Overview
Crazy Box is the fifth map seen in The Fall as part of the Old Aperture test chambers.
General Route
The general route varies depending on your skill level. For most players, the general route involves entering the room with the crazy box. For top-level full game players, a Stucklaunch is used to skip the majority of the map. In Challenge Mode, however, a Seamshot is used to get straight into the ending room.
Non-stucklaunch
You want to get onto the speaker seen on the left wall of the first room. This will allow you to shoot a portal at a very far surface, go through it, and then stand on the edge of the platform and shoot a portal on the wall up top, to enter the ending room. Then crouch trigger the glass box the cube is in, breaking the glass, placing the cube on the button, and doing a fancy strafe to land at the flags.

There are multiple methods of getting to the speaker.
No Gel (Fastest)
The fastest method involves portaling above yourself when you enter the chamber, then under yourself so that you fall through. You'll want to fall from the ceiling back into your floor portal. While doing this, you'll shoot a portal near the back left-hand corner of the room. A common aiming spot is the black + at the farthest back left (see gallery image). You can re-shoot your floor portal to make entry a little easier, but the goal is to come out of the floor portal by the +, and to do a right strafe, around the wall, and the correct your angle with a counter-strafe to the left.
Single Bounce
Double Bounce (Safest)
