Writing about whether or not puzzles like those in *Angry Birds* actually build real-world intelligence, writer and KS contributor [Tom Bissell replied](http://www.grantland.com/story/%5F/id/6828237/beyond-angry-birds?ref=killscreen.com) “until I find myself in a situation that requires slingshotting large objects at fixed positions, I withhold judgment.” Thanks to the new theme park “Angry Birds Land” opening in Finland, this may be a more real possibility than you would think:

> The theme park will be based in Särkänniemi Adventure Park in Tampere, and will feature rides and amusement park games, as well as a ‘Magic Place’ area with interactive games.  
>  
> Visitors have been told to expect an ‘interactive entertainment experience’ where ‘the physical and virtual worlds combine’.  
>  
> Miikka Seppälä, the CEO of Särkänniemi Adventure Park said: ‘We wanted to create a unique themed area and associate it with a strong and well-known brand.  
>  
> ‘The Angry Birds characters were born in Finland but known worldwide by people of all ages. This is a perfect fit for our Adventure Park.  
>  
> ‘Our goal is to motivate the fans, both adults and children, to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.’   
>  

Visitors to *Angry Birds Land* are further ”invited to use a giant catapult to shoot *Angry Birds* soft toys at green pig balloons floating around a toy brick fortress.”

The challenge is on, Tom.
