The Mystery of the Crystal Portal is a hidden object that replaces the traditional list of objects names with a different gameplay mechanic.
The player has to click on certain objects in the scenery that open a circle around it with photographs of items that must be found and dragged to it.
After picking all the required stuff, some of these container objects disappear to reveal a key item underneath them.
Some of the objects have to be collected in one screen to be used in another place (for example, finding matches outside the house to light a fireplace inside).
At the end of each stage/location there's a unique logic puzzle game to be solved, involving some of the objects that the player picked up.
About Xbox 360
Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.
Gamevaro tracks Portal for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Portal to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This X360 release dates back to 2007.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Portal, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox 360 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
