TikTokers are “speedrunning” Scientology buildings in bizarre new trend

by

So, there’s this crazy thing happening in LA right now. People are filming themselves running into Scientology buildings just to see how deep they can get before security kicks them out. It’s all over TikTok, and honestly, it’s pretty wild to watch. I can’t believe people are actually doing it, but the videos are definitely getting a lot of views!

These videos usually show people bursting through the doors of buildings – often in Hollywood – and racing through the hallways, sometimes even on skateboards. They’re trying to get as far inside as they can.

People are calling this challenge the “Scientology run” because a video claiming to show the longest, most impressive attempt went viral, and now everyone is trying to beat it.

One of the most viral videos has over 35 million views in a week.

What is the Scientology run trend?

A new video circulating on TikTok shows a teen skateboarding into a lobby just before the doors shut. Other videos capture staff members intervening and asking people to leave.

Honestly, every time someone’s tried to really explore, they haven’t gotten very far at all. It usually ends with security politely showing them out a side door on the ground floor.

Scientology is well-known for being secretive, and this is now encouraging people to try and go further inside its buildings than anyone has before, almost like a challenge.

People have been playfully causing trouble for Scientology online for years, but this particular style of timed challenge – or “speedrun” – is recent, gaining popularity only in the last few weeks.
