About this game

“There are tales of a box that brings death upon any who dare open it. Tell me, do you think those rumors could be true?”

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is the second installment of the popular Professor Layton Series, digitally remastered in HD for mobile devices.

Professor Layton, the world-renowned archeologist, and his trusty assistant Luke have tackled some of the toughest mysteries in the world. When Dr. Andrew Schrader, Professor Layton’s friend and mentor, inexplicably passes away upon taking possession of the mysterious Elysian Box, the only clue left behind is a ticket for the opulent Molentary Express. Layton and Luke embark on a voyage of discovery, unaware of the extraordinary twists and turns that await them.

Featuring a distinctive artistic style that brings the old-world charm of the Layton Series to life, this delightful adventure will have you traveling into the unknown alongside Professor Layton and Luke. Look out for familiar faces, but don't be surprised if you encounter new blood, too.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box brings together more than 150 brain teasers, including slide puzzles, matchstick puzzles, and even trick questions to flex players’ observation, logic, and critical thinking skills. And rather than just selecting challenges from a list, players uncover puzzles through conversations with the characters they meet, or by investigating their surroundings.
With more voiced sections and animated cut scenes than its predecessor, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is sure to both challenge and delight players.

Game Features:
• 2nd installment of the popular Layton Series
• Over 150 new brain teasers, riddles and logic puzzles, designed by Akira Tago
• Beautifully remastered in HD for mobile devices
• Engaging mini-games that include a weight-conscious hamster, tasty tea blends, and a camera that takes some puzzling pictures

Pretty nice updated version of the DS original, looks way cleaner than my old dual screens. The biggest issue is puzzle solving. It's tedious having to wait through multiple long loads just to try again. You'd think a modern phone version could be faster. Inputting answers makes you tap 3 different times to get to the keyboard. Tapping with a finger instead of a stylus is mostly fine, but the memo function needs more refined 'brushes'.

Fun game with challenging puzzles. I play a lot of these kind of games, and most end up being either uninteresting or too easy - and this is neither. Also, there's a good ratio of game-play to videos of action scenes. If I could have 1 wish for improvement, it would be to allow players to zoom in on the images. I played this game on a Galaxy 23Ultra, and still occasionally had difficulty seeing tiny puzzle details. I had a hard time putting it down, and will be downloading the other 2 games!

This game is just as amazing as the ds version. However, there is one big problem; you can't beat it. The last puzzle of the game the phone is unequipped for. I know what I have to do, but it can't be done with a phone. I'm sad that the developers did not take this one thing into account when making this great game app... EDIT: nevermind. They changed the last puzzle up on everybody. It is beatable, so don't give up!
