Questions, answered
Before your first throw
What is THROWCADE?
THROWCADE is an arcade-style darts game app for a real dartboard. Throw physical darts, enter your hits and follow the game objectives, turns, scores and results on screen.
How is THROWCADE different from a darts scoring app?
THROWCADE centres on games with their own themes and objectives, alongside classic darts formats. It combines the physical throw with shared-screen action, player characters and progression.
Can I try THROWCADE without an account?
The public browser demo offers a taste of THROWCADE without an account. Full Play is currently in private testing and requires an approved account. Creating a website account or joining the update list does not automatically grant Play access.
Do I need a special dartboard?
Ordinary manual play uses a standard real dartboard, darts and a device running THROWCADE. Enter each dart using the on-screen controls; specialist camera-scoring hardware is not required. Keep the screen outside the throwing area.
Does THROWCADE score darts automatically?
Manual dart entry is the standard way to play. The app applies game rules and updates the game from the hits you enter. Experimental Auto Scoring is restricted to authorised test accounts and is not required for ordinary play.
Can I play with friends locally or online?
Play supports shared-screen local games and online rooms for permitted games. Keep a friends list, host a room and invite friends to join. Online play and social features require approved Play accounts and are not part of the public demo.
Does THROWCADE have achievements and player levels?
Yes. In Play, eligible completed games earn character XP. Player levels unlock character accessories, while achievements and their progress can be explored in the Trophy Cabinet. Progress belongs to the character you play with.
Can I control notifications and friend visibility?
Yes. In Play, open Settings and then Notifications to choose invitation and achievement notices, browser alerts, quiet hours and friend-status visibility. Browser alerts also require permission on your device.
How many people can play?
Player arrangements and limits depend on the game. Check its setup screen for the options available to your account, whether you are arranging a local session or an online room.
Is THROWCADE suitable for children and families?
THROWCADE is made with family play in mind, but darts can have sharp points. Children need responsible adult supervision and age-appropriate equipment. Keep everyone behind the throwing line and retrieve darts only when the throwing area is clear.
Can I download THROWCADE from an app store?
A general app-store release date has not been announced. Approved accounts can use Play in a browser; invited Android testers should follow the instructions supplied with their test build. The public demo is available in a browser.
Where do I manage my account and privacy choices?
Use My Account on throwcade.com for account details and the Privacy Hub. Notification preferences and friend visibility are managed separately in Play through Settings and Notifications. Support can help with access questions.
