An introduction to playing Bowling

Try Bowling at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

Practice beyond the first move

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

The purpose of your moves

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.

How a round unfolds

  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.

The controls to know

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.

See how the rules apply

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A common point of confusion

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
