Pixeldarts' Unique Recognition Technology

What makes Pixeldarts different from any dartboard you've ever seen?

🔷Sensor-Chipped Darts — Every dart has a built-in chip that transmits its unique ID and exact position to the board instantly. No more counting by hand.

🔷Throw Simultaneously — Multiple players can throw at the same time. No turns. No waiting. The board tracks every dart separately and scores automatically.

🔷Instant Scorekeeping — Forget mental math. Every hit is detected and scored in real time, displayed on the 21" main screen and the secondary control screen.

🔷 Accuracy Matters — The recognition system uses internal sensing circuits to pinpoint position with precision, so close calls are actually resolved by the machine, not arguments.

🔷 Works with Nerf Too — The same recognition system supports specially designed Nerf-compatible bullets. Turn your favorite blaster into a game controller.

  • Position Recognition

    Every pixel point is recognized with accuracy, ensuring fair play.

  • Identity Recognition

    Each projectile has a unique identity based on its color, allowing for seamless scoring even if the throwing order changes.

  • Rapid Recognition

    The system identifies projectiles instantly upon contact with the Pixeldarts surface, ensuring smooth gameplay without delays.

Es un producto fantástico. La diana Dartsnut es un producto totalmente innovador (me sorprende que la diana reconozca el color de los dardos debido al chip integrado en ellos). Pero lo que más me gusta es poder instalar desde el teléfono los juegos y aún más crear tus propios juegos con su agente de inteligencia artificial. Dartsnut lo tiene todo, incluido un excelente servicio postventa. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Fun board with a small learning curve

The board is very fun once you get used to the controls and game modes. The display looks good and the darts register well. I wish the first setup was a little more obvious, but after that it works great.

The football game is surprisingly fun

I bought it mainly for darts, but the mini games are a nice bonus. The football game got competitive quickly and was easy for friends to pick up.

Looks great at home

The design fits really well in my room. It looks clean when it is idle, and switching into the games menu is simple. It feels more like a game machine than just a dartboard.

Kids and adults both enjoy it

This has been a good family game setup. The screen makes the games feel more interactive, and it is much more engaging than a normal board on the wall.

Great for party nights

We used it during a small party and everyone wanted to try it. The screen is bright, the games are easy to understand, and it makes the room feel much more fun than a regular dartboard.

Love the dart board!

I have noticed that there are weak spots on the darts where they will fail and brake with the threading. Also, I need to try different dart guns as the darts just bounce off. Support is sending me some replacements.

Loads of fun. We were laughing to tears when mu wife struggles to hit the board.

I may just need to order more darts as I bet the kids will keep pulling darts off with the back half of the dart rather than near the tip which seems to be a safer option.

More fun than expected

I was surprised by how many ways there are to play. It is easy to bring out when friends come over, and the display makes every round feel more exciting.
