archaeologist and enthusiast of
puzzles, riddles and all things
mysterious. Even the most baffling of
cases is no challenge for the brilliant
mind of Professor Layton.

According to the letter, Monte d'Or

is being plagued by a “series of

terrifying incidents” connected to a

mysterious archaeological artefact:

the Mask of Chaos.

This is not the first time that

Professor Layton has heard of the
Mask of Chaos. It all dates back to

his school days, when he was just a
boy of 17...
