Throw nine darts at a classic 20-segment board. The crosshair sways in a slow Lissajous figure — tap when it lines up. Triple-20 = 60, bull = 50. Free in browser.
Click or tap the board to throw at the current crosshair position. The crosshair moves on its own — time your tap. Each throw scatters slightly, so aim a fraction ahead of the bullseye, triple, or your target number. Nine darts per round.
Darts has been a pub sport for over a century, but the modern numbered board layout — 20 at the top, then 1 to its right, 18 to its left, working clockwise through 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14, 9, 12, 5 — was designed by Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin in 1896 to penalise erratic throwers. Adjacent numbers are deliberately far apart, so missing the segment you aimed for usually costs you points.
This game is a 9-dart "maximum" challenge. The crosshair sways across the board in a slow Lissajous figure; tap when it lines up with your target. Throws scatter slightly, so the goal is to time the click for the moment the crosshair passes through a high-value zone — triple-20 for sixty, double-20 for forty, bullseye for fifty.
The theoretical maximum for nine darts is 540 (9 × T20). In real tournament play it has been achieved at the end of a 501 leg only nine times in PDC history, so don't be discouraged if your score lands well short — a steady 300+ run on a wobbly virtual board is already excellent practice for the real thing.
It maximises the punishment for inaccuracy. The 20 is flanked by 1 and 5 — two of the lowest numbers — so missing your prime target wide either way drops you to bottom-of-board score. Adjacent zones were deliberately mismatched by Brian Gamlin in 1896.
It traces a composite sine wave (a Lissajous-like figure) with non-integer ratio frequencies, so the path is dense but slow-moving and never trivially repeats.
Each throw adds 5–10 pixels of random offset. It's a small skill simulation — even a real pro doesn't land every dart exactly where they aim.
540 — nine triple-20s. It's vanishingly rare even with infinite practice; consistent 200+ totals are already a solid run.
Not in this version — Darts 9 is a single-player chase-your-best mode. Two-player and 501-style modes are on the roadmap.
Yes — bullseye is 50 and triple-19 is 57, so bullseye is actually slightly *less* than triple-19. But it has a much larger target radius, so it's safer.
