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.

16+ Game Modes Regular Updates

The Platform

Written from Scratch

LaneCraft's software is built in-house using modern game development tools. Every screen, every animation, and every interaction was designed and coded by the same team that installs the lanes.

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

Every game mode has its own scoring engine, its own win conditions, and its own visual presentation. They do not just change how the score is displayed. They change what you are trying to do on the lane.

Timed Formats

15-Minute Games, Designed from the Ground Up

Our timed game formats are not shortened versions of a traditional match. They are purpose-built for fast, competitive play where every shot counts from the first frame.

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

The software is built to adapt to your space, not the other way around. Some settings you control directly from the console. For everything else, we handle it.

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

The software, the hardware, and the installation are all handled by the same team. There is no separate software vendor, no third-party installer, and no ambiguity about who is responsible.

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.
