Description
This is a once-in-a-lifetime voyage that aspires to be nothing less than transcendence through resplendent venues and extraordinary performances. This exact experience will never happen again.
All new for 2024.
A Labyrinth of Earthly and Ethereal Delights
The veil is thinning and the whispers of the lost souls along The Rotten Route are growing louder. The shadows beckon and the night winds speak of mysteries afoot. Adorn your most haunting costume and step into the shadowy realms to explore the dark alleys and enchanted underworld of Detroit.
Breathtaking Performances Hiding Around Every Corner
The Sinister Spectacle: Once part of a grand carnival that was the heart of Detroit, this troupe of freakshow performers met a fiery end when a blaze consumed the entire city. But the flames didn’t just claim their lives—they cursed them to roam the streets of Detroit for eternity. Now, they haunt the Rotten Route, performing their eerie acts with an unsettling blend of grace and horror. Using arcane tools they reenact their final moments, luring guests into their twisted, otherworldly show, all while seeking new souls to join their eternal carnival of the damned.
LOCATION 1: AVIARY (SECRET)
This truly secret location, shrouded in mystery, will reveal itself only to those brave enough to join us on the Rotten Route. Here, under a moonlit sky, flames will dance, and magic will weave through the shadows. We dare not speak its name, but know that no corner will be left untouched by the eerie splendor we have in store.
LOCATION 2: CRYPT (AKA Easy Peasy/LowKey)
A shadowed haunt beckons those bold enough to enter. Beneath flickering lights, sip potent elixirs and chilling brews as whispers of “Easy Peasy” fill the air. But beware, darkness lingers. For those who dare search farther more, a hidden lair beneath the surface offers drinks that defy the ordinary, crafted by alchemists in a dim, melodic chamber. Lose yourself in the eerie ambiance and dance beneath the spellbinding glow.
LOCATION 3: ABYSS (AKA Nightmare on Bagley)
A spectral tavern rises on Detroit’s forsaken Bagley Street, where shadows whisper secrets and gothic decor flickers in candlelight. The air is thick with decay and forgotten dreams, while sinister cocktails tempt with dark allure. Echoes of tormented souls hum through eerie melodies. Enter if you dare, and let the night consume you for one final journey.

A Note on the Voyage’s Design:
Once set in motion, our buses proceed in a one-way pilgrimage to the set of undisclosed locations. You may linger in any sanctuary as long you see fit. However, re-boarding the vessel means you advance only forward in this particular odyssey. Should we find the venues reaching their earthly capacity, earlier groups may be gently ushered to continue forth.
Upon the journey’s conclusion, all wandering souls will be returned to the Checker Bar from whence they came. Take heed: The final steed bound for the default world departs the last location at 1:00AM. Choose your adventures wisely.
