Garden Darts brings the classic pub game of darts outdoors and scales everything up — large soft-tipped darts, an oversized target, and no requirement for a dartboard on a wall. It’s one of those games that immediately draws a competitive crowd, appeals to guests of all ages, and requires no special skill to enjoy from the very first throw.
How to Play Garden Darts
The standard format follows traditional darts scoring — each player starts with 301 or 501 points and takes turns throwing three darts per round. The score for each throw is deducted from the player’s total. The aim is to reach exactly zero, with the final dart landing on a double to finish.
For casual play at events, a simpler highest-score-wins format works well — each player throws three darts and the highest combined total wins the round. Quick, easy, and keeps queues moving.
