The Bowling Alley is a section in the Second City, and as an accessory to the Adventures. To begin bowling, you must first buy a pair of bowling shoes from the flea market in the Bus Station for 2,500 cans. You can also purchase a optional Extra Large Bowling Ball at the Tin Can Alley flea market for 250 cans.

The Basics

Bowling costs 15T, as well as a lane fee in the list below.

In order to throw a shot, use the option buttons along the bottom to determine the launch point and the buttons on the top to set an aim. Use the bottom to set a spin to the ball.

Opponents

Each bowler is progressively more difficult, scoring a greater average score, offering a greater reward. You'll start with only Shane the Bowler. To unlock additional opponents, you'll need to both beat the opponent and roll a certain score (Editor's Note: If someone wants to mail me these values, please do).

• Shane the Bowler
• Mocha Joe Jitterhands
• Professor Spare
• Curveball Paul of the north, then west

Lanes

Rule of thumb: The more expensive the lane, the less bumps the lane has.

• Death Mountain ($100)
• The Plank ($500)
• Penny Lane ($1000)
• Smooth Ride ($5000)

Strategy

Compensate for the wind on the first shot to try and get a dead-centre roll. From there, try and cleanup as soon as possible.

A recently added item from Hoburbia, the third city, is the Extra Large Bowling Ball. It is currently unknown, or at least unexplored, what the benefits of the larger ball are.

Rewards

For achieving a score of 150 or more against Professor Spare, you'll be awarded the Gas Mask, which reduces the cost of moving in the sewers from 2T to 1T. It is highly recommended you obtain it, as it will save you a large amount of T in the long run.
