Killer explained

The rules of Killer and how to play it with friends or against the characters.

Matchflight-app op een telefoon tijdens een potje Killer: spelers met levens rond het dartbord

Killer is one of the most fun darts games to play with a group. It’s fast, ruthless and everyone stays in the game until the very end.

The basic rules

  1. Everyone gets a number. Each player gets their own number from 1 to 20.
  2. Become a Killer. Hit the double of your own number and you’re a Killer.
  3. Hunt the others. As a Killer, you throw at your opponents’ doubles. Every hit costs them a life.
  4. Watch out for yourself. If you hit your own double as a Killer, you lose a life yourself.
  5. Last one standing. The last player with lives left wins.

These are the classic rules. The number of lives and the details can vary from one version to another.

Killer with Heylo

With Killer, keeping track is often the hardest part: who has which number, who’s already a Killer and how many lives does everyone have left? With Heylo, you don’t have to think about any of that. Heylo counts every throw automatically and the app keeps track of the standings.

With friends or against the characters

Play Killer together in the same room, or against the characters in the app when you’re on your own. Every character plays differently, so it stays exciting even when you’re playing solo.

Play it yourself

Heylo scores every dart automatically. All you have to do is throw.
