Portal Puzzle
In this puzzle, there are 9 halls arranged in a 3x3 grid. Each hall has portals located in its corners as the only means of exit. Depending on the puzzle variation, a hall may have 2, 3, or 4 portals. Each portal transports the character to one of the 9 halls, with the destination being pre-determined randomly at the start of the puzzle and remaining consistent throughout.
The first hall, located in the top-left corner, serves as the starting point. The central hall is unique; it contains the finish in one corner and an additional portal in the opposite corner that leads back to the starting hall. This return portal is added for fun, allowing players to revisit the challenge and experiment with different portal choices.
The other 8 halls are structurally identical, each containing the same number of portals in corresponding corners. Success requires strategic navigation and exploration to determine the paths that lead to the central hall and ultimately to the finish.
Reach the finish by navigating through the portals.
