FAQ
Use your head. Then use the headlights.
A narrated paranormal driving adventure through the real dark of your city. You buy a city, you get its narrated driving tours, and you drive them at night in your own car. Every stop is a real place with a real file: documented history, attested hauntings, and the stories people tell, each labeled as exactly what it is.
Every narrated tour in that city, including its full-city marathon, the route on your phone, and the audio. One purchase, one car, yours for good.
No app store, no subscription. Access instructions arrive by email and everything runs on the phone you bring in the car.
No. It is narrated audio built around the road, the map, and what you hear at each stop.
Live cities arrive instantly after purchase by email. For Coming Soon cities, join the notification list and we will email you when the drive is available.
The city is being built and verified street by street. There is no charge to join the notification list.
Documented history, told plainly with nothing added.
Published, attested hauntings, told as reports from the people who were there.
Folklore, told as a story people repeat, never as fact.
Some of our cities' heaviest stops contain no ghost story at all. None is needed.
No, and you must not. Every stop is designed to land from inside a parked or lawfully driven vehicle. It is a rule, and it is also the point. The one exception is the marathon's pit stop, where the drive formally pauses with you.
It is built for lawful public roads and legal parking. You never trespass, and you never need to. Drive sober, obey every sign and law, and use your head. The car is the safe zone.
Yes. It is built for after dark, but stay sober, use legal parking, and let a passenger handle the phone.
You can. We do not recommend it. This is better with a full car and people you trust.
Individual tours run roughly an hour to two and a half, depending on the city. Every city also has a marathon that runs the whole catalog in one long night, with one sanctioned pit stop.
No. There is a suggested route, but you can run it in whatever order your nerve allows.
Yes. It is self-guided, so you can stop, restart, or split the route across nights.
Yes. Once it is yours, it is yours. Replay it as many times as you can stand.
One purchase covers one car. Pile your friends in. Do not repost, resell, or redistribute the route or audio.
Download or open your files before you drive, especially for remote areas or the edges of a city. Do not rely on perfect signal.
Weather is yours to judge, every leg, every night. Snow, ice, and fog are reasons to go another night. The city will keep.
One price per city, shown on its page. One price. Whole car.
Yes. A Dark Drives city makes a properly unsettling gift.

They are drawn from documented history, attested accounts, and folklore, labeled as exactly what they are. The history is record. The hauntings are what people report. You decide what to believe by the last stop.
That depends on you and who is in the car. It deals with real crimes and real tragedy, so it sits closer to true crime and folklore than to a jump-scare haunted house. The fear is the quiet kind, the kind that follows you home.
It is built for ages 16 and older. The drives include real history, real deaths, and mature themes, told plainly. Use your judgment about who is in the car.
Please do, for any city, live or future. If your street, building, or stretch of road has a story we should know, send it. We read everything.
