In the curious village of St. Mystere, townsfolk speak to each other in
riddles, lock their doors with sliding puzzles and hide their secrets within
brainteasers. When a wealthy baron passes away, his will reveals an elusive
treasure hidden someplace inside the village. Now it's up to Professor Layton to
untangle St. Mystere's riddles and puzzles, find the hidden treasure, and crack
the case.

As Professor Layton, players tackle more than 130 puzzles as they unravel the
mysteries of the village. Challenges range from mazes and riddles to logic and
sliding puzzles, many of which are new for the North American release.
Touch-screen controls make working through puzzles a snap for players of all
skill levels, and new puzzles are available weekly for download via Nintendo
Wi-Fi Connection.

Unlike other puzzle-driven titles, Professor Layton is the first to offer a
story, cast of characters and style that are just as strong as the game play.
Fully voiced animated scenes bring the story to life, while the funny and
eccentric villagers and the classic, hand-drawn art provide a stylish charm that
will appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.
