Has anyone done this? I have no idea what to expect, except that I am likely to completely flame out.

This is what their FAQ says:
Auditions are currently taking place in two parts, both via video conference. In the first round, qualifiers will take a 50-question “in-person” online test (in the same format as the AnytimeTest). You may be contacted anytime within a year of taking this test (if you pass and are randomly selected) to participate in the second round, the gameplay audition.
In the gameplay audition, contestant coordinators will lead the group through a brief game-playing tutorial. After the tutorial, everyone will take turns playing a mock version of the game in groups of three. At the end of the mock game, each applicant will be asked to tell a little bit about themselves: likes, dislikes, career, family, hobbies, etc. This is meant to emulate the contestant interview portion of the show. The audition will last approximately one hour. (Note that you must submit your signed application at least one day before your audition date.)
Reliable internet access and a computer webcam or front-facing camera on your phone or tablet are required for the audition. You will receive an email with a Zoom video conference link approximately 30 minutes before the audition, which you should join at the appointed time. We suggest using a laptop for the audition, but you can also use a phone or tablet (note that you will need the Zoom app installed on your phone or tablet if you plan on using either of those).
