Know the goal in Bowling

Take a closer look while playing

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.

The goal to keep in mind

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

  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.

How to interact with the game

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

Try this 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. Take a moment to compare.

An important reminder

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
