Play Bowling with the rules at hand

Bring your attention to one round of Bowling. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

Practice with a purpose

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Step by step

  1. Set lane position and power.
  2. Roll into the rack.
  3. A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
  4. The tenth can earn bonus rolls.

How your actions work

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example to follow

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

Where a round can go wrong

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
