Layton's Mystery Journey - Real World Puzzle Solving (in English)!
Level-5 released a real world puzzle game that everyone can join in on here!
It's part of their promotion for their latest Professor Layton game (7th, if you're counting) Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy featuring Professor Layton's daughter.
This guide was created to help the aspiring Professor's Assistants having a spot of trouble following the Japanese sites or finding some of the necessary clues. Some puzzles only give locations where the actual puzzles can be found.
It is spoiler-free, meaning NO SOLUTIONS on this site!
Some extra instructions may be hidden [like this] for those who are extra confused though. :)
Update: Layton.World adds the puzzles (and sometimes even parts of the solutions) to the older puzzles. o:
