Run the Gauntlet is a challenge shock site that consists of 20 levels that the player must go through without looking away. The name references the form of hazing/abuse/punishment where a victim must run between two lines of people who try to attack them (usually by hitting or striking). In this case the “attacks” are psychological and self-inflicted.
The page displays an image reading "Running the gauntlet is a test to see if you can stomach the depths of the internet. This site is Not Safe For Work. It contains adult-related content. you must be of legal age in your country to proceed. Prepare yourself". The "begin your journey" button only appears after a few seconds pass, and once clicked displays extremely graphic videos from Bestgore.com, Liveleak, Thatsphucked.com and videos like Jarsquatter and 3 Guys 1 Hammer. Each level gets more and more difficult to endure as the player goes on.
There also exists a "safe-for-work" version called the Cringe Edition, which is extended to 41 levels as compared to the adult version, which has 20 levels. Some videos have been removed from the gauntlet and replaced with other clips.
