So what is it? A plain white Smartboard® is used, with gameplay graphics and targets projected onto it. This makes it easy to see the objectives of the game. Plus, some cool graphics are projected around the board for extra fun! You can customise your game by choosing an emoji, or taking a selfie for your player photo.
AR Darts, or SMARTS AR Darts, is an augmented reality version of traditional darts that projects targets and scores directly onto a white Smartboard®. This system enhances the gameplay by making it more interactive and visually engaging, while still using real darts and a physical dartboard.
Each session lasts for 1 hour and accommodates up to 6 players per lane.
The minimum age to play is 14 years. However, players under 18 must be accompanied by a playing adult.
While each session accommodates up to 6 players, larger groups can be organised by booking multiple lanes.
It’s recommended to book AR Darts in advance to secure your spot, especially during busy periods. Walk-ins may be accommodated, but availability is not guaranteed.
There is no specific minimum number of players required, but each session is designed for up to 6 participants. Individual bookings may be accepted, but players are encouraged to attend in groups to enhance the experience.
You’ll never be short on choice. Our AR Darts system includes a variety of interactive games like Disco Wall, Killer, Halve It, Robin Hood, Lives, Battlefields, X01, and Shanghai. Whether you’re competitive or just in it for fun, there’s a game to match your vibe.
SMARTS AR Darts uses a real Unicorn Smartboard with real darts — but with a twist. A projector overlays graphics onto the dartboard and surrounding area, guiding you through each game. As you throw, the system tracks where your dart lands and updates the score in real time. It’s all controlled by a touchscreen interface that lets you pick games, add players, and even order food and drink.
Not at all! AR Darts is designed for everyone — from total beginners to seasoned throwers. With different difficulty levels and interactive games, it’s easy to join in and have a laugh, regardless of skill level.
No — SMARTS AR Darts works with a Smartboard for greater accuracy and reliability. Unlike camera-based systems, our tech doesn’t need constant calibration, making your experience smoother and more responsive.
No stress! The system includes an easy-to-use touchscreen where you can skip players, delete scores, or hit the “miss” button if your dart didn’t stick. It’s all part of the fun and flexibility of AR Darts.
If there’s availability after your booking, we’d love to keep the fun going. Just speak to a member of our team on the day and we’ll do our best to extend your time (additional costs may apply).
Yes — if someone in your group isn’t playing, they’re welcome to hang out and watch. We’ve got comfy seating and drinks available too.
