Network Sports Icarus Dart Game

Purpose

Network Sports wanted to turn ordinary venue dartboards into a connected, paid attraction — without engineering custom electronics from the ground up. They needed a game unit that runs reliably on affordable hardware at every location and ties cleanly into online payments and cloud services, so a player could simply walk up, pay, and play.

Description

We built a full-screen dart game that runs as a locked-down kiosk on low-cost hardware mounted at each board, so players stay in the game and never see the machine underneath. On-device logic handles play at the venue while the cloud keeps everything connected and card payments are taken right there, with no extra card reader to install. The result is a self-contained, coin-free unit that links inexpensive venue hardware to online play and payment. Network Sports can roll the same experience out one board at a time.
