How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. 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.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
