Bowling: learn through an example

Try Bowling at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.

Something to practise

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

The goal to keep in mind

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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.

Using the playing area

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.

Follow the 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Keep this in mind

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
