‘Electronic Darts’ Launches In Leeds

 
Electronic darts has launched in Leeds with the opening of ‘Flight Club’, a new hospitality venue charged with introducing social darts to the wider public.

Located in the heart of the city centre on South Parade, the venue offers a supercharged version of the traditional game.
It involves a series of multiplayer options using unique patented dart-tracking technology allegedly designed by Flight Club’s very own astrophysicist!

And its ‘Tournament tech’ can simultaneously connect up to 150 players across its various UK venues with instant scoring, eliminating the need for counting, turning matches into fast-paced, exciting social experiences.

Leeds is the fourth venue to open after London, Manchester and Birmingham.
The bar itself is home to 13 oches (darts playing areas) and has a total guest capacity of 400.

CEO, Steve Moore, who co-founded Flight Club ,said: “We’re over the moon to finally be open after what feels like the longest year in all of our lives. We’re hoping the new opening will bring even more of a buzz to one of our favourite cities in the UK.

“It’s been a long wait, but now we’re actually open, we are confident that the amazing energy in Leeds will make it the perfect next chapter in the Flight Club story.”

To date, the Flight Club journey has been responsible for over 160 million darts being thrown by more than two 2 million people across the UK and US!
