Just wondering your thoughts on that, for such a big-budget production to make use of SCP concepts? Reminds me of the Slenderman films (except much much better).

Another case of “why we can’t have nice things”. In moderation things work. People start abusing liberties and they have to be taken away cuz people forget how to behave.
Hell, what is the fire-code max occupancy of an Ikea? I know it feels like there are 3000 people in line ahead of you, but I wouldn't be surprised if 3000 was well above the occupancy, not even including the actual customers.
[1] https://up.codes/s/occupant-load see mercantile in TABLE 1004.1.2 MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA ALLOWANCES PER OCCUPANT, but note warehouse requires 500 square feet per person, which is about half the area of the IKEAs I'm familiar with.
“People are stopping everyone who ‘looks like they are here for a game of hide and seek.” Deep down, everyone who walks into the great snaking corridors of IKEA is playing a game of hide and seek. But what does a person who goes there to play the game on purpose look like? What are the tells? Are they wearing IKEA bedlinen? I love the idea of a stop and search on that scale and basis. “Hide and seek, officer? I just…

(off-topic) Just curious, have you heard of the game "Control" that was just released? I've been playing it, and it borrows heavily from SCP (and I mean heavily -- it's the same concept).

That SCP was both completely unexpected and completely appropriate. Also a very interesting mix of creepy and hilarious. I nearly lost it at the description of the humanoids SCP-3008-2. Edit: Working my way through the journal entry - my goodness this stuff is straight-up made for its own movie or Netflix series!

I also imagine IKEA has a loudspeaker system. If they announce "please, everyone, store hours are over, leave the IKEA" but you stay hidden, you're trespassing.

Regular shoppers don’t usually crouch behind things.
How am I supposed to know if furniture is good if I can't test its viability in games of hide and seek?
I think IKEA realizes this as well.
Ikea should stop 'banning' them and embracing these. They should build a ticket platform so you can only get into the game w/a ticket. You'd put an armband on signifying you're a 'player'. That way they could maybe limit it to a smaller number per game.. 3000 seems like a lot. Maybe 500 or less. How many of these people would shop while there are go to the cafeteria?
