MRT BOWL
MRT BOWL Limited is a ten-pin bowling company established by London150 as a new sport and leisure activity. Pins form as a triangle of 5, into an arrow shape. The company was formed on the 30th January 2019, after creating a bowling alley in his singleplayer world.
Main Introduction to Minecraft Ten-Pin Bowling, what to do..
The main objective is to get a high score in normal bowling in real life. It doesn't matter how many strikes you get; as long as you're playing for fun, it's great! Firstly, you have a selection of bowling balls that can vary in different colours and shade. These balls have 3 holes (1 wide one at the bottom for your thumb and 2 slightly smaller ones at the top for your two fingers). Your thumb and two fingers will then grip the ball, and you can bowl it underarm towards the pins at the other end.
HOWEVER.. In Minecraft Bowling... you cannot do all of the above. You have to stand on the orange line and press the drop key (whatever your drop item key is on your keyboard). There is only 2 types of bowling balls at MRT BOWL, one of those is a snowball, the other being a slime ball. Other items can be used but with permission from London to allow them to be in the alley. There is also a ball return machine where you can use the MRT BOWL's bowling balls in case the one you were holding despawns.

- So far, Peaslake and Spruce Valley are the only alleys that have 8 lanes and an Eat and Bowl. Some towns may not have MRT Stations nearby to the alleys; please check before you travel.
- Spruce Valley is the only bowling alley that has lanes above the ground floor.
- Asterisks indicate that an Eat & Bowl is no longer the cafe provider for MRT BOWL. Hightech is currently inactive and therefore no further Eat & Bowls will be present at MRT BOWL unless Hightech does return regularly.
In 2023, London did announce that MRT BOWL will be making a comeback. It has proved popular and is now taking orders for 2023. If you would like an MRT BOWL, please check the MRT Discord's #media-announcements channel. An order form is listed on there.

Price List
MRT BOWL boss LondonThameslink constructs the bowling alleys by hand to minimise problems with the works. Here is the official price list for 2023 for your bowling lanes! (Note; all prices are in MRT Dollars, not in real life money)
1 or 2 lanes | $10 |
3 lanes | $20 |
4 lanes | $30 |
A maximum of 6 lanes will be offered if won in a competition event.
Cities can have 2 venues if they hold the rank of Governor or above. You must be trustee rank or above to apply for an MRT BOWL alley as the lanes themselves contain ice, which is not allowed to be placed by member or citizen ranks.
