What counts as success
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Work through the instructions
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
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.
