Show Notes

After missing their one-flight-a-day from the Australian desert, the gang decide to shelter for the night in an abandoned shack deep in the outback. Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes.

But this is no ordinary VHS player, as the moment the tape goes in the world shimmers in static and we find ourselves transported to... A sewer.

There's distant crying coming from the darkness and a creepy red balloon hovering in the air. But there's no time for clowning around when there's a puzzle to solve.

If you're playing along with the puzzle, check out this visual asset when Jon finds the compass.

  • Puzzle Maestro: Jamie Gibbs

  • Solvers: Mairi Nolan, Jon Saunders

  • Special Guest: Keith Dozois of USB Escape

  • Episode Art: Dom Jordan

  • Editor: Jamie Gibbs

 

TLDR: The first episode in the VHS Nightmare arc follows the team and special guest Keith Dozois in a maze-like sewer system inspired by Stephen King's IT.
