How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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. Use one clear input at a time.
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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
