Party Sneak Peek

Over the weekend we celebrated our son's 14th birthday. In case you missed it, he wanted a Portal  themed party (video game)...needless to say...not easy. This is a description of the game as told by the makers, Valve.

Welcome to Aperture Laboratories

The highly anticipated sequel to 2007's Game of the Year, Portal 2 is a hilariously mind-bending adventure that challenges you to use wits over weaponry in a funhouse of diabolical science.

Using a highly experimental portal device, you’ll once again face off against a lethally inventive, power-mad A.I. named GLaDOS. And this time you won’t be alone. Meet an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of Aperture Laboratories.

Break the laws of spatial physics in ways you never thought possible, with a wider variety of portal puzzles and an expansive story that spans a single player and co-operative game mode.

 Here are some of the photos I took inspiration from.

The Cake 

For a time in the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center, Black Forest cake was used as a motivational object for Test Subjects utilizing the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. After GLaDOS' takeover in May 200- however, she incinerates Test Subjects after the completion of tests, negating the need for the cake as a reward, but still uses it to motivate Test Subjects.

The Gel 

 Blue Repulsion Gel to jump higher, the orange Propulsion Gel to run faster, or the white Conversion Gel to allow any surface to accept a portal.

Companion Cube

The Weighted Storage Cube is a device used for solving cube-and-button based puzzles in the various Test Chambers found throughout the Enrichment Center.

Here is a sneak peek of what I created for the party...
