The Scientology speedrun appears to have spawned in March when content creator Swhileyy filmed himself rushing the Church of Scientology on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. That video gained 90m views before it was deleted. Since then, groups of mostly young men have documented themselves charging into the LA centre, pulling in millions of views on TikTok.
