The only clue thus far is a train ticket for the Molentary Express. What could it mean, and who — or what — might have caused Dr. Schrader’s death?

Brainteasing fun with Professor Layton and Luke. View larger. Gameplay As with other games in the Professor Layton series, gameplay in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is linked to a richly illustrated storyline, in-game environments and non-player characters (NPCs). Diabolical Box takes this further than the original game, with more locations to explore, significantly more animated cutscenes and the deeper level of voice talent employed. As players move through the game with an aim towards solving the overarching mystery they will encounter characters who can forward their progress if they return the favor in advance by solving a puzzle. These brainteasers cover everything from mazes and riddles, to logic and sliding puzzles and everything in-between. There are no time limits on puzzles and ‘hint coins’ found and earned throughout the game can be used to purchase up to three hints per puzzle. The game cartridge contains 150 puzzles, but it is not necessary to solve every puzzle in order to finish the game. Those who do though and yearn for even more can access additional puzzles via a DS and/or DSi Wi-Fi connection. These will be released weekly for the first 33 weeks after game launch. In addition to standard brainteasing puzzle play the game also features a series of mini-games that although do not affect the outcome of the game directly, can help with players’ interactions with NPCs, and thus have an impact on progress through the game, as well as serve to vary gameplay.

  2. I was VERY disappointed in this game. In order to solve any of the puzzles, you must watch the “movie”. I was under the impression you could attempt to solve any of the puzzles at any time. The advertisements are geared toward adults, therefore I assumed it would be similar to Brainage or Big Brain Academy. In my opinion, this game is more for teens. I’m really sorry I spent $30 on this game!!

  3. I don’t usually write reviews. When I do, they tend to be negative. This is a positive review. This game is incredible! I truly think that of all games I’ve played in the last 5 years, this is the greatest. It is challenging and fun, and so very addictive. Please buy this game for your children, your spouse, your cousin, your boss, that creepy guy on the subway who won’t stop staring at you. I do not work for the company that makes this game. I love it so very very much!!! I don’t know what else to say, please purchase 10-12 copies and then enjoy the love and adoration of your fellow humans!!!

    This game was great. However it only lasted for 13 hours. I had totally finished the game in a matter of days. It is just one story so once you solve the riddle, its over.
