Around the Clock – rules and how to play

In Around the Clock you have to hit the numbers on the dartboard in order, from 1 to 20 by default. The first player to hit the last number wins.

How it is played

• You start with the 1. Only once you have hit it is the 2 your target, then the 3 and so on.
• In each visit you throw 3 darts. If you hit your target, you aim for the next number with your next dart.
• Any hit on the target segment (single, double or triple) counts.
• The first player to hit all the numbers wins.

Key rules and variants

• Optionally, bull (25) and bullseye (50) are added at the end as extra targets.
• You can also play counterclockwise, that is from 20 downwards.
• The start and end values can be shortened, for example 1 to 10 for a quick game.

Playing it in DartEyeQ

DartEyeQ offers adjustable start and end values, bull and bullseye as options, clockwise or counterclockwise play, up to 8 players and the 3-dart average. Around the Clock is a one-time in-app purchase.
