Bowling

Basic Gameplay

A game of Bowling on Plato consists of either 5 or 10 rounds, also called as "frames".

In each frame, the player will have 2 chances to knock down as many bowling pins as possible.

Players throw the ball by tapping and holding on their ball, and then swiping upwards towards the pins.

Strikes

When all 10 pins are knocked down with the 1st ball, this is called a Strike.

A Strike is worth 10 points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next 2 balls.

A Strike is marked as an “X” on the score sheet.

Spares

When all 10 pins are knocked down with the 2 balls of a frame, it is known as a Spare.

A Spare is worth 10 points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the 1st ball of the next frame.

A Spare is marked as a slash "/" on the score sheet.

Last Frame

If the player knocks down all 10 pins in the last frame, they're allowed to throw 3 balls for that frame.
