To help promote the upcomingLayton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires’ Conspiracyfor 3DS, Level-5 teamed up withSCRAP(real escape games) to make a “puzzle-solving event that challenges users around the world to solve 50 puzzles that appear on the internet and in special locations in 10 countries, including Japan, the U.S., the U.K., South Korea, and Australia” from June 20 to June 14, 2025.
The first puzzle is about the viral videoPPAP(Pen Pineapple Apple Pen). The event has already begun and you may get started from theLayton World website. There was also a regular ole game trailer showing off the game’s story and some puzzle gameplay. It looks more interesting than the originalLaytongames, and not only because it features a talking bloodhound (but that may be one of the larger reasons).
I have never participated in one of these real escapes yet, but every time I’m reminded of them I want to try. I’ll put that on my “make friends do this with me” list. It’s a long list.
