Nothing is ever as it seems in DARK PASSAGE, which invites its guests to step into the very real world between life and death and take part in a haunting evening of mystery, exploration and discovery. DARK PASSAGE combines elements of theater and game play with Halloween-infused surprises: Guests will directly engage with a story brought to life through performers, surreal visuals and intricate sets as they wind through a maze of hidden rooms filled with mysteries to uncover.

The DARK PASSAGE experience begins in the Strange Spirits Lounge, a pop-up “speakeasy” themed bar perched on the edge of reality and developed in partnership with legendary Philadelphia personality Fergus Carey of Fergie’s Pub. Within the lounge is a portal into the realm between life and death, and when guests step through it — cleverly themed cocktails in hand — they’ll enter the DARK PASSAGE. Here, they will become much more than spectators, fully immersed in an infernal take on the afterlife.

Depending on their curiosity and sense of adventure, DARK PASSAGE may take guests anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to fully explore — with unlimited access to the Strange Spirits Lounge throughout the evening.
