Mikey loves darts. Loves them. Lives for them.
There is just one tiny problem⦠the numbers keep wobbling.
Is treble 11 thirty three or something else entirely?
Why does double 12 suddenly make his brain go blank?
Then, on a family holiday, Mikey finds a dartboard that is very much not normal.
One throw sends him crashing into jungles filled with doubles, football stadiums bursting with elevens, beaches exploding with numbers and deserts where pyramids rise with every treble hit. Every dart unlocks a new world and every world makes the maths finally click.
This Darts for Kids adventure teaches children exactly what doubles and trebles mean on a dartboard, helping young players learn dart scoring, numbers and confidence through story, imagination and a bit of magic.
Because darts is not just about hitting the board.
It is about understanding the numbers. π―

The 2026 World Darts Championship was not just a tournament. It was a turning point.
From the opening night at Alexandra Palace to the final dart thrown on January 3, this World Championship had everything. History. Heart. Chaos. Perfection flirting with disaster.
In this special Darts for Kids episode, Darren Rees tells the full story of the tournament from start to finish. The rise of teenage superstar Luke Littler, who defended his title at just 18 years old. The emergence of Dutch star Gian van Veen. The brilliance and power of Gary Anderson and the unforgettable moments that made Ally Pally roar.
You will hear about underdog victories from Paul Lim, Nitin Kumar, David Munyua, and Stefan Bellmont, as darts truly became a global sport. There are shock exits for legends like Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price, a near nine darter from Luke Woodhouse, and the fairytale run of restaurant owner Justin Hood.
The tournament smashed records, with over 1,000 180s hit for the first time ever, triggering a Β£1,000,000 donation to Prostate Cancer UK. It also delivered unforgettable drama, including the famous Ally Pally wasp and one of the youngest finals in darts history.
At the centre of it all stood Luke Littler. Back to back World Champion. Million pound winner. And the face of a brand new era.
This is the story of the tournament where darts changed forever.
Perfect for kids. Unmissable for adults. Essential listening for darts fans.
