Portal Pinball by Multimorphic (Physical Pinball Machine) is a physical pinball game developed by Multimorphic, Inc. for their P3 Pinball Platform. The game incorporates numerous physical and virtual features inspired by the Portal video game series.

The playfield features interactive mechanisms, including 10 RGB illuminated physical portals and 6 additional scoop portals for ball "travel."

Two editions are available:

  • Portal Standard: A 3-flipper game.
  • Portal Extended: A 4-flipper game featuring the Portal module extension.

The Portal module extension adds gameplay elements such as decorated catwalks, a physical spinner, four physical targets, a third dynamic ramp, a hidden gel tube kickback, and a Hard Light Bridge. The game software adapts based on whether the extension is present. The Portal Extended Game Kit requires a Left Side-Target Flipper Assembly, which may need to be acquired separately for P3 machines built before 2022.

Gameplay involves navigating "the Hub" and completing seven Test Chambers guided by the Personality Core Reggie (voiced by Marc Silk). Completing these chambers leads to a final encounter with GLaDOS (voiced by Ellen McLain).

In the Hub, players can complete eight objectives and engage in three stackable Multiball Modes.

The Upper Playfield Module includes elements like a Companion Cube ball lock in the LOFT, an angled panel portal, an Aerial Faith Plate, portal-revealing ramps, a captive ball mechanism, a Turret Control Center scoop, and a rotating physical turret toy.
