How it works
Pick a game. Throw. Argue about it later.
STEP 01
Add the players
Two to eight, and saved players keep their stats between nights. Then pick a single game or start a Dartful Party.
STEP 02
Tap what you hit
Real dartboard, real darts. Two taps per throw, and the app remembers the rules better than the group does.
STEP 03
It all gets written down
Results land in match history, party records and head‑to‑heads. You just bring the darts.
The lineup
All twenty modes
Nine classics done properly, eight party games you've almost certainly never played, and three co‑ops where everybody loses together. The seventeen competitive modes are the ones eligible for Dartful Party.
Classic Darts
09501 / 301 / 701
Race to zero with the in/out rules of your choice, then string legs into a full match.
Cricket
Close out 20 through 15 and the Bull first, then pile points on anything they haven't.
Killer
Earn your number, become a Killer, then hunt down every other player's lives.
Shanghai
Single, double and triple on the same number in one visit — instant win.
Around the Clock
1 to 20 in order, finish on the Bull. The purest test of aim there is.
Halve It
Twelve unforgiving rounds. Miss the target and watch half your total disappear.
Baseball
Nine innings, one number per inning. See how many runs you can drive in.
Golf
Fewest strokes wins. Triples are your friend; misses cost you dearly.
Bob's 27
Start at 27, take every double in order. Miss and it costs you double the number.
Party Games
08Boomshot
Bank points near the bull, dodge the Ring of Fire — highest score after every round wins.
Cat Derby
Hit your own number to move forward, hit theirs to send them back.
Adam's Equation
Land exactly on zero using only addition and multiplication. Brutal to pull off.
Longshot
One random target — hit it or lose a life.
Turf War
Claim four numbers in a row around the board — and defend your turf.
Leapfrog
Every visit has to beat the one before it. Fall behind and you're out.
Checkout Horse
Call your shot, then back it up. Miss and you pick up a letter.
Clockwork Killer
Race your own clock around the board, or break off to attack any opponent and push them back.
Co‑op
03Burn Rate
One team, one board on fire. Put every blaze out before it spreads.
Combo Lock
Hit the sequence together before the team runs out of darts.
Tower
Stack the team's score and build to the target height before time runs out.
A look at it
Straight from the app
Questions, answered
Before your first throw
What is Dartful?
A local multiplayer darts app for a real dartboard. Twenty game modes, Dartful Party championships, player profiles and match history — and no pressure to be any good at it.
Does Dartful track darts statistics and match history?
Yes. Saved players keep a profile with their match history and stats — games played, wins, best checkout and results per mode — kept over time instead of wiped at the end of the night.
Can I track records against friends?
Yes. Head‑to‑head records between saved players, all‑time leaderboards and win streaks mean your rivalries finally have a scoreline instead of two conflicting memories.
What is Dartful Party?
A multi‑game championship for 2–8 players. Pick a Quick, Classic or Epic length, choose from 17 eligible competitive modes or let Surprise Me build a balanced lineup, tweak the rules, then play for championship points with live standings, final‑round scenarios, awards and a shareable result card. Co‑op games sit outside the championship and stay available on their own. Full details here.
Does Dartful Party save championship history?
Yes. Every party is saved with titles, podium finishes, total championship points, win streaks and the current defending champion. More on Dartful Party.
Can I see who has won the most Dartful Parties?
Yes. The all‑time leaderboard ranks everyone by titles won, with podiums and total points beside them, and marks whoever is defending. See how history and rivalries work.
Does Dartful work with a normal dartboard?
Yes — any standard board and any darts, including the bent ones. You tap your throws in; no electronic board, no camera, no calibration.
Is Dartful good for casual darts with friends?
That's the whole point. Two to eight players on one screen, the app handling every rule, and party games that don't care what your average is.
Does Dartful have party games?
Eight original ones, plus three co‑ops where the whole group plays as one team — alongside nine classics scored properly. See the full lineup.
How many can play?
Two to eight on one shared screen, across competitive, team and co‑op modes. Most modes work from two players up — a few, like Checkout Horse, need at least three. Eight is chaos. Eight is recommended.
Is it free?
Free to download with three games a day. Unlimited play and Dartful Party are $9.99 a year, with no ads or other purchases.
Do I need an account or the internet?
No account to start a game. Play is local and shared‑screen, and profiles, history and Party records live on the device — so it works fine in a shed with bad reception.
Is it good for families?
The games are family‑friendly, but darts are pointy — kids should be supervised, with age‑appropriate kit and a clear throwing area.
Are new modes coming?
Yes. New modes turn up in app updates — and the twenty listed here all work right now.
Who makes this
Hi, I'm Leigh
I'm a solo developer, and I'm resolutely average at darts. What I actually enjoy is playing with mates — and it's the arcade modes we keep coming back to, funnily enough.
I built Dartful because it's the app I wanted for our own nights — proper scoring for the classics, plus a pile of games built around a real board with people in the room. Then we started caring who'd won the most, so it learned to keep records too.
If you've got a mode in mind, send it to me — dartfulapp@gmail.com. I'd rather keep the list tight than pile things on for the sake of it, but if it's a good idea, I'll find room for it. And somewhere down the track I'd like to ship a mode builder, so you can put together whatever game you can dream up.
Grab your darts. I'll keep the records.
Free on the App Store and Google Play. Twenty modes, Dartful Party championships, full match history, three free games a day, and absolutely no judgement.
