How to play Bowling
Start Bowling by looking at the playing area and its controls. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.
Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
