Darts
Stop two needles to aim. Nine darts. Go for treble 20.
How to play
Aim in two taps. A needle sweeps left and right across the board: tap to stop it. Then a second needle sweeps up and down: tap again and the dart lands where the two cross, with a tiny wobble.
It's a standard board: 20 at the top with 1 and 5 beside it. The thin inner ring triples a number and the outer ring doubles it. The bull is 25 and the bullseye 50. Treble 20 is the best single dart at 60.
Three rounds of three darts. The needles speed up a little after every throw. Your score is the total of all nine darts.

Tips & strategy
- Treble 20 is only a thin ring. Its neighbours are 1 and 5, so a near miss costs a lot. 19 sits between 7 and 3: the safer treble.
- Watch the needle's rhythm and tap a little early. It speeds up after every dart, so re-time each throw.
- The bull (25) and bullseye (50) sit dead center, so you only have to stop each needle at its halfway mark. That rhythm is the easiest one to learn.
- There's a small wobble on every dart, so aim for the middle of a ring, not its edge.
