Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
