addiction:)
Patti, you only did it a gazillion times?? I think I passed you up a couple days ago..
Finally, this morning.. 1 bird.. 108,830… NEVER going back to 18-12 again !!!
Me too! never taken so long to get 3 stars, just wouldn’t fall for me!
I love Christmas. But, I must say, this gift wrapping thing has REALLY interrupted my Angry Birds time!
I’ve picked Christmas wrapping over AB. Oh, the plight of an AB addict! ;-)
Level cleared. One bird. 102810. Can’t get 3 stars. AHHHHH.
I started out with the tactic shown in the video but gave up after about an hour. Only had 102k. Then I discovered an inflation point in the gap between the two structures, just to the right and below the stone beam that extends horizontally from the left structure. It will collapse both structures in a reasonably repeatable way, killing all pigs except the lower left one. Take out the last pig with the second bird (don’t drop the bomb) for a 2-birder. 106k after about ten minutes of trying.
Finally, 3 stars. Has taken so long. I suppose thats why we love this game.
Thanks f91jsw. Did it your way & found it alot easier.
I don’t mind a hard level, but this isn’t hard, it’s ridiculous. Your score is about 99.999% luck, and that’s what is so bothersome. I don’t mind a hard level where it takes multiple pinpoint precise shots to get 3 stars, but the levels like this, which requires an UNGODLY amount of luck, several planets to align in just the right order, a suspension of the effects of gravity, some pixie dust, 3 lost teeth from a badger, wolverine, and a rattlesnake, reversal of the Earth’s magnetic field, a live sacrifice of a chicken, and a perfect witchdoctor incantation sung to the tune of Michael Jackson’s Thriller takes away from the fun of the game.
No, don’t sugarcoat it, tell us what you really think.
Technically, the earths magnetic field does reverse on a (fairly) regular basis
I know, about every few hundred thousand years…wanted something that happened very rarely.
It IS stupid difficult…lol
Forgot to ask where I could get that incantation and other stuff…. because apparently you need it to break that pig in the party hat. Without it the entire structure will fall on him and not do any damage. Sheeesh…
No wonder it took me so long to get this level.. I was having the witchdoctor sing Billie Jean,, and not thriller.. thanks for the tip !!!
I’m going to see if I can’t hide a mic so that I can get a recording so that I can share with everyone. :)
Took me hours, ended up with one bird and 116510 points.
FINALLY! I couldn’t live with just 110 points over the minimum and after days of playing I finally got over 108K (and that’s only the second time I got 3 stars!!!!! yikes!!!).
44/45 stars on the episode 104150 on this level. Grrrrrrrrrrr
I feel the same way! I only need ONE more star! Puleeeez!
104,520.
I think I may cry a little.
i got 3 stars with 96750
yeah I got it with 96360. Is it an android different score or something?
Oh goodness. Are you sure it’s this level? If so, I’ll talk to Rovio about this. But these scores would work for 3-stars in 18-13.
positive. I got 108k on 18-13
OK, I’ll report this then. See if we can get some clarification on which is correct and which is not. Thanks for the help :)
Quick question: Are you using Android Market app, or Amazon AppStore app?
android Market. and you better not take away my 3 stars :D
Andriod market
Score 109090. I got lucky with one shot. I agree with heathen, takes the fun out of the game!
102580,also get 3 stars
Android
Are you sure? Isn’t the 3 star min. is 105000?
sure
OK guys, Rovio got back to me. It seems that iOS is supposed to be lower, so Android’s minimum is correct and iOS will be adjusted soon.
OMG! Thank BirdGodness! stuck at just under 102k on the iPad.
I can’t imagine how anyone got 3stars. I’ve 1 birded and 2 birded many times only with a
High of 98. I can’t walk away. Help,
Finally got it after killing my batter about 10 times trying, one bird, redo, one bird redo, one bird redo, one bird redo, ect. 108,280. It’s possible with alot of luck and repetition.
they’re lowering the threshold for iOS??? i wasted so many hours mindlessly throwing those birds until i got 3-stars….Dx
on the otherhand, i should be thankful for somethings too i’ve had in AB, such as being around for the update that lowered the seasons greedings 1-16 level :)
The problem is will there be an update?
That’s what the red disclaimer at the top of the page says.
This level took me three days. One-birder like the most. Direct shot on the vertical wood (upper third), manually inflated (really, no special advice posssible when to inflate), took out both pigs on the left structure and pink cake. Debris went on right structure which tumbeled and fell first to the right taking out the pig with crown and the cake, then to the left taking out the remaining 3 pigs. TNT did not explode. The hardest 3 star in the entire game.
99680: 2 stars using my iPhone
Finally got 105680 with 1 bird after trying zillion times.
Just wanted to say goodbye to this level.. Phiiieewww..
This level has caused my blood pressure to rise to dangerous levels, and migraine headaches. And yet I keep trying. I’m all for tough levels, but I’m with you–this is ridiculous! Two stars and over 99,000 points. Pure insanity.
The iOS players who achieved 3 stars on this level should get a badge for spending countless hours on this level when the 3 star min was a mistake.
I posted my score(prefix) for 18-12 on leader board, the only one I’ve posted. If you are going to give out badges, I hope you will give me one, instead of deleting my score.
That’s over 200 players, and it hasn’t even been released for Mac or PC yet.
Well, we can have some volunteers to help check all 200 members. But I have one way we could do it. We create a post in the fourm and tell the iOS players to post their screenshot and scores and we will have the guys who have the greatest trust to do all of the approving. We should have a deadline so that we check all of the scores at the same time.
I’m sure all 200 are legit. In fact, the average score on the level is 106k.
This level reminds me of the SG’s 1-16 mighty eagle. The only difference is that it is a regular level; we don’t use the eagle to get the three stars
FINALLY! I just got three stars with exactly 110,000 points! I don’t even know how it happened…did it just like the walk through (and just like I’ve done it at least a thousand times until now), only this time everything just fell right and I beat it! Now I can finally go to bed!!
Well, I don’t think I need 200+ iOS players to tell me I stink at AB, do I? LOL
Even without the “iOS 3-star sadism” issue in Android, it took me over 4 hours just to get a LAME 96,060 to get the final star. Well, I can finally call it a day and take a rest for now. *yawns*
It would be interesting to know what device the high scorers are playing on. For instance, I gave up on playing on I phone because it was straining my eyes, and gave up playing on a MacBook Air because the interface was too lame (this was a while ago, so maybe its been fixed). Now playing on Ipad. Can’t wait till Santa brings me the connection to see it on HDTV. Would still like advice on touchpad with larger pixels (but still the same number or more).
Woo hoo! I FINALLY got 3 stars playing on the iphone. I bet the level once with 103k and now with one bird I finally got 3 stars with 108k! I shot the first bird upwards and down in between the two structures and detonated him before he landed on the ground. He took everything out! Now I can more on!
I finally got three stars (116,210) after what seemed like MANY hours of trying over many days. I am glad to see Rovio is looking to fix this for iOS users. I had a suspicion there was some sort of discrepency between devices and was wondering if it was possible that some device types could get 3* more easily on this level. Seems that may be the case. Even though I finally got 3* on my iPhone (twice in 1 day!) and on my iPad (for some reason got it quicker on it) I think Rovio needs to make an update for this level. It takes extreme luck and a 1-shot hit to get 3* on the current iteration.
As it says, this will be corrected.
