How to play

Everyone agrees a target number. On your turn, throw three "darts" — each a real-world fact. Name two places and your dart scores the real distance between them in miles. Add your three darts together and land as close to the target as you can, without going over. Go over and you bust.

Common questions

The app says my answer is wrong, but I'm sure it's right.

Distances and figures come from live data sources and are computed to the mile. If a place name is ambiguous (there's a Boston in England and one in the USA), the app shows you which one it used and lets you correct it — try adding a country, e.g. "Boston, USA".

A lookup failed or timed out.

Some categories need an internet connection to fetch their number. The Distance category works fully offline. If a lookup fails, check your connection and try again.

I paid to unlock the categories but they're locked on my other device.

Open the unlock screen and tap Restore Purchases. Your unlock is tied to your Apple ID and restores for free on any device signed in with it.

Is my data collected?

No. Player names stay on your device and are never stored after a game. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
