Introduction
sp_a1_intro1.bsp Container Ride
This is the first level of the game and serves as both a tutorial and introduction. The first part of the level takes place within the interior of an Aperture Science Extended Relaxation Center, and introduces the player to gameplay fundamentals such as looking with the mouse, moving and activating objects. The player is also introduced to both the Announcer and Wheatley at this time. The second part of the level provides a more detailed look at the Aperture Science facility while the player is transported to the first Test Chamber. The final part of the level takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber, and introduces the player to Portals, as well as the Weighted Storage Cube and the way in which it interacts with the Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button. When the first Test Chamber has been completed, the player will encounter the Emancipation Grill and exit through the Chamberlock.

Trivia
- The painting Chell is instructed to observe changes[1] between her first and second wakeup. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to Lakeside Hideaway by Thomas Kinkade.[2]
- During the early phases of Portal 2's development, the Relaxation Vault was to resemble an island, as seen above.
- As pointed out in the Developer commentary, when Chell wakes up in the dilapidated relaxation chamber, the player is actually in a hidden room with collision, and their view is projected from the chamber itself. (Keen listeners will notice a UI sound coming from this hidden room when the game prompts them to "Jump" or "Say apple".) This is so that the pre-simulated destruction the container sustains as Wheatley moves it does not have to worry about the player interfering. When the music ends and the dust settles, the player is teleported to where Wheatley is so that they can continue onward.
