Miniature Bowling Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Brando Workshop's 'Mini Wooden Desktop Bowling Game' is a Fun Distraction

— February 10, 2017 — Life-Stages
It's often said that fidgeting can foster creativity, and if that's the case then Brando Workshop's 'Mini Wooden Desktop Bowling Game' is a veritable font of new ideas. Small enough to sit discreetly on one's desk, the game lets people zone out and play the age old game of bowling with just a single hand.

Brando Workshop's creation consists of a wooden lane (complete with gutters on each side, triangles for aiming, and a backstop,) ten small wooden pins, a ramp for aiming and shooting, and a metal ball (similar in appearance to a ball bearing.) The ball sits on top of the ramp for players to flick it off, and the ramp can be adjusted to aim for the perfect strike every time.

1. Desktop Games - The rise of miniature desktop games offers opportunities for companies to create unique and innovative gaming experiences for adults.
