Stop deciding where to go. Dusk plans your whole date night in about thirty seconds. Answer four quick questions and it picks the places, puts them in order, keeps them close together, and adds up what the evening costs for two. Not a list of restaurants. A finished plan. HOW IT WORKS Tell Dusk what kind of night you want. Dinner or drinks. Your budget. Which part of the Phoenix Valley. Whether you are in a hurry. Then it does the rest: a complete evening, stop by stop, with a map of the route and the total for two people. Don't like it? Shuffle for a new one. Save the ones you want to keep, and send a plan to whoever you are going with. BUILT FOR THE PHOENIX VALLEY, AND NOWHERE ELSE Over 1,000 places across 28 cities and seven regions of Phoenix metro. Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria and the rest. Restaurants across ten cuisines. Dessert, bars and coffee. Museums, hikes, glass blowing, axe throwing, pottery, live music and seventy other kinds of things to do. Dusk knows one place properly instead of everywhere badly. WHAT YOU GET Real opening hours, checked when the plan is made, so you are not sent somewhere that closed at nine. Real photos and current ratings from Google. Prices per person, so the bill is never a surprise. A heat safety warning on outdoor spots in an Arizona summer, because that one matters here. Tap to call, get directions, or open a venue's own site. DUSK+ Three date plans a month are free, and shuffling is always unlimited. Dusk+ removes the monthly limit, with monthly, annual and lifetime options. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial.
