'''Test Chambers''' are a vital part of the ''Portal'' series. Thanks to the [[Security Camera]]s fixed onto the walls of Test Chambers at various points, [[GLaDOS]] can track a Test Subject's movements and progress. There are multiple Test Chambers throughout The Enrichment Centre. {{Spoiler text|However, in ''Portal 2'' they are instantly created by GLaDOS and [[Wheatley]] (using robotic arms carrying [[panels]] and combining them with other panels to form a ceiling, floor, and walls of a chamber) as one progresses through the tests. This new method of creation allows for an almost infinite amount of test chamber combinations within the Enrichment Centre}}. Upon entering a Test Chamber one acquires a bare (minimal) feeling, similar to a hospital with its sterile environment; this is due to the lighting used within chambers, and the colors of the panels as well. | '''Test Chambers''' are a vital part of the ''Portal'' series.

== Bonus Chambers == | |||
In addition to the standard test chambers exist two forms of bonus test chambers; only test chambers 13 through 18 have bonus versions. Bonus chambers only exist within ''[[Portal]]'', and can be accessed from the [[Main Menu]]. | |||
=== Challenge Chambers === | |||
These chambers are identical to the standard versions, however they introduce an additional layer of goal-based puzzles. These include completing the map with the: | |||
* Least amount of steps taken | |||
* Least amount of [[Portals]] deployed | |||
* Least time elapsed | |||
=== Advanced Chambers === | |||
These are variants of the test chambers which have been redesigned with an advanced difficulty curve, for instance by decreasing the number of portalable surfaces, or by increasing the presence of hazard water. | |||
