OBVIOUS SPOILER WARNING —
VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK
season 1
The first episode of the Re-Ride — named the Electricity floor (on Floor 601) — is hosted by Conan Blankenburg (voiced by Pascal Schuster), and in later episodes, the "Executive Producer" of the Re-Ride, Tyler Burke (also voiced by Pascal, but modulated) is seen conversating with Conan during episodes.
A couple significant episodes are:
• The Haunts and Spooks episode (on Floor 739), where the questions go haywire and Conan encounters a ghoul (named Zorthrax) during the sixteenth question of the episode, who threatens to kill everyone in the studio, then enchants a curse in the nineteenth question that causes the server room to explode, then the Elevator Lady (often seen at the introduction of the episodes, and voiced by Proxilune) successfully exorcises him.
• The Rebellion episode (on Floor 451), where the writers of the show cause a protest for a raise, and are willing to switch over to another anonymous benefactor, offering more than the amount Conan's paying them, then proceeding to ask a question about which currency's worth the least amount of American dollars, after which, the writers then resign and dump the studio. Then on the next episode (The Anglo-Burmese War episode, on Floor 824), Tyler hires some new high-brow writers for the show, but one of the writers then scrammed after finding out various bar quizzes near the area, then gets interrogated and arrested by a cop after a DisOrDat containing self-proclaiming evidence.

Sam Feeley (voiced as himself) makes his first (although unofficial) appearance in the eighth episode of the Re-Ride (on Floor 629, The Unexpected Floor), intruding into the recording booth before being threatened by the decommissioned trapdoor and a gun. He then comes back a second time on the Haunts and Spooks episodes after the wreckage of the studio, and plans to return.
Not long after (on Floor 669, the Online Dating Floor, three episodes after the Haunts and Spooks episode), he suddenly comes back by sending Conan down the trapdoor, before introducing himself and proclaiming that he's been playing You Don't Know Jack since the beginning.
Some significant Sam Feeley-hosted episodes are:
• The Boston, Massachusetts episode (on Floor 857), where Conan barges back into the studio, discussing among themselves and they both host the entire episode, as well as bickering between eachother during the episode.
• The Final Things episode (on Floor 899), where Tyler, Sam and Conan all discuss about Sam's designation from hosting the show during the indroduction scene, as well as the rest of the episode. Conan tries to convince Sam to continue hosting the show, and even invites one of his fans, Phil Ferguson (voiced by Danny Gallagher), to the booth during the third question, who is super excited about meeting him in person and roasting Conan in the process, after which, he tries to get Sam to autograph his NFT, at which he forcibly gets dragged out the booth after asking for said request. After the Jack Attack, he expresses his designation towards his role of hosting the show, and quits afterwards. Then, they consider knocking down the studio and shutting down the entire project as a whole... until Conan then iterates an entire speech to get the show back on its shoes.
season 2
The season starts with Conan hosting the first two episodes: those being 2024 (Floor 24) and One (Floor 111).
After the second hosted episode, he contacts Sam through his phone and offers him another chance to host the game, which he ends up agreeing to; and thus, he comes back, hosting the very next episode, being the Zoom episode (on Floor 205). They also interchange hosting roles every once in a while.
After fifteen episodes, at the start of the Theme Parks episode (on Floor 180), someone seems to unexpectedly open the trapdoor, with Conan falling down it, at which Tyler calls out Sam about it, then Sam also falls down the trapdoor as well. After the two have fallen, Tyler opens the door to the booth, of which he starts rambling about who's going to host the game; not long after, he also gets sent down the trapdoor. Once Tyler's down, Phil Ferguson, who's responsible for all of this, starts snickering and afterwards, Kenny Oscars (voiced by NgheeApprentice) starts talking about their agreement about the hosting role, and discussing if Phil was actually one of the producers who controlled the studio, of which, Phil shrugs it off and thinks that Kenny would make a great host.
Kenny hosts only four episodes before ultimately being threatened by Sam on the Magic episode (on Floor 121) with an empty-loaded gun, and sends him down the trapdoor afterwards. Whilst this is happening, Conan tapes up Phil's mouth with tape and he brings him to the booth, throwing him down the trapdoor as well.
Two episodes later, on the Big episode (on Floor 998), the power seems to spike during the third question in the game, then six questions later, the capaciters on the server room seem to blow up unexpectedly due to the power that's been overly used since the start of the show, and Tyler tries to desperately call for any mechanics to help out. The rest of the episode continues just as normal.
On the final episode, (the Hot Stuff episode, on Floor 999), the episode is, for the first half, hosted by Sam Feeley, and then asks Tyler that something doesn't feel right, due to the fact that they don't do re-runs. On the second question, where Sam starts talking about the federal regulations regarding the heating inside of the studio, a loud boom noise can be heard in the facility room, but he counts on Tyler to fix it; however, three questions later, an unexpected glitch seems to change the question to the one that was originally proposed in the original run, with an even louder boom that makes the assets on-screen shake sporadically to accompany it. Though, they do manage to get the situation under control for the next question up until the ending of said question, where the heating turns on and another boom is heard, shaking the screen again and causing the alarm to go off, then Sam goes and contacts Mark, who specializes in high-voltage fixing, and Conan, who was already making his way down to the booth, and then hosts the rest of the episode.
Conan, right after hosting the episode, opens up a package of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, that are then immediately combusted into flames, then proceeds to ask a question about said burnt Cheetos, and at the question's outro, he proposes what Sam asked about, which is to evacuate the building, but Tyler doesn't think they should, so Conan then tries to call the elevator, but it turns out the elevator's locked, and Tyler urges everyone who's in the control room to help unlock the elevator. On the next question, Mark is able to fix the high-voltage issue, and then tells Conan to continue with the question, after it's over though, some hurtful words show up on the teleprompter that were typed by none other than Phil Ferguson, who took control of the entire facility in order to take his revenge.
On the eleventh question, Tyler and the rest of the crew are able to compute a workaround to using the elevator, planning to be launching in the next question. Once the next question rolls, Tyler manages to program a backdoor pass to the elevator control software, which will trigger if the player manages to correctly answer the question; then, when the player does eventually get the question correct (or AFK's), the elevator unlocks, with Conan boarding upon it.
When Conan enters the elevator, it starts rushing through all of the floors, eventually skyrocketing him into the sky for a brief second, until he is then forcefully plummeted down unto a field in the middle of nowhere.
The video footage of the camera is shown on-screen, albeit with glitchy effects, with Conan eventually picking it up from the ground. He talks about how he was planning to end the Re-Ride: which was with many celebrity hosts and that the player would hit trivia piñatas with the answers on them. Then he finally decrees that he'll end it the exact same way that the original Ride ended, by prompting the player with four separate choices.
Down below are the choices, along with their respective video clips.
