Bowling: a guide for your next round

Take a moment with Bowling before moving to another game. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. 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.

One thing to notice as you play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

The objective of a round

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The playing sequence

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Follow the 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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Pay attention to this rule

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
