In Cookie Clicker Classic[]

Portal store icon Portal appearance
Two images from the Classic version, left: icon shown in the store, right: appearance in the middle field

The portal is the third most expensive unit in the game. It cost 1 million cookies and will give you 6,666 cookies every 5 seconds, therefore increasing the production rate by 1,332 cookies/second. It produces cookies 66.66 times faster than a Shipment.

Buying your first Portal will increase Grandma output by +5 cookies per 5 seconds. It will also cause C'thulhu-like creatures to replace some grandmas.

Because of the high base costs, the Portal isn't effective until many alchemy labs are purchased, and their price multiplied by 27 goes above 1 billion.

Trivia[]

  • With the Elder Pact upgrade, each Grandma gets +0.05 base CpS for every Portal. Because of this, the Portal used to be the only building in the game that can directly affect the cookie output of other buildings which aren't the Cursors.
    • As of V2.0, the upgrade type synergy exists, which makes two building types affect each other's cookie output directly.
  • The Portal used to only give 3,000 cookies every 5 seconds, but after Orteil heard people complain that it was underpowered, he raised it to 6,666.
  • It used to cost 1,666,666 cookies.

References[]

  • The icon for the portal may be a reference to the Oblivion Gates from The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This seems very likely since the gates were known for being alright to start with but quickly bogged down by endless repetition.
    • Additionally, the "Deity-sized portals" upgrade may be a reference to Mehrunes Dagon from the same game, as he came through the Oblivion Gate and was shown to be the same size as Akatosh, the Dragon God.
  • The achievement "With strange eons" could be a reference to H. P. Lovecraft's fictional book, within the canon of the C'thulhu Mythos, the Necronomicon. In the Necronomicon, the line "That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die." is said to be included.
  • The name and description for the "Sanity dance" upgrade are references to the song "Safety Dance" by the band Men Without Hats, which includes the lyric "We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind."
  • The achievement "A whole new world" is a reference to the song "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin
  • The achievement "Now you're thinking" is a reference to the games Portal and Portal 2, as one of the series' taglines is "Now you're thinking with portals!" The upgrade “portal guns” is a reference to the main tool in portal 1 and 2 allowing the player to shoot 2 interlinked portals
  • The achievement "Realm of the Mad God" is a reference to the MMORPG Realm of the Mad God. It could also be a reference to The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, as Sheogorath was known as the Mad God, and his realm, the Shivering Isles was also referred to as the Realm of the Mad God.
  • The achievement "He Comes" along with its mangled text, is a reference to the Lovecraft-inspired Zalgo meme.
  • The achievement "Objects in the mirror dimension are closer than they appear" is a reference to car mirrors having the safety warning "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" at the bottom of the mirror.
  • The achievement "Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb" is a reference to the song "All Star" by Smash Mouth.
  • The achievement "Don't let me leave Murph" is a reference to the move "Interstellar" directed by Christopher Nolan.
  • The name and description of "Maddening Chants" upgrade "A popular verse goes like so: 'jau'hn madden jau'hn madden aeiouaeiouaeiou brbrbrbrbrbrbr'" are references to game Moonbase Alpha, that features speech synthesizing of player chat and had become small YouTube hit. Some players would flood the chat with said parches in-game. This could also be a reference to the chant featured in H. P. Lovecraft's 1926 story The Call Of C'thulhu, in which the cultists chant "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn".
