How to play with friends – Bowling Crew

Friends

To start playing with your friends go to the Crew screen, Friends tab.

This is the list of your friends. There can be three types of players:

Players who invited you to the game.
Players who were invited by you.
Players who are your Facebook friends.

If you can't see your friends in this list, make sure that you and your Facebook friend have granted the app access to your Facebook friend list.

Friend's status

In this tab, you can see the friends' statuses: Online/Offline/Busy (in a match).

Only online friends who are not in a match can be invited. Tap the Play button right next to the friend's name and start a match.

What do I need to start a match?

To invite someone to a match with you, you need a special Friendly Match Ticket. Learn how to get these tickets here.

Pay with tickets to start a friendly match. If you are out of tickets, you can purchase them with gold.

A ticket will be taken from the player who is inviting.

In the match, you will have the same balls you've equipped. Your friend will also have his equipped balls. For a better experience, your balls should be approximately the same level.

Sending and accepting an invitation

To invite a friend, tap the Play button next to his name. You'll see an Alley selector screen.

You can enter any Alley that you have unlocked (no matter which Alley level is unlocked by your friend). Swipe to the sides to change the Alley.

Your friend will be notified which Alley you're going to enter. When you send an invitation, your invitee may accept or decline it.

You can cancel the invitation while it is pending. To do so, tap the Back button.

What will happen in case of a cancellation/decline?

If your friend declines an invitation, you'll get a ticket back. The same will happen if you cancel the match before it starts.

Please keep in mind that if you have no tickets, you pay gold for a ticket, not for a match. And in case the match is cancelled, the inviter will get a ticket back, not gold.

Rewards

Complete a certain number of victories in Friendly matches to get this colorful trail. There is a progress bar in the bottom of your friend list showing how many more victories you need to get the reward.
