ELI5: How does pricing work in Dark Pool trades?


I just heard of Dark Pools today and am trying to understand how exactly pricing works.

If an Institutional Investor wants to sell a large block of shares without causing a huge market impact they might use a Dark Pool.

So how is a price determined? Is there an order book? Do they just use the last market price? Or something else?
