Auto Scoring Darts Hire – A New Interactive Game for Exhibitions, Events & Brand Activations
We’re always looking for new ways to help our clients create events that people actually want to get involved with. Our latest addition does exactly that.
Introducing our Auto Scoring Interactive Darts, now available to hire for exhibitions, corporate events, brand activations and events throughout the UK.
Taking the traditional game of darts and giving it a modern interactive twist, our new system automatically detects where each dart lands and calculates the score, creating a fast, competitive experience without the need for manual scoring.
Pick up the darts, choose your game and start playing.
Traditional Darts Meets Interactive Technology
One of the biggest advantages of our auto scoring darts system is its simplicity.
Darts is a game almost everyone instantly understands, which makes it particularly well suited to busy events and exhibitions. There’s no lengthy explanation needed before somebody can have a go.
The automatic scoring technology takes care of the rest.
Players can concentrate on beating their opponent, climbing the leaderboard or trying to set the highest score of the day.
For corporate events, it creates some friendly competition between colleagues. For exhibitions and brand activations, it becomes a powerful way of attracting people onto a stand and keeping them there.
Fully Branded Interactive Darts
As with many of our exhibition games, the darts setup can be transformed to fit your brand or campaign.
Our in-house print and branding team can produce and install bespoke graphics across the unit, incorporating company logos, brand colours, campaign messaging and promotional artwork.
Because we handle the production ourselves, we aren't reliant on sending artwork away to third-party printers. This gives us greater control over the finished product and also means we can accommodate the fast turnaround times that are often required within the events and exhibition industry.
The result is much more than simply putting a game on your stand.
It becomes part of the stand itself.
Whether you're launching a new product, promoting a campaign or simply want your company to be remembered after the exhibition finishes, we can create an interactive darts experience that looks and feels like part of your brand.
Why Interactive Games Work So Well at Exhibitions
Exhibition halls are busy places.
Visitors can walk past hundreds of stands during the course of a day, all competing for their attention. Having a great-looking stand is important, but increasingly brands are looking for something that gives visitors a genuine reason to stop.
That's where interactive exhibition games can make a real difference.
Instead of asking somebody to stop and listen to a sales pitch, you're inviting them to take part in something.
A simple darts challenge can break the ice, create a bit of competition and give your exhibition team an opportunity to start a conversation naturally.
More importantly, the interaction doesn't necessarily end after one throw.
Run a highest-score competition throughout the day and people have a reason to check the leaderboard. Colleagues start challenging each other. Spectators gather to watch. Players may even return later to try to reclaim the top position.
That additional dwell time can be incredibly valuable on an exhibition stand.
Turn It Into a Competition
One of the biggest trends we're seeing with interactive event games is the move towards competition-based activations.
Rather than simply offering visitors a game, brands can build an entire activation around it.
Our interactive darts can be used for:
-
Highest score competitions
-
Head-to-head challenges
-
Daily leaderboards
-
Staff versus customer challenges
-
Prize giveaways
-
Team competitions
-
Sponsored challenges
-
Exhibition lead-generation campaigns
Add a worthwhile prize for the highest score of the day and suddenly you've created an attraction that can continue generating interest throughout the exhibition.
For multi-day exhibitions, the competition can even be reset each morning, giving you another opportunity to generate engagement every day.
From Engagement to Lead Generation
Interactive games can also form part of a wider exhibition lead-generation strategy.
Rather than approaching visitors cold, exhibitors can use participation in the game as the starting point for engagement.
For example, visitors could register to enter a darts competition, scan a QR code before playing or leave their details to be contacted if they finish at the top of the leaderboard.
It makes the interaction feel much more natural.
The game attracts the visitor. The competition keeps them engaged. Your exhibition team then has the opportunity to start the conversation.
The important part is designing the activation around what you're actually trying to achieve — whether that's collecting leads, increasing brand awareness, launching a product or simply increasing traffic to the stand.
An Experience People Remember
Exhibitions are increasingly moving away from passive displays towards experiential marketing.
People remember what they did far more easily than another roller banner they walked past.
Interactive games create moments.
Someone hitting the bullseye to take first place, a colleague narrowly beating their manager, or an entire group gathering around to watch somebody's final throw creates an experience connected directly with your brand.
When the entire darts setup is wrapped in your company's branding, your business sits right at the centre of that experience.
It also creates opportunities for photos, videos and social content during the event, helping the activation reach beyond the people physically standing on your exhibition stand.
Ideal for More Than Just Exhibitions
While we expect our interactive darts hire to be particularly popular for exhibitions and trade shows, the system is equally suited to a wide range of events including corporate parties, conferences, networking events, product launches, promotional activations, hospitality areas, sporting events, fan zones and staff engagement days.
It can work as a standalone attraction or form part of a larger interactive games package.
For larger events, we can combine the darts with other competitive games and attractions from our range to create a complete games area or branded activation.
Nationwide Interactive Darts Hire
Our Auto Scoring Darts are available for hire nationwide, with our team regularly delivering equipment to events throughout Wales, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and across the rest of the UK.
We can take care of the process from start to finish, including delivery, installation, branding and collection.
If you're working on an exhibition or activation with a particularly tight deadline, speak to us. Having our print and production facilities in-house means we're often able to work to turnaround times that simply wouldn't be possible when outsourcing production.

A successful exhibition stand shouldn't just look good.
It should give people a reason to stop.
Our branded Auto Scoring Darts hire combines familiar gameplay, interactive technology, competition and bespoke branding to create an attraction that can draw visitors onto your stand and give your team more opportunities to engage with them.
