Introducing Bowlitaire

Bowling, dealt as solitaire.

Ten cards stand as pins. Your ball card knocks down any touching pins whose sum ends in its number. Strikes, spares, ten frames. Bowl a frame right here.

Frame 1 · Ball 1 0 pins down

Pick a ball card

Four ways to bowl

One real deal, bowled by following the Hint key: 131 in ten frames.

A Tour level in the app: ten pins on the lane, a 2 of hearts ball card in play, the 2 pin picked, and the hint bar reading Ball 2 · 2.

The Tour

Bowl your way down the Tour, alley by alley. Each level is a few frames with a goal to beat, from small racks of three pins up to the full ten.

Rollo, the house ball, coaches your first alley and gives hints when you ask.

The Daily Lane screen: today's 10 frames, a streak row of seven days, today's board and a Bowl today's lane key.

The Daily Lane

One deal for everyone, every day. You get one try at ten frames, with standard balls and no boosters or hints, then see where you stand on the day's board.

Bowl every day to keep your streak going.

A full game in the app: the Strike! marquee over the lane after all ten pins fell on the first ball, with an X in frame 1 on the score board.

The full game

Ten frames and ten pins, scored like real bowling. A strike in the tenth earns two bonus balls, a spare earns one, and 300 is the top score.

Every game you finish counts toward your bowler average.

The Alley home screen: the Starlite Room, a 1962 bowling alley boarded up, with star prices on the neon sign, pinsetter, lanes, trophy wall, snack bar, arcade and jukebox.

Fix up the Starlite Room

Stars you earn on the Tour fix up a 1962 bowling alley, one piece at a time: the neon sign, the lanes, the trophy wall, the snack bar, the pinsetter, the jukebox and the arcade.

Boosters for the tricky racks

Earn coins as you bowl and spend them in the Pro Shop. Each booster is a ball you load from the rack beside the ball return.

Boosters work on the Tour and in Full games. Daily Lane stays fair: no boosters there.

How a hit works

  1. Pick a ball card. Its number is the digit you need. A 10 counts as 0.
  2. Tap one to three touching pins whose sum ends in that digit. With an 8 ball, 6 + 2 = 8 and 10 + 6 + 2 = 18 both hit.
  3. One of them must be open, with nothing standing in front of it. Bowl, and the pins fall.

Ball 1 takes as many hits as you can find. All ten down is a strike; finish them on ball 2 for a spare. Read how to play
