About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a bowling experience that's completely out of the ordinary with Wonder Bowling! Here, the ball doesn't roll; it's 'flicked' forcefully onto the lane to knock down pins. But pay attention: the trick isn't how many pins you knock down, but how many you manage to leave standing! Knocking them all down is a penalty, and leaving just one is the coveted strike! The secret to success? Precise control of the flick, not too strong, not too weak, so the vibration does the right job. You don't need to be a bowling expert to have fun, you know? It's a pure action game that promises lots of laughs and moments of intense tension. Wonder Bowling proves that a bowling game can be surprising and innovative. Players take turns, each with their specific goals, trying to be the first to achieve them. The game box transforms into part of the lane, adding a creative and compact touch to the experience. With quick games and simple rules, it's perfect for those seeking uncomplicated fun and a dexterity challenge that will test your aim and control. Step onto this crazy lane and see who can master the art of 'Wonder Bowling'!
