Party Dart Game Modes

When darts becomes a night out with friends. In FRISBEE you bring down clay pigeons inside a three-second window, in BALLOON you pop 21 balloons, in BATTLESHIP you sink ships on the board, and in FIREWORKS everyone lights up their own sky. The rules take a minute to explain, and the board’s colours show you where to throw.

All Party modes

Frisbee — Clay shooting against the clock

Clay pigeon shooting on the dartboard: after a 3-2-1 countdown one to three target numbers light up yellow, and you have 3 seconds for your dart. A triple scores 3, a double 2, a single 1. Keep hitting and your hits count double from the third in a row, triple from the fifth and quadruple from the eighth. About one clay in six is golden and scores five times over.

Balloon — Pop 21 balloons

21 balloons light up on the board: two neighbouring numbers always share one balloon in the outer ring and one in the inner ring, with the heart in the middle. One hit pops the whole balloon. A balloon is worth 100 points, and from your third hit in a row every hit earns another 600. Each turn one of your balloons is golden and counts triple.

Bowling — 10 frames on the dartboard

Ten-frame bowling on the dartboard. Each frame draws a target number, and its red rings knock down every pin: with your first dart that is a strike, with your second a spare. The target's other rings knock down 8 or 9 pins, the neighbouring numbers a few, but never all of them. Scoring works like real bowling, with bonuses for strikes and spares.

Fireworks — Light up your own sky

Everyone fires their own sky of 21 rockets: the numbers 1 to 20 and the bull. A segment you hit scores its value times your streak, then goes dark. Every hit raises the streak by one, up to ×8. A triple sets off its neighbours, red segments take rockets away from the leader, and in round eight every rocket counts triple.

Bingo — One card, one line wins

Everyone plays on the same 5×5 card: 24 random fields such as S5, D20, T14 or bull, plus a free space in the middle. Hit a field exactly and it is yours, and nobody else can have it any more. The first to get five in a row, across, down or diagonally, wins on the spot.

Battleship — Battleships on the dartboard

Battleships on the dartboard: everyone hides three ships of 1, 2 and 3 segments on the board using the touchscreen. Then each player throws three darts per turn, hunting for the other fleets. Hits light up red on the board, and hitting every segment of a ship sinks it. The last player with ships left wins; after 12 rounds the undamaged ship segments decide.
