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 1,000 cans. You can also purchase an optional Extra Large Bowling Ball at the Tin Can Alley flea market for 250 cans. Also the top 10 bowlers who achieve the highest scores will be listed in the Bowling Alley.

Bowling Basics

Bowling costs 15T you will have your choice of an opponent and lane.
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.

Bowling Opponents

Each bowler is progressively more difficult but they offer a greater reward. You'll start with only 2 bowlers. To unlock additional opponents, you'll need to both beat the opponent and bowl a certain score.

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. Make note of the speed and direction of the wind. You can counter the winds effects by changing your starting point (at the bottom), your aim point (at the top), or the type of spin you put on the ball (on the right).

Rewards

Defeating your opponent in bowling gives you cash and/or stat points.
For achieving a score of 150 or more against Professor Spare, you'll be awarded with 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.
