  We explore the constraints current collider searches place on a QCD-like dark
sector. A combination of multi-jet, multi-jet plus missing energy and emerging
jets searches is used to derive constraints on the mediator mass across the
full range of the dark meson lifetimes for the first time. The dark sector
inherits a flavour structure from the coupling between the dark quarks and the
SM quarks through the mediator. When this is taken into account, the
differently flavoured dark pions become distinguishable through their lifetime.
We show that also in these cases the above mentioned searches remain sensitive,
and we obtain limits on the mediator mass also for the flavoured scenario. We
then contrast the constraints from collider searches with direct detection
bounds on the dark matter candidate itself in both the flavoured and
unflavoured scenario. Using a simple prescription it becomes possible to
display all constraints in the dark matter and mediator mass plane. Constraints
from direct detection tend to be stronger than the collider constraints, unless
the coupling to the first generation quarks is suppressed, in which case the
collider searches place the most stringent limits on the parameter space.
