Angry Birds Go! Telepods Multi-Pack
Picture the two-kart Angry Birds Go! Telepods Multi-Pack and invent pit-stop postcards for a paper journey around a tiny town.
The play at a glance
Two little karts with places to go
An orange bird and a green pig sit in tiny karts in the original Multi-Pack image. The characters make a ready-made pair of travelers: one could be eager to reach the next stop while the other keeps finding something interesting along the way. A few paper postcards can turn their journey into a small comic story.
A small cast for a tabletop story
Hasbro’s original announcement lists two karts, two pig-themed racing targets and a Telepods base in this Multi-Pack. Toysit’s image shows the characters and accessories together in the package. Their contrasting faces can suggest different attitudes before a player has written a word of dialogue.
The original Telepods idea linked a physical kart with the Angry Birds Go! mobile game. Rovio now says the game is unavailable for new downloads. The postcards below form a complete paper adventure; the earlier scanning description remains in the historical account.
Try pit-stop postcards
Draw three destinations on separate pieces of paper: a bakery, a windy hill and a café. Place them on a flat tabletop. Use drawings of two travelers, or move suitable karts gently by hand according to their own instructions.
- Choose a reason for the trip. Perhaps the travelers are collecting ideas for a town festival. Give each one a different favorite thing to look for.
- Visit the bakery. Draw the postcard’s front: a window full of imaginary pastries. On the back, write or dictate one line from each traveler. One might admire the cakes; the other might notice a wonderfully squeaky door.
- Pause on the windy hill. Draw wind as curls on the card. What can the travelers see from up there? Give them two different answers.
- Finish at the café. Make a third postcard announcing their favorite discovery. Lay all three cards in journey order and tell the story from beginning to end.
Now reverse the route. Visiting the café first might change what the travelers notice at the bakery. Add a fourth blank card so a listener can invent the next stop.
Give every traveler a voice
A short sentence can carry plenty of personality: “I came for the view” and “I came for the picnic” describe the same stop in two ways. Keep these lines beside the drawings, then fold the cards into a tiny travel album. The adventure is ready to read aloud whenever the travelers set out again.

The Angry Birds franchise, originating from a mobile game developed by Rovio Entertainment, became a global phenomenon due to a combination of engaging gameplay, memorable characters, and strategic marketing. The initial game, released in 2009, introduced players to a simple yet addictive slingshot mechanic where they launched birds at structures to defeat pigs. The game's intuitive controls, coupled with progressively challenging levels, made it accessible to players of all ages.
The vibrant and distinct designs of the birds, each with unique abilities, added personality to the game, making the characters instantly recognizable. This laid the foundation for extensive merchandising opportunities, from toys and apparel to various consumer goods.
