Main Page > List of Investigations > Layton World Layton.World is a puzzle trail created by Level-5, the developer behind the Professor Layton games. The puzzle trail started in early June 2017 and is predicted to run until September 2017. Much like the Professor Layton games, the objective of the Layton.World puzzle trail is to solve the 50 puzzles scattered across the world. In order to aid players who cannot reach these real life locations, other players must first find the puzzles and then post them on Twitter with a specific hashtag. Posts with this hastag are then displayed in the "Translaytion" feed of the layton.world website, where it is translated to any language the user has chosen when registering. For each puzzle you complete, you earn a currency called Picarats, which determines your global leaderboard ranking, as well as a Roulette ticket, which can be used to earn 1 of 30 collectibles. Players will be able to transfer some of these 30 collectibles to the new Professor Layton game, which releases on July 20th 2017.

Please note: There are no puzzle solutions or hints on this page, as Level-5 does not permit the publishing of puzzle solutions. This page is mainly for story, collectibles, and biographies.

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!

Discussion between Kat and Sherl about Piko-taro, the creator of PPAP, and the first puzzle. 

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.
