How to play Darts Night
Darts Night is a pub game of darts for one or two players. Pick 301, 501 or cricket, play a single leg or the best of three, and face a bot at easy, medium or hard level, or sit down with a friend on the same screen.
Your crosshair sways around where you aim. Hold the button and the sway settles after a second, so you can place a dart in a treble or a double. Hold too long and your arm tires. In 301 and 501 you count down from the start score in rounds of three darts and must finish exactly on zero with a double; the red bull counts as a double, and going below zero or leaving one is a bust. A checkout hint shows a way out whenever you are in range. In cricket you close 20 down to 15 and the bull with three marks each, and score on numbers the other side has not closed.
A video can give you a steady hand for one turn, once per match. Your record, best leg in darts, checkout percentage and best average are saved on your device. No account, no download.

FAQ
How do I finish a game of 301 or 501?
Reach exactly zero and make the last dart a double. The red bull in the centre counts as a double. If you go below zero, leave one, or hit zero with a single or triple, it is a bust and the score goes back to where the turn began.
Why does the crosshair move?
It sways like a real arm. Press and hold and the sway shrinks over about a second; hold for more than two seconds and it grows again. Release to throw where the crosshair is.
How does cricket work here?
Close the numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and the bull with three marks each (a double is two marks, a treble three). Once you have closed a number and the other side has not, more hits on it score points. Close everything while level or ahead on points to win.
Can two people play?
Yes. Choose Friend in the menu and take turns on the same device. Against the bot you can pick easy, medium or hard.

Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Touch and drag to aim (the crosshair sits above your finger), keep holding to steady it, lift to throw.
