THE PLAYBOOK · ZOEHERO
The essentials of playing Bowling
Start Bowling by looking at the playing area and its controls. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
One thing to notice as you play
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
From the start of a round
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Your inputs
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
See the idea in action
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. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
