Learn your way around Bowling

Take a moment with Bowling before moving to another game. 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.

Bring this focus to a round

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

How to proceed

  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 use the controls

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

An important reminder

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.
