Description
Awarded Best Handheld Game of 2008. Discover the title that launched a legacy!
With over 17 million units sold worldwide, discover the original title that shaped the puzzle-adventure genre and launched a legacy. Digitally remastered in HD for mobile devices and with new, never-before-seen animated cutscenes, it’s time to run the cerebral marathon with Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
The tale begins as Professor Layton, a true English gentleman and famous archaeologist, drives to the remote settlement of St Mystere with his apprentice, Luke, in response to a request from the widow of a wealthy baron. The baron’s will indicates that the family treasure, the Golden Apple, is hidden somewhere within the village, and whoever finds it will inherit the whole of the Reinhold Estate. The Professor and Luke must search the town for clues leading to the precious heirloom.
Featuring a distinctive artistic style that oozes old-world charm, the game’s quirky cast of characters instantly comes to life. The animated cutscenes, remastered in HD, tell key parts of the tale in gorgeous detail. And ever-present in the background, the original soundtrack, beloved by many players, keenly captures the mood of the Layton universe.
With puzzles created by Akira Tago, author of the ‘Atama no Taisou’ (lit. ‘Head Gymnastics’) books, Professor Layton and the Curious Village brings together more than 100 brain teasers including slide puzzles, matchstick puzzles, and even trick questions to flex players’ observation, logic, and critical thinking skills. In addition, rather than just selecting challenges from a list, players uncover puzzles through conversations with the villagers or by investigating their surroundings.
If you are obsessed with mind-bending puzzles, Professor Layton and the Curious Village is for you!

Ratings and Reviews
A welcome return
I never expected to see one of my favourite game series of all time get a mobile port, much less for a fraction of the games original price with additional content! A must for new or old fans who like a good puzzle every now and then, I’ve already poured three hours into it and barely scratches the surface of the plot so it’s worth the price tag. Some of the additional graphics are a little questionable but you don’t always notice them but most updated ones look amazing! The puzzle solved screens are so crystal clear it’s fantastic. Heartily recommend it and hope to see all the other titles getting ports too! Remember, every puzzle has an answer. 🧩🎩
So good!
I LOVED this game on Nintendo DS. I spent oh so many (frustrating) hours on it, trying to solve puzzle after puzzle. It's brilliant that this is now available on mobile, & worth the price tag. It's as good as, if not better than, I remember it. The HD graphics are awesome!
The puzzles start off easy but get gradually harder, & they are all integrated in to an intriguing story. If you're like me, a long time will pass between you playing this for the first time & putting it down later on.
I hope you bring the other DS games to mobile, Pandora's Box, Unwound Future & Spectre's Call. I will certainly be buying them all.
How did the developers not see these bugs
So I downloaded this because I remember this being the first professor Layton game that I played and thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to have a blast of nostalgia. However immediately after loading it up I realised that the cutscenes weren’t working but I continued to play it anyway. I wasn’t even twenty minutes in to the game before I realised it couldn’t load a cutscene and I could no longer progress with the game, I tried reloading it and uninstalling it but the game would not allow me to progress past this point. This therefore has been the biggest waste of ten pounds I think I have ever experienced. I am not trying to say this can’t be a good game however the fact that something like this has bypassed the developers for this game is perplexing and I feel that they require to look in to this
