Alexandria-based archivists tracking every speedrun milestone that matters
We're a small crew of runners and researchers logging world records, category shifts, and the stories behind each frame-perfect run.
Meet the TeamWhat Drives This Archive
Built by runners, for runners
Every world record milestone we log gets cross-checked against submission logs, run footage, and moderator notes before it's published.
No affiliate spam, no clickbait rankings. We write for the community that watches every run, not for ad revenue targets.
Categories evolve and records fall fast. Our team monitors leaderboard shifts and route innovations as they happen, not weeks later.
Each writer brings their own history with speedrunning, so our coverage reads like community commentary, not a copy-paste database.
How We Cover a Record
From leaderboard alert to published breakdown
-
1
Spot the Milestone
We track leaderboard alerts, run submissions, and community chatter to catch new world records or major category extensions as they surface.
-
2
Verify the Run
We review the run footage, timing splits, and any TAS comparisons, checking moderator approval before treating a time as record-worthy.
-
3
Research the Route
We dig into the routing history, prior strategies, and what changed, talking to runners when possible to understand the breakthrough.

Publish and Update
The writeup goes live with sourced splits and context, then gets revisited whenever the record is broken again or the category is re-routed.
