Darts gameplay and rules
To enjoy the darts game on GamePigeon, there are two important things you need to understand: how to play the game, and the rules.
How to throw Darts on GamePigeon?
The iMessage darts game is just like normal darts. You aim with the darts at a dartboard, which has different regions, each with different scores.
To start with, the board is divided into different segments, labeled 1 – 20. A hit on each segment will give the corresponding score number of that segment.
There is also the bull’s eye (inner with a score of 50 and outer with a score of 25), the double (outer line) with a double score, and triple (inner line) with a triple score
Scoring is all about aiming your throws. You do this by drawing a gesture to the specific region you want to hit with your finger.
GamePigeon darts rules
The iMessage game dart is a 301 game. What this means is that each player starts with a score of 301.
Their total scores are deducted from this until it reaches 0. The player who gets to zero first wins the game.
However, there are some additional rules to note when playing the game:
- This is a two-player game that is played in turns
- During each turn, a player gets a chance to throw three darts, with the total score for the turn being the combination of the three scores
- After your turn, send your friend the message for them to make their moves, then await them to respond after they have played
- Keep taking turns until one person wins
Darts tips and tricks
Are you new to the iMessage darts game? Winning can seem daunting when you have not played before. But worry not! You can use the following GamePigeon darts hack and tips to guarantee wins:
The aim is to reach 0 as fast as possible (before your opponent), which means getting high scores for each hit.
The bulls-eye, double, and triple regions have the highest scores, but they are the hardest to aim. Therefore, you should concentrate your efforts on other regions such as the 20.
However, given that it is on the top end of the screen, it is also a bit harder to hit. Therefore, the best bet is to try and aim at 19, which is located on the bottom section of the screen, and thus easier to aim.
