Flight Club’s Social Darts experience has reimagined the traditional game, taking darts into the 21st century with fun, fast-paced multi-player games that anyone can play.
Cameras track and automatically score every dart throw, with live action replays appearing on screen during the session.
Later, sharable stories of the best moments are delivered directly to players' phones.
Social Darts, Flight Club’s name for its new and improved version of darts, can accommodate 12 people around an oche.
There are six immersive and fast-paced games to choose from, including ‘Demolition’, which sees players start with 180 points, and take turns throwing their darts, with the aim of getting to 0.
Unlike traditional darts, there’s no need to finish on a double to win, making it easier for those who have never played before.
In the game ‘Killer’, players must hit their assigned number three times to become a killer.
When they achieve killer status, they must hit other players' numbers to try and knock them out. The winner is the last one standing.
The venue will be decked out in Flight Club’s signature style, which bosses say will "combine the fun of the fairground with Victorian nods and all the best bits of a traditional British pub".
First launched in 2015 in London’s Shoreditch, Flight Club now has 22 venues worldwide.
There are 13 venues in the UK, including three in London.
Steve Moore, CEO and co-founder of Flight Club, said: “We can’t wait to bring the Flight Club experience to Oxford.

"It’s an incredible city with so much history, so we’re really excited to become a part of that, but also, we believe that Flight Club offers something truly special and unique that the city hasn’t seen before.
"We consider ourselves experts when it comes to bringing groups of friends together and showing them a seriously good time, so the people of Oxford should brace themselves for what’s to come.
"The Flight Club party is about to go off and we couldn’t be more excited.”
