60 free Angry Birds trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Angry Birds started as a sketch of scowling wingless birds by a designer at a Finnish studio that was close to going under. Fifty-one work-for-hire games later, Rovio bet what money it had left on a slingshot puzzle, released it in December 2009, and spent 275 days at number one on the App Store. This quiz follows the whole franchise: the original game and its episodes, the flock's powers, why the enemies became green pigs, Angry Birds Space and its NASA tie-in, the Star Wars crossover, Bad Piggies, Angry Birds 2, the two theatrical movies, and Sega buying the company in 2023. Easy questions ask which company makes the games and what the pigs stole. Medium ones cover Chuck's colour, the Mighty Eagle and Piggy Island. The hard end wants the Flash game that inspired the physics, the soft-launch title of Angry Birds 2, the name of the ice ball villain in the second movie and how many downloads it took the series to reach four billion. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the games, films and Rovio, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up. Good for kids who grew up on the games, adults who lost 2010 to them, and anyone hosting a family quiz night.
