The Liberty Falls Bowling Easter Egg is one of the hidden side activities in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies. This secret transports players into a retro bowling mini-game where zombies replace bowling pins, rewarding skilled throws with points, loot, and an achievement.
This guide explains exactly how to activate the bowling Easter egg, where to find all required items, and how to complete the mini-game successfully.
What Is the Liberty Falls Bowling Easter Egg?
The bowling Easter egg is a side activity on the Liberty Falls Zombies map. By locating and shooting hidden bowling shoes across the map, players unlock access to a secret bowling alley dimension.
Once activated, players are temporarily teleported into a bowling mini-game where the goal is simple:
Use bowling balls to eliminate zombies and score enough points before time runs out.
How to Start the Bowling Easter Egg
To activate the Easter egg, you must find and shoot five hidden pairs of bowling shoes scattered around Liberty Falls.
Important notes before starting:
- Shoes can be shot in any order
- Any weapon works
- You can do this in solo or co-op
- The Easter egg can be completed early or late game
Once all five pairs are shot, the mini-game activates automatically.
All Bowling Shoe Locations
1. Pay & Pump Gas Station
Inside the gas station, look through the front window. The bowling shoes are visible on the counter behind the glass.
2. Frank’s Hardware Store
Near the Riverside area, check the shop window of Frank’s Hardware. The shoes are visible inside and can be shot through the glass.
3. Hill Street House
Inside one of the Hill Street houses, the bowling shoes can be found underneath a chair in the living room area.
4. Cemetery Area
Near the cemetery, look beyond the playable boundary. A pair of bowling shoes can be seen hanging from a tree outside the map.
5. Benson’s Burial Services
At the funeral home, check near the entrance leading down toward the bowling alley. The shoes are visible through a window or doorway.
Entering the Bowling Mini-Game
After shooting the fifth pair of shoes:
- A visual effect triggers
- All players are teleported
- You arrive inside a special bowling alley version of Liberty Falls
This area is separate from the main map and only lasts for a limited time.
How the Bowling Mini-Game Works
Inside the bowling alley:
- Zombies walk across bowling lanes
- You receive a bowling ball
- Traditional weapons are disabled
- You must throw the bowling ball to eliminate zombies
Each zombie hit adds points to your bowling score.
How to Score Points
- Charge your throw before releasing the bowling ball
- Aim for groups of zombies walking together
- Timing matters more than speed
- Hitting multiple zombies in one throw increases your score rapidly
The mini-game ends automatically once the timer runs out.
Required Score for Completion
To fully complete the Easter egg, you must reach:
300 points or higher
Reaching this score unlocks the related achievement and guarantees better rewards.
Playing in co-op is often easier, as more zombies spawn during the mini-game.
Rewards
Successfully completing the Liberty Falls Bowling Easter Egg can reward:
- Deadwood achievement or trophy
- Bonus essence
- Random loot drops
- Cosmetic rewards depending on performance
Even if you fail, the Easter egg can be attempted again later in the match.
Can You Replay the Bowling Easter Egg?
Yes.
If you do not reach the required score, the bowling mini-game can be reactivated later by interacting with the bowling-related window near the alley area, allowing another attempt during the same match.
Tips for Best Results
- Fully charge every throw
- Wait for zombies to line up before releasing
- Aim slightly ahead of walking zombies
- Co-op runs make high scores easier
- Avoid panic throws — patience scores higher
Final Notes
The Liberty Falls Bowling Easter Egg is one of the most entertaining side activities in Black Ops 6 Zombies. While it doesn’t progress the main storyline, it provides a fun break from standard survival gameplay and offers worthwhile rewards for players willing to master the timing.
Perfect for early-game boosts or achievement hunters, this Easter egg is highly recommended for all Liberty Falls runs.
