Origins bar, in Darwin College, is the perfect place to meet new people, hang out with friends, and enjoy some tasty treats.

Check out our new FREE-of-charge interactive darts and shuffleboards, available daily from 4pm – 11pm.

Shuffleboard

Get your shuffle on at Origins bar, which has two brand-new table shuffleboards! Designed for 2-8 players, these boards are the perfect way to chill with friends whilst keeping it competitive and fun.

Not played shuffleboard before? Don’t panic! Each player slides their weights down the table to earn points. The idea is, you want to slide your weight as far down the table as possible without it falling off the end! Weights which hang off the table are called ‘hangers’ and these are worth an extra point, so it’s definitely worth that risky shot.

Still unsure? Check out this Wiki How video which explains the rules and objectives of the game.

Interactive Darts

Now you’ve got that, how about trying out our interactive darts! This game takes darts to a whole new level, incorporating traditional darts with interactive gameplay. There are 8 games to choose from; Shanghai, Robin Hood, Killer, Hexa-gone, Halve it, Blockbuster, Showtime, and Classic darts. Using the interactive system, you’ll be guided through the setup and rules of each game. The graphics display who’s throwing, and whose turn it is next, and the magnetised darts sync with the board to display your score! So no more adding up!

You can also choose your difficulty level, so whether you’re a die-hard dart champion or a total beginner, there’s a level and game to suit you. Check out the Robin Hood play-through here, to get a sense of how interactive darts work and then head down to Origins to get your game on!
