The Fun Achievements

These are the achievements the dev put in for fun. As always, the community immediately began working together to discover how to unlock these achievements…or not unlock achievements…or accidentally idling and coming back to an achievement…Nevertheless – these achievements will be organized by the level they relate to.

Schrödinger’s cat

Note: you must play through level 23, you cannot select level 24 from the menu, as the vending machine will not work.

Burger Friday

Level 28 – This achievement is a day-based achievement, meaning you can only get it on friday (hence the name.) After running through the lab and jumping the gap, there is a radio playing Portal 1’s credit song “Still Alive”. On the same table, there is a burger, stare at it for a minute or two.
Note: changing the computer’s time seems to work for this achievement.
This achievement can be done with any burger in the game.
I’ve experiments to run. There is research to be done on the people who are still alive.
