About

Sticks

Read full description

Sticks is the online platform for real darts. Point your phone at the board, throw, and let it watch. An on-device algorithm tracks every dart in real time, calculates the score, and shows it to you and your opponent. No tapping on a screen, no manual scoring, no shortcuts. Just real darts — your phone is the referee. YOUR PHONE IS THE REFEREE The camera continuously watches the board. The moment a dart lands, an algorithm detects exactly where it hit and assigns the correct score. If something looks off — a moved board, a dart appearing out of nowhere — the round is voided as a foul. The result: an automatic, impartial referee both players can trust. REAL DARTS, REAL COMPETITION Match online against players from anywhere in the world. Both phones see the same scores in real time. The referee enforces the rules on both sides, so every win is earned. No mobile-screen gimmicks — you're playing real darts, your phone is just keeping score and connecting you. 100% FREE — AND STAYING THAT WAY No subscriptions and no paywalls. You only need your phone and a dartboard. Sticks is free forever — competing online, climbing the global leaderboard, tracking your stats, all included. GAME MODES - Online ranked — match with players worldwide, compete for your rank - Friendly games — invite a specific friend for a casual match - Solo — practice on your own with live scoring and stats - Local 1v1 — two players, one phone, one board LEADERBOARD AND RANKS Climb through six tiers — Rookie, Amateur, Contender, Pro, Elite, Champion — based on your average score per round. The global leaderboard shows the top 100 players in the world. Your rank shows up on your own stats page and on the pre-game vs screen before every match, so opponents always know who they're up against. YOUR STATS Every dart you throw is tracked. See your win/loss record, average score per round, and a detailed heatmap of where your darts have landed on the board over time. The collectible-throws system records every unique three-dart combination you've ever hit — chase the rare ones. CORRECTIONS WHEN YOU NEED THEM If the referee misreads a throw, you can correct it after the round from a small set of nearby scoring options. The system gets it right most of the time, but when it doesn't, you stay in control. A WARNING ON CORRECTIONS Corrections exist to fix real mistakes — not to inflate your score. Every correction is logged on our servers. If our system detects a pattern of corrections that consistently favor the player making them — corrections only when it benefits the score, not when the call is genuinely wrong — that account is flagged. Repeated abuse leads to a permanent ban. Sticks is built on fair play. The referee is fair, the players have to be too. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone with a real dartboard. Casual pub players, weekly league regulars, families, friends, serious darts fans. The setup is your phone, propped or held facing the board. That's it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app, sign in 2. Point your phone at the dartboard from a comfortable distance 3. Tap Play — solo, local, or online 4. Throw darts. Your phone does everything else. NO TAPPING. NO CHEATING. JUST DARTS. Privacy: Sticks processes camera frames entirely on your device. No camera footage is transmitted or stored, unless you explicitly opt in to share footage to help us improve detection in a future update. Only the resulting dart scores are sent to our servers, for multiplayer and stats. See our privacy policy at the link below for full details.
