As mentioned before there is an online Professor Layton game of “real” puzzles called Layton’s Mystery Journey: Real World Puzzle Solving or Layton World for short. As this is a timed based web based game the puzzles will eventually get lost to time so here we will have an archive of the puzzles as well as hints and solutions for those stuck in any specific puzzle. The puzzles are not that difficult so I would suggest only looking at the answer if you’re completely stumped. Here we will take a look at Puzzles i,j,k and l.
Let’s take a look at the third set of four puzzles, for the first 4 click here and the second set here. Now part of what makes solving a puzzle fun is actually solving it. Read hints separately and only use the next hint if you still can’t solve it and check your answer by highlighting to read the spoilers.
