Getting Started Guide

Save your Progress   Сonnect your in-game profile to your Facebook, Google or Apple account. Learn more about ways to save your progress here.    Controls   Basic principles:   First, you need to aim. Drag the ball to move it. Swipe the arrows below the ball to rotate it. Drag the ball back and keep holding it. To bowl the ball in a straight line, swipe forward when the arrow is in the center of the hook controller. A long, fast swipe will launch the ball into the air. A shorter, slower swipe will bowl the ball along the ground. To make the ball curl (hook), swipe it forward when the arrow on the hook controller is to the side. You can hook the ball clockwise or counterclockwise. The further the arrow is to the left or right, the more intensively the ball will hook.   Be cool and good luck! But remember, you only have 20 seconds for each bowl!   Profile, Settings and Support   In your Profile, you can change your avatar, check your stats, and view your Weekly League progress, Rank, and Tournament banners. From Profile, you can go to Settings, where you can turn the music, sounds, and vibration on and off. You can also find here the Support button, information on data protection, and our Terms of Service.   Currency   Chips are required to play matches and upgrade your balls and shirts. You can win chips or buy them. Gold is a rare resource. You can spend it on valuable items or exchange it for chips. You can get it from Crown Cases, Events, and Free Daily Items (with a chance), or purchase some in our Shop. Sprays are an in-game currency. You can exchange sprays for new customization items: avatars, skins, or trails. Not all items are available for purchase with sprays. You can earn sprays in several ways. The main source is Customization Cases.   Balls and Shirts   You start with beginner balls, which cannot be upgraded. When you receive a ball card for the first time, that ball is unlocked. All useful information about balls, including how to upgrade them, their types, and stats, is available here. Shirts are a part of your bowling Gear, and they can make your balls heavier, faster, larger, bouncier, and easier to control. Each Shirt has a charge, which gets depleted when you use it in matches. Learn more about Shirts here.   Trophies and Alleys   Win games to earn trophies. Once you have enough trophies, a new Alley is unlocked. A lot of awesome Alleys are waiting for you! Every Alley has a maximum number of available 🏆 trophies.   Pin Layouts   Once you unlock Alley 3 (Hell's Balls), pin layouts become varied. In addition to a classic 10-pin bowling lineup, a variety of different lineups are added.

How to unlock new Alleys

To unlock new Alleys, you need to increase your total number of trophies. To check how many trophies you need for the next unlock, tap Play and choose the next Alley by swiping right or by tapping the arrow to the right of your current Alley - you’ll see how many more trophies you need to unlock it. If winning gives you no trophies, but losing makes your trophies go down, then you've reached the trophy limit for your current Alley. You need to go back to previous Alleys and check which of them can bring you more trophies.  You can switch between Alleys by swiping left or right on the Alley Select screen or tapping the arrows to the left and right of your Alley.  To sum up, increasing your total number of trophies unlocks new Alleys, and you can add to this total by winning on any Alley that hasn't reached its trophy limit yet.

Keeping Score: Bowling Scoring

Hello Bowlers! Let's get you started with a quick guide on scoring in the game.   Scoring Basics In Bowling Crew, scoring is straightforward and follows traditional bowling rules. The only difference is that a real game of bowling consists of 10 frames, while a Bowling Crew game consists of 3 frames.   Scoring in Each Frame One point is scored for each pin that is knocked down. However, when all ten pins are knocked down, the scoring works as follows: Strike (X): Knock down all ten pins in one roll. Score 10 plus points from the next two rolls. Spare (/): Knock down all ten pins in two rolls. Score 10 plus points from the next roll. Open Frame: Score the total pins knocked down if not all pins are down.     Remember that the third frame allows up to three rolls. Get an extra roll for a strike or spare. Every serious player aspires to bowl what is called the Perfect Game. The maximum score for a single frame is 30, so rolling a Perfect Game in Bowling Crew means getting 90 points. For more detailed info, check the full scoring guide. Keep bowling and aim for those strikes! 🎳

Balls: A Complete Guide

Ball types and rarity There are four ball types: Beginner balls. These cannot  be upgraded. You start with these balls. Power balls are the heaviest. These balls are engineered to knock down a large set of pins. Bounce balls are designed to give you a better chance of completing splits. Precise balls are easier to use and weigh less that power balls. These balls are great for knocking down a small group of pins. Their main advantage is their bigger size. Balls have different qualities: Common balls have blue cards. When a new common ball is unlocked, its level is 1. Rare balls have gold cards. When a new rare ball is unlocked, its level is 3. Epic balls have violet cards. When a new epic ball is unlocked, its level is 5.   How do I get more balls? Standard balls become available once you reach certain Alleys. This means that they can start appearing in cases. You can check this in the ball's description (tap on the ball). Upon reaching the Alley, you get an opportunity to get cards specific to the Alley though the following method: Unlocking cases that you get for victories Play a game and claim a daily reward Getting a crown case Getting cases for completing missions Taking a free case in the Shop (with a chance) Purchasing in the shop Getting a case as a league reward When you receive a ball card for the first time, that ball is unlocked. You can get its cards from any case, including cases from lower-level Alleys. New balls do not drop often. If you've reached a certain Alley it doesn't guarantee that all balls of that Alley are being unlocked. The positive side of this is that the fewer balls you have, the easier it is to upgrade them. But if your goal is to collect all balls, then you can purchase Collector's Cases in the Shop, which have a 100% chance of giving you a new ball. Please note, that it's not necessary to purchase them. All balls, except premium and rank balls, can be unlocked for free during the game, but it might take some time.   What different ball stats represent? Upgrading balls will affect two of their stats: Weight — the higher this stat, the higher level pin you can knock down. Hook Control — the higher this stat, the slower the pointer moves on the hook controller. There are three parameters that remain constant with ball upgrades. Speed — determines how fast the ball rolls down the lane. Guide — the higher this stat, the longer the green predict line is. Hook — the higher this stat, the more intensely a ball can hook.   How do I upgrade balls? Balls can be upgraded in the Arsenal. You need chips and ball cards for upgrading. The maximum level is 20 for all balls. Keep in mind that after reaching the maximum level for a Ball you will keep getting its cards. These cards will be converted into the chips added to your account. If you have enough cards to upgrade a ball, there will be a green arrow pointing up next to the progress bar on the ball.   By tapping on the ball, you'll see how many chips are required for the next upgrade. The light gray part is the current value of Power / Speed / Guide / Hook / Hook control. The green part is the value after the upgrade. The dark gray part shows the value at the ball's maximum level.     Ball comparison and rearrangement When you start a game, six balls in the ball return system are placed in the exact same order as in your Arsenal. The bowled ball returns to the end of the line. To change the ball in your deck in the Arsenal, pick a new ball from your available balls, tap on it, then tap on the slot where you want to place it. You can compare balls in the Arsenal. Tap on the ball, tap Comparison button, then add another ball to the comparison by tapping on it.   Which balls are better? Improving your balls is one of the goals in the game. For a comfortable experience, keep your balls' level no lower than the number of Alley you are playing. For example, if you play on Alley 5 (Asian Drift), make sure your balls are leveled up to at least level 5.
