A practical guide to Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Bring this focus to a round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
Input guidance
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.
A closer look at one 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.
A useful caution
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
