About the Game
In Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, you assume the role of Professor Layton and his young assistant, Luke. Your objective is to solve the puzzles you encounter on your adventure and unravel the mystery of the Elysian Box.
Main
Characters
Professor Layton
A renowned archeologist with an uncanny mind for puzzles, the professor is never seen without his trademark silk top hat, an article of clothing that he would argue no proper gentleman should be seen without.
As the professor and Luke make their way through the adventure, they will encounter several puzzles that will test your wits. When solved, some of these puzzles will bring you closer to solving the mystery at hand. Move the story along by solving each puzzle at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Luke
Luke is Professor Layton’s young assistant, admirer, and self-professed apprentice.
Puzzle Master |
Professor Emeritus Chiba University |
|
Akira Tago |
||
|
Born February 25th, 1926. Professor Tago performs research in the field of psychology and has written multiple best-selling puzzle books in his spare time. Even now, he actively continues to research a wide variety of subjects. He is still very visible in the media, thanks to his popular lectures as well as guest appearances on television and radio.
In addition to writing the hugely popular brainteaser book series, Head Gymnastics, Professor Tago aids in the selection and creation of puzzles for the Professor Layton series. For this newest Layton title, the professor has strived to come up with bigger and better puzzles that blend right in to the story. Get ready to use your brain!
*Puzzles contained within this game were created under the supervision and direction of Professor Tago and the Tago—Akira Research Institute.

A Helpful Hint
from Chester
Just what is a picarat?
Picarats, dear reader, are a unit of value that shows the difficulty of a puzzle. When you collect enough picarats, I’ve heard delightful things can happen.
Read the puzzle explanation.
The top screen displays the puzzle’s explanation.
When encountering a new type of puzzle for the first time, a short tutorial may appear on the Touch Screen. Tap the Touch Screen to move on to the puzzle.
Enter your answer on the Touch Screen.
Use your stylus to enter your answer, then tap the
Submit icon.
There are many types of puzzles to solve!
The type of puzzle determines how you answer it.
Read any explanation given on the Touch Screen before answering.

15 |
Basic Play
Each time you solve a puzzle, you earn picarats.
But picarats aren’t the only reward you receive. After solving a puzzle, you’ll often receive an item or a hint to help you with your investigation. Plus, puzzles you successfully complete are sent to your Puzzle Index (see page 20), allowing you to replay them at any time.
A Helpful Hint from Chelmey
What’s a hint coin?
Blimey, you’ve never heard of a hint coin? Well, you see, if you happen across a puzzle that’s got you plain stumped, you can use a hint coin to buy a hint. Each hint’ll cost you a coin, and most puzzles have three hints for you to buy.
If you submit an incorrect answer for a puzzle, don’t get discouraged. Just try again!
Each time you incorrectly answer a puzzle, the number of picarats you can earn for a correct answer decreases. After answering incorrectly, you can either try the puzzle again, view a new hint for the puzzle, or leave the puzzle for later. However, don’t be too eager to give up on difficult puzzles. There are some puzzles that you must solve in order to progress through the game.
A Helpful Hint from Barton
Grab all the hint coins you can!
There are a limited number of hint coins in the game, so be doubly sure to save them for those times when you’re truly stuck. Oh, and keep a lookout for hint coins, as they’re hidden all over the place.
