Giant Skittles takes the satisfying simplicity of outdoor bowling — set them up, knock them down — and scales everything up to a size that works for events. The crash of pins going down draws a cheer from anyone nearby, and the near-misses draw an even bigger one. No experience needed, no complicated rules — just roll and bowl.
How to Play Giant Skittles
Players take turns rolling a large ball from a set distance, aiming to knock down as many skittles as possible. Each player gets two rolls per turn — the first to knock down as many as possible, the second to clear any remaining. The number of skittles knocked down in both rolls counts as the player’s score for that round. Play continues for an agreed number of rounds and the highest total score wins.
