A practical guide to Bowling

Bowling gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

A focus for your next round

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

Learn from a sample situation

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. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
