Bowling: how a round works

Choose a round of Bowling and settle into its rules. 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. 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 focus for your next round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

Understand the aim

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The steps to play

  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.

Using the playing area

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example before you play

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

Notice this detail

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
