| The Portal 2 Test Chamber Creator LEGO Ideas set |
For over a decade, the iconic puzzle-platformer Portal 2 has maintained a fervent fanbase, keeping the spirit of Aperture Science alive through mods, memes, and countless hopeful whispers of a third installment. The latest tribute to its enduring legacy isn’t a software update, however—it’s built brick by brick. A new LEGO Ideas submission titled “Portal 2: Test Chamber Creator” is capturing the hearts of builders and gamers alike, proposing an interactive set that would let fans construct their own diabolical test chambers.
The project, designed by LEGO Ideas 10K Club member KaijuBuilds, was launched in late October 2025 and has already surged to nearly 2,100 supporters. This impressive momentum gives it a solid head start with over 500 days remaining to reach the critical 10,000-vote threshold needed for official LEGO review.
Building Your Own Aperture Lab
The proposed set is ambitious, comprised of 1,280 pieces designed to replicate the game's uniquely chaotic yet sterile aesthetic. The core concept is a modular “Test Chamber Creator” system. Builders would start with orange base plates featuring marked connection points, allowing custom chambers to be clipped together using LEGO Technic pins.
The 29 modules and 18 different tile types include:
- White wall and floor panels.
- Orange and blue power conduits.
- Panels “infected” with the game’s iconic overgrowing vegetation.
- Observation windows and hazard-striped signage.
- Sections coated in permanent orange conversion gel (goo).
- Functional red laser grid tiles to block minifigure paths.
Gameplay in Brick Form
Where this set truly shines is in its functional gameplay elements. KaijuBuilds has ingeniously translated Portal 2’s mechanics into physical interactions:
- A working Aerial Faith Plate on a 4x8 tile that can launch minifigures.
- A cube-dropping mechanism that hoists and releases the precious Companion Cube.
- An elevated tilting platform for puzzle-solving.
- The iconic Portal Guns are represented with oval orange and blue portal pieces that can adhere to wall tiles.
A Full Roster of Characters
No Aperture experience would be complete without its memorable characters. The proposed minifigure lineup is a fan’s dream:
- Chell, the silent protagonist, in her orange jumpsuit and long-fall boots.
- The cooperative robot duo, Atlas and P-body.
- Two deadly but polite Sentry Turrets.
- And, of course, the brilliantly scheming Wheatley, complete with his glowing blue core.

The Road to Becoming a Real Set
The journey from fan idea to store shelf is a challenging one. After reaching 10,000 supporters, the “Portal 2: Test Chamber Creator” would enter an official LEGO review phase, where it would be evaluated for feasibility, marketability, and licensing. Given Valve’s history of collaborative merchandise and the set’s clever design, supporters are cautiously optimistic.
“The response so far has been incredible,” the creator noted on the project page. “It’s a passion project to bring the fun of designing tests into the real world.”
While the wait for a potential Portal 3 continues, this project offers a tangible, creative way to revisit the beloved universe. For fans, backing it is a chance to vote for a piece of gaming history to be immortalized in LEGO.
