Utterly useless outside the realm of competitive raccoon tickling, the human thumb would have no conceivable function were it not required to guide a bowling ball to its target. Treat it to a little rabies-free fun with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $5 for two bowling games or 30 minutes of bowling, plus shoe rental, for one (up to a $16.82 average value)
$15 for one hour of bowling games and shoe rental for up to four (a $41.33 average value)

During peak hours at some locations bowling is only offered by the hour and not by the game; the $5 option must be redeemed for 30 minutes of bowling during these times. Click here to check per-game availability at desired location.
