If there is one level in the early stages of Bad Piggies that causes players to put down their devices and stare at the ceiling in frustration, it is Level 1-31. Located within the "Ground Hog Day" chapter, this level serves as a difficulty spike—a gatekeeper that separates the casual builders from the true engineers.
While earlier levels teach you that "more wheels equal more speed," Level 1-31 teaches you that weight distribution is everything. Here is a deep dive into why this level works, why it breaks your brain, and how to conquer it.
Here is the verified build order and activation sequence for Bad Piggies 1-31.
To beat Level 1-31 with all three stars, you need a specific combination of parts. The game gives you:
Note: You do not get balloons or umbrellas in this level. Your only source of lift is the motor-propeller combo.
You start with a small wooden cart chassis, a red motor (left/right toggle), one small wheel, one big wheel, a TNT block, and a wooden frame piece.
This level is a fan-favorite in speedruns because a perfectly timed TNT blast can launch the piggy directly to the goal in under 4 seconds – but it takes dozens of attempts to nail the angle.
To achieve a 3-star rating on Level 1-31 (Ground Hog Day) in Bad Piggies, you typically need to use two different contraptions to meet all objectives: reaching the goal, collecting the star box, and completing the level without crashing. Build Strategy
The Chassis: Start with a horizontal base of two or three wooden frames. bad piggies 1-31
Propulsion: Place a Powered Wheel below the left frame and one on the right side. Add an Electric Motor inside the left frame to provide continuous power. Thrust (Soda Bottles):
Place two Black Soda Bottles facing downward on top of the cart to provide lift.
Attach one Green Soda Bottle facing left on the back of the cart for a forward boost. Place Ross (the pig) in the rightmost frame. Execution Steps
Launch: Keep the powered wheels running from the start to drive the cart forward.
Lift: Once the cart is above the last stone on the first platform, fire the Black Soda Bottles. This should give the vehicle enough uplift to hover over the cliff and collect the Star Box.
Forward Boost: As the cart touches down on the second platform, fire the Green Soda Bottle to propel it toward the finish line.
Landing: If you are struggling with a rough landing, you can add an additional downward-facing soda bottle above the pig to help smooth out the impact.
The Speed Run: Build a compact vehicle focused on low center of gravity. Use bellows or small engines to give yourself that extra "oomph" over the final bumps without launching the pig into orbit. Note: You do not get balloons or umbrellas in this level
The Star Box Hunt: This often requires a "sacrificial" build. You might need a taller contraption to reach a box perched high up, even if it means the vehicle falls apart immediately after.
Stability is Key: Don't be afraid to use the "metal" frame pieces if you have them unlocked, as they provide more weight to keep your wheels on the ground. Building Tips for Ground Hog Day
Weight Distribution: Always place the pig in the center or slightly toward the back to prevent nose-diving on steep drops.
Bellows Timing: Don't just spam the bellows. Wait until your wheels are firmly on a flat surface or an upward slope to get the most "push" per click.
Trial and Error: If you’re stuck, check out guides on the Angry Birds Wiki to see how different parts interact with the terrain.
Level 1-31 is a great reminder that in the world of Rovio’s green troublemakers, the most elegant solution isn't always the one that looks the best—it’s the one that survives the crash! AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more
After hundreds of attempts (and consulting the Bad Piggies speedrunning community), the most reliable 3-star build for 1-31 involves a "Separation Cart" — a vehicle designed to shed weight upon command.
