Developed by LEVEL-5, LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy is the latest game in the best-selling Layton Series and first official sequel debuting on mobile.
Join Katrielle Layton in the heart of London, as she becomes embroiled in a casual, comical, quizzical quest, which has its roots in our new hero’s search for her missing father, Professor Hershel Layton. You’ll be whisked around London’s famous landmarks, from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge, following Kat on her trusty bicycle, solving case after unlikely case, until she unwittingly uncovers the Millionaires’ Conspiracy.
Help Kat and company discover clues, unravel mysteries, deduce the truth, and solve original puzzles! Redecorate the agency and redress Kat in various outfits to suit the case at hand (or your mood). With twelve intriguing cases, seven multi-millionaires, and one whopper of a conspiracy, will Kat ever be able to find the missing professor?
Full of ingenious challenges, charming characters and clever plot twists, the latest Layton instalment will prove to you beyond a shadow of doubt that the truth IS stranger than fiction!

8 of 15I was thrilled to have had this game come out, and I don’t regret purchasing it. But I do wish the puzzles didn’t rely so heavily on word play. Seriously, so many were tricks as opposed to puzzles — felt like >20%. I want puzzles! Word play is okay for maybe <5% of puzzles in a Layton game. Still, just my opinion — and still, would buy the game again.
The content is good, but please support the notched displays in iPhone X and iPad Pro.
Puzzles are mostly fun when you get to them though a couple are kind of strange (“What colour do you see every day?” and “which of these two roads will not be busy if everyone takes this road?”). In general, the value isn’t really here for the money you pay, not least because you have to pay extra for the bonus materials. First, there is way too much time between puzzles and way too much dialogue. The description says it features a “modern” protagonist but she spends the first case ignoring it completely to get some food and go shopping. All in all, it feels like a Nickelodeon version of Layton and a pale comparison to The Curious Village
When I first started playing, I read every text bubble, but after awhile I got bored and rapid fire tapped through because there are literally no puzzles to be solved for majority of the stories! Even then, I’m left tapping the screen 10 or 20 times to skip all the filler dialogue!
I played all of the DS games and absolutely loved them. While this doesn’t match up to those standards I still love the music and art style as well as the storyline that persists throughout the numerous episodes. I honestly hope that some people give it a chance despite other comments and the cost. I’m a fan of the game and for me the hours and hours I put into it solving every single puzzle definitely made it worthwhile to me. I kinda actually liked the episode type style because it was easier to finish one and put down instead of playing the game for 8 hours straight lol. (I do hope they go back to professor and luke though and explain how everything ties together with professors family tree...)
Katrielle and Ernest should have kissed. This is an injustice that I cannot tolerate.
Some people have complained about too much dialogue, but the mundane mysteries are a worse problem. The “crimes” lack excitement, intensity or villains. Each mystery is neatly solved with everyone happy including the miscreant. Motives for any wrongdoing are not particularly interesting (loneliness, for example). Puzzles are OK, ranging from simplistic to interesting to impossible to solve without hints. The characters are cute though. Probably best for preteens.
If you enjoy puzzles you’re in for a treat. My favorite Professor Layton game so far!
