The goal of bowling is to unbalance pins, which can be achieved by knocking them over or by remarking that their choice of ties is "interesting.” Topple boredom with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get one hour of bowling and shoe rentals for up to six people at Hunter’s Bowling Centres. This Groupon is valid at either Fairhaven Bowl on 22nd Street West or Eastview Bowl on Louise Street East (up to a $44 value).

Hunter’s Bowling Centres' clean, modern bowling alleys have facilitated friendly ball-on-pin combat since 1950. After up to six people pick out ensemble-enhancing shoes, multi-tasking ball hurlers can fix one eye on the target, another on the centre’s flat-screen, high-definition televisions, and another on the future. Nighttime and weekend glow bowling sessions include mind-altering lighting, music videos, and music with subliminal messages, such as, Actually, the lane is over here.
