Willy Wonka's Factory Floor Plan Quiz

'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory', the 1971 film adaptation of the Roald Dahl book 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', stars the late Gene Wilder as the eccentric chocolatier and "dreamer of dreams", Mr Willy Wonka. The film is split into two distinct parts with the first portion covering the frenetic search for the five golden tickets - hidden in chocolate bars - that would grant each recipient access to Wonka's chocolate factory.

The second portion chronicles the quirky journey through the factory itself; the adventure begins in a rather corporate fashion with the golden ticket winners (Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, Mike Teevee and Charlie Bucket) entering into a rather bland lobby in which they would each sign a giant contract containing clauses that were, for the most part, too small to read!

After the young chocolate enthusiasts sign the contract (and ignore the fine print), they continue on their merry way into an optical illusion room where the entrance ends up being the exit.

After navigating one optical illusion room, the "choco-tourists" were herded straight into another! This time they got to experience an Ames room which, depending upon your perspective, either led to Willy Wonka becoming bigger as he traversed the hallway or the room itself becoming smaller.

This optical illusion is present in the real world - though by no means as exaggerated as in 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' - and relies upon the observer not being granted a perspective of the room that allows them to determine the room's true shape. Is Willy Wonka's Ames room truly a rectangular hallway?

After a rather challenging introduction to Willy Wonka's factory, the five children and their respective companions finally make it to the room of their dreams - the Chocolate Room. Emerging from a giant black door that puts an end to the weirdness of the Ames room, the group arrive at a staircase that overlooks a splendid world of imagination, indulgence and safety. Or is it?

On the staircase, Gene Wilder begins his iconic rendition of 'Pure Imagination' - "if you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it" - where he challenges the audience to make their dreams a reality and to change the world ("there's nothing to it"). I've always been somewhat mesmerised by this song.

The Chocolate Room is not only where the children were able to let their imaginations run wild but where the Oompa Loompas were first introduced. They are seen adding cream and sugar to the impressive chocolate river whilst Willy Wonka tells us all a story of how the factory is their sanctuary, far away from Loompaland and the "rotten vermicious knids".

After enjoying the delights of the Chocolate Room, Augustus Gloop unfortunately decides to overindulge and falls into the chocolate river. From there he is sucked into a pipe that would, after a tense few moments, eject him directly to the Fudge Room! There endeth his journey.

The Oompa Loompas, almost with glee, provide a lyrical warning about what happens to those who "guzzle down sweets" and tend towards "eating as much as an elephant eats"!

After a rather disturbing boat ride along the chocolate river, the four remaining children arrive at a highly secret space, the Inventing Room. This room is the home of Wonka's mad research program which included a machine that was being developed to manufacture the Everlasting Gobstopper.

Each of the golden ticket recipients had previously been visited by Wonka's associate, Mr Wilkinson, who was masquerading as a competitor, Mr Slugworth. The children were offered a cash reward for providing him with one of the gobstoppers, a plot point which ultimately determines the future ownership of the chocolate factory.

The Inventing Room is where the journey for Montana's Violet Beauregarde comes to a juicy end. One of Willy Wonka's developments was the Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum (a working title, I'm sure) which sought to provide a flavour sensation to the masticator akin to eating a three-course meal.

Violet narrated her transformation from a gum-chewing youngster to a giant blueberry via the three delicious dishes of tomato soup, roast beef with baked potato and blueberry pie with ice cream. As Willy Wonka informs the group, things always seemed to go wrong with the dessert!

After a brief pitstop in a hallway decorated with "lickable wallpaper" that tasted of fruits including strawberry, pineapple and... "snozzberries", the three remaining duos were shown the Fizzy-Lifting Drink Room. Willy Wonka warns his visitors that the drinks were still too strong and that it would not be appropriate to test them out.

Sadly, Charlie Bucket and Grandpa Joe decide to ignore Wonka's instruction and nearly float into a fan operating at full speed. Not only did it almost cost the pair their lives, it also, far more importantly, put Charlie's lifetime supply of chocolate in jeopardy!

After a narrow escape in the Fizzy-Lifting Drink Room for Charlie and Grandpa Joe, Veruca Salt continues to make a complete spectacle of herself in the Egg Room by demanding that Willy Wonka gives her a goose that could lay golden chocolate eggs. Mr Wonka tells an ungrateful Veruca that she can't have one, which causes Veruca to berate him - and her father - through the medium of song.

'I Want It Now' is a superb number performed by young actress Julie Dawn Cole with memorable verses such as:

"I want a party with roomfuls of laughter // Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after // I'm going to scream"

In her rage at being denied a goose that could lay golden eggs, Veruca Salt spirals out of control and climbs atop an Eggdicator. The Eggdicator determines whether an egg laid by one of the geese on shift was a "Good Egg" or a "Bad Egg". When Veruca stands on the Eggdicator it comes as no surprise that the machine determines that Ms Salt was indeed a "Bad Egg" before exiting her from the factory via a garbage chute.

By the time the tour reaches the Wonkavision Studio, only Charlie Bucket and Mike Teevee remain. Mike Teevee (Teavee in the original book), as his surname suggests, is a television fanatic and he could not resist the temptation to volunteer as a guinea pig (unasked) to determine whether Wonkavision could be used to transmit humans into a television image.

Well, it worked alright! Mike Teevee was transmitted by Wonkavision but was shrunk to the point where he could be placed into his mother's handbag for safekeeping. Mike didn't really care for chocolate, so probably got exactly what he wanted from his adventure!

Despite his transgression in the Fizzy-Lifting Drink Room, Charlie Bucket was the hero of the film and stood apart from the other four recipients of a golden ticket. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe were admonished for "stealing" the drinks, leading to the room needing to be "washed and sterilised"; Charlie was told that he had therefore lost and would not receive a lifetime supply of chocolate.

Grandpa Joe, despite being the instigator of the misdemeanour, becomes enraged at Mr Wonka's behaviour but Charlie keeps a level head and returns an Everlasting Gobstopper to the factory owner and, in so doing, effectively refuses the money offered earlier in the film by Mr Slugworth / Mr Wilkinson.

The debacle in the Fizzy-Lifting Drink Room was simply a distraction and, as was no doubt buried in the fine print of the contract right at the start of the tour, the purpose of the golden tickets was to find a trustworthy young heir to inherit Willy Wonka's chocolate empire. Charlie Bucket demonstrated, through returning the gobstopper, that he was that heir and the film ends with Willy Wonka giving Charlie the life-changing news in the Great Glass Elevator.
