Interactive Darts
Interactive Darts Hire
Interactive darts keeps the bristle board and takes the maths away: a camera system reads where each dart lands and the score goes straight onto the screen, so nobody spends the evening chalking. Our machines are FidoDarts units, the automatic-scoring system built for darts venues and competitions, each one a freestanding cabinet with a Winmau Blade board in an illuminated surround and a player screen below it.
One of our staff runs the boards for the whole hire. They set the machines up, keep the queue moving and run whatever format suits the room, from casual turns to a leaderboard or a small tournament, and the classic 301 and 501 games are among the modes on the machines.
The boards work wherever people gather in small groups and want a score to argue about: corporate events and team building, office and staff parties, exhibition stands, weddings, college and university events and freshers fairs. For a company induction for over 500 delegates in Kensington the darts ran alongside air hockey, shuffleboard, table tennis and crazy golf, laid out so people could drift between the stations. For exhibitions and brand activations we can put a logo, colours, campaign artwork or an event message on the board and the screen.
When the darts run as a competition, the branded leaderboards and magnetic scoreboards in this category give the running scores somewhere the whole room can see. The full rundown of the machines, the branding and the planning detail is on the interactive dartboard page, and the wider range of scored and screen-based games is on the electronic games page.
Each cabinet is freestanding and wants a clear throwing lane in front of it plus a socket within reach. We confirm the number of boards, the operating space and the layout for your room on the quote, so send the room or stand measurements with the enquiry.
We've run Monster Event Hire from our unit in Havant since 2002, the kit is ours rather than sub-hired, and the electrics are PAT-tested annually. We carry £10 million public liability insurance with the risk assessments and method statements that venues ask for, and every member of the team is enhanced-DBS registered, which matters for school, college and council bookings. We deliver across Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and London. Send the venue, the date, the room size and roughly how many players, and we'll come back with what fits.

Interactive darts hire - common questions
Do the dartboards come with an operator?
Yes. Our staff deliver, set up and run the boards for the whole hire, keeping the queue moving and running the competition format. The machines handle the scoring, so the operator is free to run the game and the queue.
Can the darts be branded for our event?
Yes. For exhibitions and brand activations we can add a logo, colours, campaign artwork or an event message to the board and the screen. Tell us what artwork you have when you enquire and we'll confirm what's possible before the date is held.
How much space does interactive darts need?
Each board needs its throwing lane clear in front of the cabinet and power within reach, and the boards line up along a wall or across a stand. Send the room or stand measurements with the enquiry and we'll confirm how many boards fit and where they go.
