Every Other Aim Game in the Catalog Throws at a Generic Target. Rocket Darts in Space Puts Two Players Inside a Galaxy — Giant Dartboards, 3D Rockets, and a Space-Capsule Play Bay.
Rocket Darts in Space is a two-lane inflatable Velcro dart game wrapped in a full space-and-rocket theme. Old page: "two players throw Velcro darts simultaneously at giant, vividly printed dartboards framed by 3-D rockets, shimmering galaxies, and a sleek 'space-capsule' play bay." Both players step up to their lane, pick up their set of Velcro darts, and throw simultaneously at the giant dartboard in front of them — higher scoring zones closer to the bullseye, lower zones at the edges. Old page: "Ignite your guests' competitive spirit and send them on an interstellar adventure they'll never forget." At 13 feet tall with a space-themed visual identity unlike anything else in the event layout, Rocket Darts in Space is a game guests notice before they read any sign. We deliver and set up across Joshua, Venus, Midlothian, and 50+ cities throughout the DFW metroplex.
Old page: "From backyard birthdays in Cleburne to large corporate functions in downtown Fort Worth, this attraction draws a crowd, keeps lines moving, and produces share-worthy photo ops that boost your event's social footprint." The space theme works for birthday parties where space is the party concept, STEM-focused school events, science festivals, and DFW corporate events at aerospace and defense companies where the theme lands with immediate cultural relevance.

Aim Game Rental Comparison — Choosing Between Rocket Darts and the Axe Throw Games
The catalog has several aim-at-target games with different formats, prices, and themes. Rocket Darts in Space is the only space-themed option — and the only one that uses Velcro dart throwing rather than axe throwing or soccer ball kicking.

Best for: soccer-themed events, kicking skill challenge
Double Axe Throw — $399

Best for: axe-throw aesthetic, western or lumberjack themes
Rocket Darts — $399 ← THIS PAGE

Why Rocket Darts in Space Stands Apart
The Only Space-Themed Aim Game in the Catalog
Old page: "rocket-themed inflatable dart game... 3-D rockets, shimmering galaxies, and a sleek 'space-capsule' play bay." No other product in the IPM catalog has a space or science-fiction theme. For space-themed birthday parties, STEM school events, science festivals, and aerospace corporate events, Rocket Darts in Space is the only inflatable that puts the theme directly into the game — not just on a banner nearby. The rocket framing and galaxy graphics make every throw feel like a mission.
Velcro Darts — Safe and Accessible at All Ages
The velcro darts used in Rocket Darts in Space are soft foam projectiles that stick to the velcro-surfaced dartboard on contact. There are no sharp points, no heavy throwing implements, and no risk of bouncing projectiles at bystanders. Ages 5 and up can throw with adequate arm strength to reach the board. The velcro mechanic means every throw that makes contact registers a score — no dart bouncing off and landing in the crowd. The dartboard stays clean and readable across the 8-hour rental.
Two Lanes for Instant Head-to-Head Competition
Old page: "two players throw Velcro darts simultaneously at giant, vividly printed dartboards." Both players throw at the same time from matching lanes — each tracking their own score against the other's in real time. The simultaneous throwing creates visible competitive energy: you can see exactly how your opponent is performing while you are still mid-round. Old page: "keeps lines moving." Two players per round means efficient throughput — 15-20 players per hour at a steady pace.
Photo Opportunity Built Into the Theme
Old page: "produces share-worthy photo ops that boost your event's social footprint." The 3D rocket framing and galaxy backdrop at 13 feet tall creates a photo-ready scene every time two players step up to the lanes. At events where guests are sharing on social media, the visual distinctiveness of the space theme — compared to generic inflatable games — makes Rocket Darts in Space the game that shows up in event photos and gets shared. No other game in the rental catalog has this visual identity.
Dart Skill vs. Axe-Throw Feel — Different Audience Appeal
The axe throw games in the catalog use a specific "axe" throwing implement that some guests approach with hesitation, even knowing they are velcro foam. Rocket Darts uses a dart — a familiar, universally comfortable throwing implement that nobody is intimidated by. The dart mechanic appeals to guests who enjoy darts at a bar or pub, which skews toward adults who find the axe theme less appealing. Same skill format, different cultural entry point.
DFW Aerospace Culture — Built-In Corporate Audience
Fort Worth is home to Lockheed Martin and Bell — two of the largest aerospace and defense employers in the country. DFW's aerospace workforce brings built-in engagement to anything space-themed. Old page: "large corporate functions in downtown Fort Worth." A summer picnic at a Fort Worth aerospace company with Rocket Darts in Space as the game station resonates in a way that a generic carnival game cannot. The theme is the conversation starter before anyone throws a dart.
How to Play Rocket Darts in Space
1
Two Players Step Up — One Lane Each
Two players take position at the two side-by-side lanes inside the Rocket Darts inflatable. The supervisor distributes the Velcro darts — each player gets an equal set. Both players confirm they are ready. The lane setup is identical on each side so neither player has an equipment advantage. Old page: "this attraction draws a crowd." The space-capsule play bay positions players inside the inflatable structure for the round, giving them the immersive feel of the space theme at eye level.
2
Throw Simultaneously at the Scored Dartboard
Both players throw their Velcro darts at their respective giant dartboards at the same time. Each dartboard has scored rings — bullseye worth most, outer rings worth less. Darts stick to the velcro surface on contact, holding their position and score until the round is complete. Players can see their running score and their opponent's running score simultaneously as each dart lands on the board. The throwing mechanic is the same as standard darts — releasing from the hand toward a circular scored target.
3
Scores Are Read — Mission Debrief
When both players have thrown all their darts, the supervisor reads the scores from both boards and announces the winner. The velcro darts hold their position clearly — no ambiguity about which ring each dart landed in. Old page: "produces share-worthy photo ops." This is the moment to photograph the board — a full board of darts arranged in scoring rings against the space-themed galaxy backdrop is the quintessential Rocket Darts photo opportunity that gets shared after the event.
4
Collect Darts — Next Crew Steps Up
The supervisor removes the Velcro darts from both boards and redistributes them to the next two players. The boards reset instantly — velcro surfaces clean off with a peel. Old page: "keeps lines moving." With rounds completing in 3-5 minutes depending on dart count, the Rocket Darts station processes players continuously without extended downtime between rounds. The next pair of astronauts steps up, and the mission repeats for 8 full hours.
Setup Requirements and How to Book
Space and Access Requirements
You need a 15'L x 16'W setup area with 13 feet of overhead clearance. The 13-foot height means outdoor setup is standard — most indoor venues will not have clearance for this unit. High-ceiling gymnasiums and warehouse spaces at 14 feet or above may accommodate it indoors; confirm ceiling height before booking any indoor event. Allow additional clear throwing space in front of the entry to the play bay for players approaching the lanes. One 12-amp outlet within 100 feet of the setup location is required.
Velcro Darts Included
The Velcro darts are included with the Rocket Darts in Space rental. Confirm with our team at (817) 800-8618 the number of darts per lane included in the rental. The foam darts are safe for all ages 5 and up — no sharp points, no heavy throwing implements. Darts peel cleanly off the velcro board surface between rounds with no damage to the board or the dart. All equipment arrives cleaned and in game-ready condition.
Supervisor Role
One adult supervisor manages both lanes: distributing darts to players before each round, reading and announcing scores from both boards after each round, removing darts from the boards between rounds, managing the rotation queue, and tracking the running leaderboard if a tournament format is used. Old page: "this attraction draws a crowd." With a crowd forming around the space-themed game, the supervisor also manages spectator safety — keeping bystanders clear of the throwing zone in front of each lane during active rounds. See what to expect on event day.

Best Events for Rocket Darts in Space in DFW Texas
Space-Themed Birthday Parties
Old page: "backyard birthdays." A space-themed birthday party — astronaut theme, galaxy theme, "out-of-this-world" theme — gets the game station that matches. No signage needed to connect the party concept to the game; the 3D rockets and galaxy graphics do it immediately. Every throw is a "mission." The velcro dart mechanic works for birthday guests from ages 5 to adult with no age-range exclusions. Old page: "an interstellar adventure they'll never forget."
STEM Events and Science Festivals
Science fairs, STEM nights, and science-themed school events create natural demand for activities that tie into space and technology. The Rocket Darts game is the hands-on physical activity that complements educational displays about rockets, aerospace, and space exploration. Museum events, science center programs, and school STEM nights use the Rocket Darts as the interactive game station that gives kids a physical activity connected to the event's educational theme.
Aerospace Corporate Events in DFW
Old page: "large corporate functions in downtown Fort Worth." Fort Worth is home to Lockheed Martin and Bell. The DFW aerospace and defense workforce brings built-in appreciation for space themes at corporate events. A company picnic or employee appreciation day at an aerospace or defense company where Rocket Darts in Space is the game station arrives with instant cultural relevance. Old page: "Ignite your guests' competitive spirit." See our corporate event packages.
School Field Days and Carnivals
School field days with an outer space or science theme — or any general field day that wants a game station visually distinct from the standard lineup — benefit from the Rocket Darts' space theme and all-ages 5-to-adult accessibility. Two players per round keeps throughput efficient for field days operating on timed rotation schedules. We handle all required school vendor documentation.
Church Youth Events and VBS
Vacation Bible School programs with space or creation themes find the Rocket Darts in Space game the obvious physical activity to anchor the theme. Church youth events where a space night, science night, or galaxy-themed evening is planned can use the Rocket Darts as the competitive game station that reinforces the theme with physical engagement. See our church event ideas.
Festival Midway and Event Lineups
Old page: "this attraction draws a crowd." At community festivals and event lineups where multiple game stations compete for foot traffic, the visual distinctiveness of the Rocket Darts in Space is a competitive advantage — the space theme stands out from standard inflatable game aesthetics and draws participants who would walk past a generic dartboard without stopping. The galaxy backdrop at 13 feet tall is visible across most festival layouts.
College Campus Events and Activity Fairs
Campus organizations booking college event entertainment for activity fairs and campus carnival days find the Rocket Darts' visual identity makes it the most photographed game station at the event. College students are as likely to stop at the Rocket Darts for the photo backdrop as for the game itself — and once they are there, they throw a round. The dart mechanic is familiar from bar darts culture that resonates with college-age participants.
Paired With Other Aim-at-Target Games
The Rocket Darts pairs naturally with the Triple Axe Throw Down to create a full aim-game corner at a large event — different mechanics, different themes, combined throughput. Old page recommends adding the Triple Axe Throw alongside Rocket Darts. A 5-lane aim game area with two Rocket Darts lanes and three axe throw lanes handles a large corporate event or festival without either station becoming a bottleneck.
Complete Your Space-Themed or Multi-Game Event
Three-lane axe throw pairs with two-lane Rocket Darts for a full 5-lane aim game station at large events. Different themes, different mechanics, combined throughput.
Browse the full interactive catalog to pair Rocket Darts with basketball, football, and other skill games for a complete event station lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rocket Darts in Space
What is Rocket Darts in Space and how does it work?
Rocket Darts in Space is a two-lane inflatable Velcro dart game with a space and rocket theme. Old page: "two players throw Velcro darts simultaneously at giant, vividly printed dartboards framed by 3-D rockets, shimmering galaxies, and a sleek space-capsule play bay." Both players throw their full set of darts at their respective scored dartboards at the same time. Darts stick to the velcro surface. The player with the higher total score wins. The velcro darts are soft foam — safe for ages 5 and up with no sharp points.
What is the difference between Rocket Darts and the Double Axe Throw?
Both are two-lane head-to-head aim games priced at $399. The key differences are theme and throwing implement. The Double Axe Throw uses velcro foam axes and features an axe-throwing aesthetic — it fits western, lumberjack, and outdoors themes. Rocket Darts in Space uses standard Velcro darts and features a full space, rocket, and galaxy theme — it fits space birthday parties, STEM events, aerospace corporate events, and any event where the axe-throw aesthetic is not the right fit. Choose by theme first; the gameplay format is effectively the same.
Are the Velcro darts safe for young children?
Yes. The Velcro darts are soft foam projectiles with no sharp points. They stick to the velcro board surface on contact and do not bounce back toward players or bystanders. The age minimum is 5 — children 5 and older have adequate arm strength to reach the dartboard target from the standard throwing position. The supervisor can adjust the throwing line closer for smaller or younger participants as needed. Standard supervision applies: one adult supervisor monitors the throwing zone and keeps bystanders clear during active rounds.
How much setup space does Rocket Darts in Space require?
The setup area is 15'L x 16'W with 13 feet of overhead clearance. The actual inflatable footprint is 13'L x 14'W x 13'H. The 13-foot height means outdoor setup is standard — confirm ceiling clearance of at least 14 feet before booking any indoor event. Allow additional clear space in front of the play bay for players approaching and throwing. One 12-amp outlet within 100 feet of the setup location is required.
How many players can use Rocket Darts in Space at once?
Two players compete simultaneously — one per lane. Old page: "two players throw Velcro darts simultaneously." Head-to-head rounds complete in 3-5 minutes depending on dart count per round. The supervisor manages the rotation queue — next two players step up after each round is scored and darts are retrieved. With continuous two-player rounds, the station processes 15-20 individual players per hour at a steady event pace.
