Delicious Treats that Teleport Taste Buds
No party is complete without some delicious treats! Bake a portal cake that’s sure to be the centerpiece of the party.
Decorate cupcakes with Companion Cube frosting, serve potato-shaped cookies, and whip up some Aperture Science-approved drinks like “Aperture Fizz” or “Lemonade of Discouragement.”
Remember, the more creative and thematic the food, the more your guests will feel like they’ve stepped into the game.
Games and Activities for Aperture Enthusiasts
Now for the real fun! Set up a series of Portal-themed games and activities that will have your guests thinking like Chell and GlaDOS. Here are a few ideas:
- Portal Tag: Divide guests into two teams and give each team a portal gun (made from pool noodles and cardboard). The goal is to tag players from the opposing team by firing a “portal” at them.
- Escape the Test Chamber: Create a series of puzzles and challenges inspired by the game’s test chambers. Guests must work together to solve each challenge and “escape” the room.
- Potato Toss: This classic game gets a Portal twist! Instead of throwing beanbags, throw potatoes at targets decorated with Companion Cube faces.
- Aperture Science Trivia: Test your guests’ knowledge of the Portal universe with a trivia game. Award prizes to the winners, like Portal merchandise or Aperture Science test subject uniforms.
Decorations That Transport You to Aperture Laboratories
Transform your party space into the Aperture Laboratories with some simple decorations. Hang up Aperture Science logos, drape orange and blue streamers, and create a photo booth with a Portal backdrop. You can even make your own Companion Cube piñatas for an extra dose of fun.
Favors Worth Portaling For
Send your guests home with a piece of the party to remember. Create goodie bags filled with Portal-themed treats, like Companion Cube keychains, potato-shaped candies, and Aperture Science logo stickers. These little tokens will be a reminder of the epic birthday bash they just attended.

To ensure your Portal-themed birthday party is a success, follow these tips:
