Bowling: instructions and practice

Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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 beyond the first move

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The objective of a round

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Making your moves

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Check this before moving on

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
