Season 2, Episode 20 of The Eldritch Estate is about the mysterious group known as Cicada 3301. We are joined by Keith, creator of USB Escape, an escape room that comes to you - preloaded on you guessed it, a USB drive. Cicada 3301 emerged on the Internet in 2012, asking "highly intelligent individuals" to solve its complicated puzzles. To this day we do not know who Cicada 3301 is or why they sought these individuals. To check out USB Escape go to @usbescape on Instagram! Thanks to Keith for an entertaining and informative session!

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
