You'll never want to play regular 10 pin bowling again!

Short and to the point. Also well written.
I like it, and have no suggestions for improvement.

One typo:
"ammounts" should be "amounts"

Sounds like fun.
I would have done this, 30 years ago.
But as a grandparent I say, tsk, and leave it to the teenagers.
Another typo:
alchohol = alcohol.

I really like this! Such a nice breather from all the long, micro-detailed, and in some cases overdone entries.

A few point perhaps worth mentioning:
The adult version of Cosmic Bowling is also known known as Midnight Bowling or Rock n Bowl in many US bowling alleys.
There are often prizes and/or gambling involved -- generally involving getting a strike when a special colored pin is the head pin.
At some bowling alleys, these nights are popular enough that you need a reservation to play.
This is also a big thing at the New Year's Eve and Halloween bashes many bowling alleys throw.

It's been four weeks since Ozeepete posted - I hope he comes back to work on this entry. I think it needs more content, although never having come across cosmic bowling myself I'm kind of at a loss to say what

When I went bowling if you had an orange pin at the point of the triangle of pins, the DJ would come over to your lane. He would look at what scores you'd been getting, and give you a target score for the next ball. If you got that score you got a prize. When he came over to me it was the first ball of a new game, so none of my previous scores were showing, which was quite lucky as I'd been getting 7s 8s and 9s. He didn't know this so gave me a target of 3

hmmmmm... I move it goes to the Flea Market. There's enough here between the entry and the thread for someone to really fly with.
