The Mission Labyrinth 90% steel tip darts are one of those sets that grab you the second you open the box. The design really does look like a maze, with layers of milling and patterns worked into a compact bomb-shaped barrel.
In hand, they feel solid and purposeful rather than gimmicky – a proper player’s dart that just happens to look awesome. Up front you get a long black coated point leading into a short tapered nose with extra rings and grooves, before the barrel explodes into a mix of twin rings, single rings and lateral cuts. The rear “Labyrinth” section uses octagonal milling with staggered ring grip on the push point, giving Max a really positive, controlled feel at the back of the dart.
On the board, Gav found them good but not quite “new match darts” good – he hit three tons in the five-minute test but didn’t feel the same control or confidence he has with some other sets. Max, throwing from the rear push point, got on far better and was able to put together tons and a lovely 140 and 135, showing how well the dart can perform when the grip zone matches your throw.
The short 45mm bomb profile, combined with a fairly chunky 7.5mm max width, makes them feel compact and punchy through the air, with a clear push point that rewards a cleaner release. Front grippers like Gav may find themselves sliding onto the smooth-ish section at the front and wanting just a touch more bite; mid and rear grippers will be much happier sitting on the octagonal “maze” section where the grip really comes alive. Overall, the Labyrinth is a seriously cool-looking bomb dart with proper machining and a mid-strong grip level that will appeal to players who want something distinctive without going into silly “cheese grater” territory.
