“None of us really knew what we were getting into when we travelled 4,000 miles and seven time zones to do this story. But after fighting jet lag, subzero temperatures, and some fierce deadlines I think we’ve created something wholly unique,” says Daniel Dumas, Deputy Technology Editor who was among the team from The Daily to travel to Helsinki to develop the Guide. “The Daily’s Angry Birds Space Guide is chock full of exclusive content about the game you won’t find anywhere else. It also takes readers on a wild tour of the cosmos — everything from its deepest mysteries to the people who explore it — and makes this special edition truly amazing.”
The Angry Birds Space Guide is free in the App Store for iPad and iPhone. The Daily’s Angry Birds Space Guide App will also be available for Android users on March 21. Angry Birds Space will make its debut on iOS, Android, PC and Mac on March 22.
