The Professor Layton Game Series
A list of Professor Layton games, with their plot summaries and links to demos and walkthroughs.
The Professor Layton games are a series of puzzle video games for the Nintendo DS. Sliding puzzles, logic puzzles, and other brain teasers are combined with engaging stories following the adventures of one Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke as they solve intriguing mysteries.
The series was originally intended to be a trilogy, but due to popular demand they've begun a second set of three. They're released first in Japan and appear in other countries later. So far, The Curious Village, The Diabolical Box, The Unwound Future, and Professor Layton and the Last Specter have been released in the U.S.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
In The Curious Village, Professor Layton and his apprentice are invited to St. Mystere to solve the mystery of the Golden Apple. The late Baron had willed that whoever could unravel the mystery would inherit his fortune, but so far no one has managed it. The game has 135 puzzles, which are solved to advance the story and, sometimes, obtain items.

- I love this series... but the games make me feel like a dunce, lol. The puzzles are great, but I like them more for the adventure game aspects, and the stories. Professor Layton is the man!

- I am on to my third Professor Layton game - the Lost future- and I think they are really good fun and well made. Last summer I bought another mystery puzzle game and it was rubbish, these games have lots of content and are challenging without being too serious.

- I really love this Professor Layton lens, especially because you included info on the movie and the fourth game (which I hope will be released in the US soon). This series was the main reason I decided on buying a Nintendo DS, and I have zero regrets. Awesome job!
