Case Study: Designing & Developing “Find Your Dart” for Shot Darts
Find Your Dart – Level Up Your Game
Project Overview
Find Your Dart is an interactive quiz app designed for Shot Darts to help players discover the best dart set for their playing style, preferences, and ability level.
The purpose of the quiz is to make choosing darts easier, smarter, and more personalised. With so many dart options available across different weights, barrel shapes, grip levels, and playing styles, customers can often feel unsure about which set is right for them.
I designed and developed Find Your Dart as a guided product recommendation tool that helps players answer simple questions about their game. Behind the scenes, AI-supported logic helps match their answers with the most suitable darts from the Shot Darts range.
The key message behind the experience is:
Level up your game.
The Challenge
Choosing the right darts can be difficult, especially for beginners or players looking to improve their performance. Many customers may choose darts based only on design, price, or popularity rather than what truly suits their throw.
The challenge was to create a quiz that could:
- Help players choose darts suited to their game.
- Make the product selection process easier.
- Reduce confusion across a large product range.
- Recommend darts based on playing style and preferences.
- Create a more engaging e-commerce experience for Shot Darts.
- Support players at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
My Role
I was responsible for designing and developing the concept for the Find Your Dart quiz app. This included planning the user journey, structuring the quiz questions, shaping the recommendation logic, and ensuring the experience felt aligned with the Shot Darts brand.
My focus was to create a simple, useful, and engaging digital tool that helps customers feel more confident when choosing their next set of darts.
The Concept
The quiz guides users through a short series of questions to understand their dart preferences and playing style.
Questions may include:
- What is your current skill level?
- What dart weight do you prefer?
- What type of grip do you like?
- Do you prefer a straight, scalloped, or torpedo-style barrel?
- What is your main goal: accuracy, control, consistency, or power?
- What type of dart setup feels most comfortable?
Once the user completes the quiz, the app uses AI-supported matching in the background to recommend a suitable dart set from the Shot Darts range.
AI-Supported Product Matching
A key part of Find Your Dart is the use of AI in the background to help connect each player with the right product.
The quiz gathers the user’s answers and compares them against key dart attributes, including:
- Weight
- Grip level
- Barrel shape
- Balance point
- Player experience level
- Throwing style
- Performance goals
This allows the app to recommend the correct set and style of darts based on the player’s individual choices.
Rather than giving every user the same generic result, Find Your Dart creates a more personalised recommendation that helps customers understand why a specific dart set could improve their game.
User Experience
The quiz was designed to feel quick, easy, and helpful. The aim was to avoid overwhelming users with technical details while still giving them a smart and relevant product recommendation.
The user journey follows three simple stages:
1. Answer the Questions
The user completes a short quiz about their playing style, preferences, and goals.
2. AI Matches the Best Dart
The app analyses their answers and matches them with suitable products from the Shot Darts range.
3. Receive a Personalised Recommendation
The user is shown their recommended dart set, along with a clear explanation of why it suits their game.\
Design Approach
The design needed to feel bold, sporty, and performance-focused while staying true to the Shot Darts brand.
The visual and UX approach focused on:
- A clean mobile-first quiz layout.
- Strong calls to action.
- Simple question screens.
- Clear product recommendation results.
- Bold typography and performance-led messaging.
- A smooth customer journey from quiz to product page.
The overall experience was created to feel like a helpful darts expert guiding the customer towards the right choice.
