How to play Bowling
Bring your attention to one round of Bowling. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
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.
A useful 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.
Watch out for this
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.
