Our Software
Bowling Software That's
Anything But Standard
Built from the ground up with modern game development tools. A complete entertainment platform, from scoring to game design to venue management.
The Platform
Written from Scratch
The platform covers everything: game logic, scoring engines, touchscreen control, visual themes, player management, and venue dashboards. Because we wrote every line, we can adapt any part of it to suit your project.
The software controls the pinsetters at the individual pin level, meaning we can set any pin arrangement on the deck. This is what makes game modes like Wings, Tall Poppies, and Stina possible, and opens the door to entirely new styles of play that traditional systems cannot support.
Game Modes
16+ Ways to Play
- Classics: Traditional Tenpin with optional custom rulesets, plus Full Frame and timed variants

Timed Formats
15-Minute Games, Designed from the Ground Up
For venue operators, this means up to 72 guests per hour across 4 lanes with sub-five-minute changeovers. For families at home, it means more game variety in a single session. Players can try three or four different game modes in an hour instead of playing one format all evening.
Customisation
Your Brand, Your Rules
Background colours, LED lighting, and basic visual settings can be adjusted by you at any time through the touchscreen console. For deeper changes like branded scoring animations, custom colour schemes, venue logos, or modified game rules, we make those changes for you as part of the setup or through ongoing support.
The software also integrates with home automation systems, allowing lighting scenes, audio, and display screens to respond during play. For venues managing multiple lanes, a local web-based dashboard handles control and monitoring from a single screen.
Integration
One Team, One System
This means tight integration between the scoring system and the pinsetters, the consoles, and the lane hardware. It also means that when you need support, there is one phone number to call.
