Learn the rules of 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. 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
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Start here and follow along
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Making selections and moves
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.
An example before you play
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
