The challenge in front of you
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.

Keyboard and screen controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
A closer look at one 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
