The Stingerz Story: From Backyard Trash Talk to the Ultimate Lawn Game

The Beginning (And How We Survived It)

What happens when a couple of competitive guys try to outdo each other in a backyard? You get Stingerz Darts.

Our journey started with a simple piece of wood, a few sharp darts, and a whole lot of trash-talking. The original game was reckless, simple, and addictive: see who could throw a better dart, hit a specific spot on the wood, or land closest to the top without overshooting. We caught the bug immediately, but we also realized two things: we needed a real target, and we needed to stop risking trips to the emergency room.

Perfecting the Post & The Strategy

We spent years turning that backyard obsession into a refined, engineered game.

First came the target. Through countless iterations, we perfected the standalone post design used today. Next, we tackled the rules. We didn't want a game where one blowout throw ends the fun. We blended the best elements of classic lawn games into a brand-new ruleset that allows for a real defensive strategy. In Stingerz, you are never out of the game; you can block, defend, and stay in the fight until the very last point is scored.

Engineered for Fun, Built for Safety

For the Gen-Xers out there who remember the skull-piercing "Jarts" of the 1970s—don't worry, we built Stingerz for the modern era. We spent years tracking down the safest, most durable materials on the market:

• Eco-Friendly Scoring Post: Made from high-quality, non-toxic, and fully recyclable closed-cell polyethylene foam.
• Safe Plastic Tips: Engineered to deliver high-performance flight without the danger of traditional steel.
• The Custom Safety Zone: Every game includes a specialized piece of turf. It creates a clear boundary for players to step back during a throw, while protecting your darts from rough pavement during intense pavement tailgates.

Proven on the Field

We didn't just rush to a factory. We spent the last several years using breweries, bars, festivals, and backyard barbecues as our ultimate "Proof of Concept" testing grounds. After hosting dozens of tournaments and receiving nothing but rave, positive feedback from hundreds of players, we knew we had a hit.

We’ve officially locked in our manufacturing and are ready to bring Stingerz to the world. We are incredibly excited to introduce a game that finally checks all the boxes other lawn games miss.
