The Smurfs have been dodging their nemesis Gargamel ever since they made their first blue debut in 1958. The blue gnomes are now heading to Bird Island to join the Angry Birds for a special event in Rovio Entertainment’s Angry Birds Friends mobile game.

In the one-week event, the Angry Birds piggies are a part of Gargamel’s army and they’ve captured some innocent Smurfs. It’s up to the birds to set them free and send Gargamel out of town. The event features three rounds of Smurf-themed tournaments with a total of 24 new levels full of Smurfs-themed backgrounds, classic Smurfs characters, and Smurfs trivia.

Angry Birds Friends is available for Android and iOS with all of the classic bird-flinging, tower-crumbling, and pig-popping of the original Angry Birds game, condensed into bite-sized, competitive tournaments. The Smurfs event is available now through May 2.
