Main Page > List of Investigations > Layton World Layton World is a puzzle trail created by the makers of Professor Layton, Level-5, that began on 20th June 2017, and will finish around the end of September 2017. The objective, much like the Professor Layton games, is to solve all 50 puzzles that get scattered across the world. To do so, players must first find the puzzle in the real world, take a picture of it, and then send it via the "Translaytion" feature of the website for the puzzles, layton.world. For each puzzle you complete, you earn Picarats, which determines your leaderboard ranking, and a Roulette ticket, which can be used to Earn 1 of 30 collectables, some of which can be transferred to he next Professor Layton game that releases July 20th 2017!

The Story

The Abstraction Contraption and The Global Puzzle Search

Unlock Requirement: Go to the website, comes up as the intro.

The Story starts with short exposition speech:

"A mysterious box that spirits away those who open it in the blink of an eye."

"This little box has had me and so many others around the world embroiled in all kinds of puzzles."

"Who on Earth made it? Why? And how?"

"There is both hope and despair metaphorically locked in this box, and as yet, I don't have the key to unlock its secrets."

"It all started one day when a small package arrived at the Layton Detective Agency on Chancer Lane..."

It then cuts to a scene with Katrielle(Kat) Layton(Professor Hershel Layton's daughter), and her talking dog Sherl receiving this contraption:

Kat: Ah-ha, Post!

Sherl: What's in there?

Kat: Perhaps a new case for me to investigate! Let's see...

The contraption is then shown:

The contraption

Sherl: It's more of a box than a case. And a letter, is it?

Then, a letter from Alan Hathaway is shown:

Kat: Hm, it's addressed to Dad... Well, he's not here. So it looks like it's down to me to solve this little puzzle!

Sherl: Don't even think about opening that thing! Not unless you want to see the Sherly gates.

Kat: You know the agency motto: Any mystery solved. So...let's see... How do we open it? Four locks and a button. Hm, let's press it and see what happens.

Sherl: Oh yes, great idea. Press the button on the contraption of doom. Don't be such a cocky spaniel!

The button is pressed, and a hologram pours out of the top of the contraption.

Kat: Oh! What's happening? Is, is it some sort of hologram?

Sherl: The power to change the world? Hard to believe when it didn't even do what it said on the tin and abstract us away.

Kat: Well, it sounds like we need to solve all these puzzles if we're going to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Sherl: Oh yes, that'll be a walk in the park. There's only fifty of them...scattered all over the world! How are you planning on managing all that?

Kat: Haha, elementary, my dear Spots-on. I'll enlist the help of my international friends!

Sherl: I'm not a dalmatian. I haven't got spots. They're patches. ...And what international friends?

Kat: The ones I'm going to make on the Internet. I had a feeling something like this might happen, so I'm streaming our conversation live as we speak!

Sherl: What? You mean...people are reading this conversation we're having? Right now?

Kat: Yup, every man and his dog! ...With an Internet connection. Friends, if you're reading this, look out for puzzles in your area. We have fifty to find and solve. Remember, if we all work together, we can solve any mystery!

Sherl: Um, yeah... Pups, this Abstraction Contraption is too dangerous for us to handle alone. We need you all to lend a paw.

Kat: So join the mystery journey, people! Let's solve these puzzles. All fifty of them!

Just some banter about the maker of PPAP and the first puzzle, Pikotaro.

Kat: You made that look easy. You've got quite a talent for puzzles, haven't you?

Sherl: I'd never have thought Pikotaro was a setter of puzzles... The sly dog.

Kat: He's really popular all around the world now. I can't say I understand why...

Sherl: You don't get it? It's a pen and an apple. Put them together, and you get an apple pen. See? An apple pen.

Kat: Yes... Well, anyway, I'm a little tired. I think some tea might...um...

Sherl: Might? You seemed to drift away there at the end. Is something on your mind?

Kat: I have tea... I have an apple... Uh... Apple tea!

Sherl: Hm, that actually makes a lot more sense than an apple pen. Give it a Gangnam setting, and that could catch on.
