的当 I am really confused about this word, I can’t find it in any of my usual dictionaries! the furigana show that it’s read as まとあ, any clarification would be a huge help, thanks!

How do you parse て following it?
Try reading it as 的(まと)当て(あて), from 当てる.
Also, it seems that an image search for 的当てゲーム produces some results.
