DARTS

SEE IT IN ACTION

Never played 501 before? This video breaks down exactly how the game works — scoring, doubles out, and why you should always aim for the treble 20.

WHAT IS DARTS?

Darts is the OG pub game — three darts, one board, a target you probably miss the first time and can't stop thinking about hitting after that. We play the classic 501 format: both teams start at 501 points and count down to zero. The twist? You have to finish on a double. That last dart matters.

HOW WE PLAY IT

• Teams of 2: Sign up solo (we'll match you) or bring a partner.
• Round-robin format: Every team plays every other team during the season.
• Best of 3 legs: Each match is best-of-3. First to reach zero (on a double) wins the leg.
• Starting score: 501 per team, counting down. Both players throw each round.
• Season length: 6 weeks, one game night per week.

SCORING

The board is divided into numbered sections (1–20) plus a bullseye. Thin outer ring = double the segment. Thin inner ring = triple the segment. Bullseye outer = 25 pts. Bullseye centre = 50 pts.

• Treble 20: The highest single-throw score — 60 points. The golden zone.
• Bullseye: 50 points. Satisfying every time.
• Bust rule: If you go below zero, your score for that round doesn't count and you stay where you are.
• Finishing: You must hit exactly zero on a double to win the leg. No going past.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?

No. Seriously — don't worry about it. Most people walk in having only played darts casually at a pub, and that's exactly the right level. We do a quick format rundown before your first game night, and the doubles-out rule clicks pretty fast. By week 3, you'll be aiming for treble 20s like everyone else.
