TikTokers are “speedrunning” Scientology buildings in bizarre new trend
TikTok users in Los Angeles are going viral for a bizarre new trend where they run into Scientology buildings to see how far they can get before being stopped and thrown out.
The clips, often filmed in Hollywood, show creators rushing through the front doors, sprinting down hallways, and sometimes even using skateboards to push deeper into the building. The goal is simple: make it as far inside as possible.
The challenge has quickly been dubbed the “Scientology run,” with users trying to one-up each other after one viral clip claimed to show the “deepest recorded run.”

This isn't speedrunning, this is a Rogue-like.
More like a Roguelite, since you retain the techniques you picked up in earlier runs 😉
Giving me Berlin Interpretation flashbacks
If there's one video of it, isn't it way too early to dub it a trend?
Anyway, I'm going for a dungeon level 3 run friday afternoon.
I'm seeing at least two in the article so you better be fast.
I'm running so many blockers I didn't see there was a part 2. Had to deactivate the built-in tracker blocker and privacy badger to see it. 🥸
i dont want to tell you how to live your life but you can just open it in a private tab next time and not have to disable a bunch of stuff.
The final boss is L. Ron Hubbard's head attached to a mech body.
I thought they put the head on a stick and hid it behind a giant skull wall
I hope each one runs in there shouting "Shelly!? Where are you??!?!"
Or something defamatory about Tom Cruise.
Remember: it's only slander if it's not true!
Alternative: distribute thousands of fliers with the contact info (professional, no doxxing) of good psychiatrists. Bonus points if they have experience in cult deprogramming.
"where's the candy factory where Tom packs the fudge?"
Prizes for spotting a celebrity or the magic infused electronics gear
Now thats just fun
I encourage this. Pitting one set of idiots on another is good entertainment. Not that I'll actually watch the videos unless something really spicy happens. But I am entertained just knowing this is happening.
::: spoiler huh, i wonder how far this will spread. one can only hope. :::
