A PINtzee scorecard with dice and bowling pins on a lamp-lit wooden lane

New for Thanksgiving · Free to play

Pass the pie. Roll the dice.
Bowl a strike.

Meet PINtzee™, a brand-new game of bowling with dice, made for the whole family.

When the turkey's done and everyone's crowded around the table, you need a game that a 9-year-old and a grandpa can both play, and one that gets a little competitive.

PINtzee is ten frames of real bowling, scored the real way, but you bowl with two dice. Roll a 10 and it's a strike. Leave pins standing and you get more rolls to pick up the spare. It's inspired by classic dice games like Yahtzee: roll, choose which dice to keep, and push your luck, all on a bowling scorecard.

No app store, no download. It runs right in your phone's browser. See the game, follow along, and sign up for the PINtzee newsletter at the official website, pintzee.com.

Three ways to play this Thanksgiving

📱 Around the table, or across town

Everyone plays on their own phone — family around the Thanksgiving table, or family across town. Open PINtzee, tap Play Game, then Network. One person hosts a lane and gets a lane code to say out loud or text. Up to four players, each on their own phone or computer, bowl the same game live. You'll need Wi-Fi or cellular.

Prefer to take turns on your own time? Finish a game and tap Challenge a Friend to send a link with your score. They bowl the very same dice and try to beat you.

Sharing one phone

Someone at the table without a phone? You can also play on a single device. Choose Stand Alone, add up to four bowlers, and pass the phone after each frame.

🎲 Just you vs. PINtzee

Need a breather from the relatives? Take on the house challenge: PINtzee bowled a 149. Same dice, same lane. Can you beat it?
