Trivia
- There are several brick-built Companion Cubes around the facility. If you break one, look very carefully at the debris and you might see parts of a skeleton inside. This is a reference to the YouTube channel: Game Theory, specifically a theory posted on the channel indicating that the Companion Cubes actually contain corpses of failed test subjects.
- There is an area in the facility where you can find a wall with an orange grapple handle. If pulled, the wall will come down, revealing a hidden room. This is one of the Rattmann's Dens, a series of secret rooms hidden throughout the Portal series discovered by former Aperture Science employee Doug Rattmann.
- It is possible to find the Rat Man (more info coming soon)
- There are a few locations throughout the adventure world that feature a weighted storage cube with a light grey hoop leaning against it (The easiest one to find is to the right after exiting the facility through an excursion tunnel on the surface!). This hoop is actually named "Hoopy the Hoop" and was first thought by the developers to become the main meme derived from Portal, until "The Cake is a Lie" became the flagship meme of the series.
