TLDR: The second episode in the VHS Nightmare arc follows the team and special guest Keith Dozois in a Ring inspired escape room.

The Infinite Escape Room is a comedy escape room podcast where a group of friends make and solve audio escape rooms for one another. It's one part tabletop RPG, one part escape room with a bit of Monkey Island humour sprinkled over the top.
