An opponent for every level

The bot is simulated dart by dart - with scatter, missed doubles and daily form. Pick its average from casual to pro. The line shows where you are right now.

  • Pick a bot just above your average - every leg stays exciting but winnable.
  • Bots have character: checkout rate, favourite treble, nerves under pressure and their own throwing pace.
  • With the level tendency a bot throws a little weaker or better - but never stronger than set.

04 · Voice control

Just say it

Once switched on, voice input keeps listening. It understands scores, single darts and commands - in English, German, Dutch and Spanish.

Before accepting, DartBoom briefly shows what it understood - a quick “stop” is enough to correct it.

Training games

One key per dart

In the training games you enter every dart with one key - depending on the game as hit/miss, as a ring (single/double/treble) or as bull/bullseye. Works without looking; the info icon below the buttons shows the matching keys in-game.

Hit or miss

Each dart only counts as hit or miss. One key per dart - works without looking.

  • 1/Hit
  • 0/Miss
  • AWhole visit: all 3 hit
  • ZWhole visit: all 3 missed
  • XTake back the last dart

A and Z overwrite the current visit - darts already entered are replaced, never appended.

Single, double, treble

The digit (or S, D, T) tells which ring you hit.

  • 1/S/Single
  • 2/DDouble
  • 3/TTreble
  • 0/Miss
  • AWhole visit: all 3 single
  • ZWhole visit: all 3 missed
  • XTake back the last dart

If the ring is fixed (e.g. doubles only), 1 = hit and 0 = miss are all you need.

Bull or bullseye

When the target is the bull, the digit tells outer bull from bullseye.

  • 1/Bull (25)
  • 2Bullseye (50)
  • 0/Miss
  • AWhole visit: all 3 bull
  • ZWhole visit: all 3 missed
  • XTake back the last dart

Instead of the digit you can also click the board or the Bull/Bullseye button.

The whole visit in one sentence

Say all 3 darts in one go. DartBoom counts how many darts are in the sentence and enters them together - short pauses between darts are fine.

one one zero
one hundred and one
hit, hit, miss
getroffen getroffen daneben
all hit
nothing
D7, 7, 7
one, done

Once the visit is complete, DartBoom applies it instantly. If a dart is still missing, it waits briefly for the rest - or say "done" / "OK" and what you said counts right away. Works in German, English, Dutch and Spanish - even mixed.

Voice input

Turn the mic on and say the whole visit in one sentence. Understands German, English, Dutch and Spanish - even mixed.

  • Beginners start with easy games and early wins - harder ones follow when you’re ready.
  • Every fourth week is deliberately lighter. Recovery is part of training.
  • After each training day you get a review with your real data.

08 · The mindset

Numbers are a compass, not a report card

Your average fluctuates. Every day, every leg. That’s normal - for the pros too.

DartBoom measures a lot so you can see progress. But one bad evening says nothing about your ability. What counts is the trend over weeks - and that you enjoy stepping up to the board.

Example: 24 legs of one player
Leg averageTrend
3040506070

Single legs jump by ±10 points - the trend still climbs steadily.

  1. 1

    Fun beats discipline

    If you enjoy training, you train more often. And more often beats longer - every time.

  2. 2

    Variety over monotony

    Nothing but 501 wears you out. Switch between games, goals and opponents.

  3. 3

    Compare only with yourself

    Other people’s averages don’t matter. What counts is whether you’re better than a month ago.

Throw to get better - not to defend a number.
