Follow the steps for Bowling

Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

An idea for your next attempt

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. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

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.

How to interact with the game

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A closer look at one example

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.

A common point of confusion

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
