Flight Club is turning 10 and celebrating with an epic prize up for grabs for its fans – their very own game idea rolled out in all 24 Flight Club venues worldwide, including Flight Club Glasgow and Edinburgh, and an awesome trip for the lucky winner and three friends.

What better way to celebrate a decade of unexpected, ridiculous, joy than by inviting fans of the hugely popular Social Darts and cocktail bar to put their stamp on the global Flight Club experience? The OG of activity bars is setting out to design a brand-new game – currently known as ‘Game 7’ – and is calling on you to help.

Project ‘Game 7’ is the first in a year of treats to come from Flight Club in 2025 as the fairground-inspired bar kicks off ‘FC10: 10 Years of Joy’, a year-long celebration of 10 years since the Flight Club team introduced Social Darts to the world.

You dream it, we’ll build it

There are currently six addictive games in Flight Club’s collection, from ‘Demolition’, where you aim to demolish your tower by scoring anywhere on the board, to ‘Snakes and Ladders’ – like the board game, but the dart is your dice. The most recent game to emerge from Flight Club’s in-house game design studio is Donkey Derby, a game in which players aim to hit their donkey’s number to move forward. Now Flight Club is turning to its community of followers to shape the next hit game.

Those keen to scoop this amazing prize can submit their entries here. And there’s no need for any game design experience – just a fun idea for a game that groups of friends can enjoy together. Your entry should include; the game title and a few short sentences outlining the aim of the game. Think, how do I play? How do I score? And how do I win?

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Not only will you earn yourself eternal bragging rights when your game is launched for millions of players to enjoy worldwide, but you’ll also land a VIP trip for you and three friends to your choice of either Flight Club Sydney, New York, London or Dublin, for an epic night out where you’ll be one of the first to play your game in real life.

Ben Morris, Digital Director at Flight Club, says: “We're so excited to kick Game 7 off. From the very beginning, we set out to bring groups of friends together and create unforgettable experiences. When Flight Club was in development ten years ago, we enlisted more than 200 people to throw one million test darts to help us perfect the Social Darts experience. Now we want to join forces with the fans we've amassed over the last decade to create something that they can all enjoy together. This isn't just about designing a game; it's about celebrating the incredible community that has made Flight Club what it is today. We can't wait to see the entries that come in and ultimately bring one of them to life, knowing it was born from the passion and creativity of our guests.”

10 Years of Joy: From London’s Shoreditch to Sydney
Flight Club's story began in a Devon pub when childhood friends Steve Moore and Paul Barham saw a group of people going wild over a game of darts. This wasn’t like traditional darts, though; it was fun, fast and exciting. It was a light-bulb moment. This sparked a vision: to reimagine the traditional pub game for a new generation. They wanted to turn it into something where friends, family and colleagues could get together for a spectacular experience, combining friendly competition with delicious food and cocktails in a vibrant fairground-inspired bar setting.

The first Flight Club launched in London’s Shoreditch in 2015, fundamentally changing the way friends connect and paving the way for a worldwide competitive socialising boom. Fast forward a decade, and Flight Club has become a global phenomenon, with 24 locations worldwide and counting.
