Pittsburgh
Dark road outside Pittsburgh at night, lit by headlights

The rivers kept everything else

Six narrated tours. A bridge the city took apart, the steel valley, the city under the hills, and three long nights out past the rivers.

Take a full tour, or just the stop down the street.

Real customer reviews

Straight from our Facebook page, from drivers across our cities.

“Did one of the haunted tours on dark drives app last night and had such a good time. The whole tour was really well laid out, and every stop felt unique and had a real story behind it. It felt like a proper spooky road trip rather than just driving around randomly. Such a fun night out with friends. 10/10 would recommend”

Maggie C.Facebook review

“My friends and I had such a blast doing the New West drive! Was creepy, super fun and we actually learned alot about the history behind some really iconic places. Such a fun idea for a night out with friends. Definitely recommend trying it!”

    THE EXPERIENCE

    Before you drive

    The car is the safe zone.

    Dark Drives points you toward real places, which means the rules matter. Respect private property, posted signs, operating businesses, homes, memorials, and anyone else sharing the road.

    The rules

    Ages 16+ // Entertainment only
    Respect property

    Every tour runs on public roads, and every stop is chosen to be taken from the car. Nothing in a tour asks you past a gate, onto private property or into a building. Follow posted signs and hours, and trust your own judgement on the night.

    • Every stop works from the car.
    • A passenger runs the phone. The driver watches the road.
    • Fog is part of the product only until it becomes a road hazard.
    • Park only where parking is legal.
    Questions before you drive? Read the FAQ.

    How long do I have access?

    Forever. A Dark Drive is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Once you own a city it stays yours, and every stop or story we add to that city later is included at no extra cost.

    Your purchase does not expire. If you open the tour on a new phone or after clearing your browser, enter the email you used at checkout and we will send you a fresh sign-in link.

    Do I have to do a whole tour?

    No. Pittsburgh also opens as a list of stops near you, closest first. Play one or two on the way home, or take a full tour another night. One purchase covers both.

    Can I buy this for someone else?

    Yes. Under the buy button, choose “Send it as a gift” and enter their email. They get their own access link, right away or on a day you pick, with a note from you if you like. The drive is theirs for life, and you get a confirmation and the receipt.
