In the wake of one of the biggest Angry Birds release days ever Rovio has one more surprise up there sleeve. In partnership with Wonderful Pistachios comes an brand new browser based mini-game titled, “Angry Birds Pistachios: The Hunt for the Golden Pistachio“. It’s optimized to run in Google Chrome, but will likely work in other modern non-mobile browsers as well. The direct link to the game is getcrackin.angrybirds.com.
I should add, most stories I’ve read covering this update state that this is the “first” Angry Birds brand mini-game. We all know that to be false, as Angry Birds Volcano was released a couple months back, which laid the ground work for Angry Birds Pistachios.
Our walkthrough videos are up, but we still need to obtain codes to unlock the other levels.
Here’s the lowdown on how Angry Birds Hunt for the Golden Pistachios works:
Of course, this is the much-abbreviated details of the game, but to read (far) more, see the official rules. Here are the highlights:
You can also receive codes without purchase by following these directions:
Register for the Game, invite a friend to participate in the Game via Facebook (Note: Your friend must accept your invite in order for you to receive the free Code) or send the provided tweet regarding the Game. In all cases, invite/tweet should only be sent to individuals who are personally known to you, who are eligible to participate in the Promotion and who you believe would be interested in the Promotion and Sponsor’s Wonderful® Pistachios product.
How these codes actually work is still not crystal clear. They stated that the codes are “unique”, so it very possible that they are a one-time-use and, when you enter them online, any further attempt to use the code will fail. At this point, we just don’t know.
