Bowling: how a round works

Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Bring this focus to a round

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.

Your goal

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.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Put the rules into context

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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
