About this game

THE MUCH-LOVED LAYTON SERIES IS BACK WITH A 10TH ANNIVERSARY INSTALLMENT!

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!

Ratings and reviews

The game is almost there. Good music and charm, but the puzzles are bland and more often poorly worded rather than clever. Small graphical glitches (like not fitting properly on my screen) are annoying but not game breaking. For a game that is enjoyed on the phone it is annoying that it takes so long to get back into the game if it's closed. It would make more sense to quickload directly back into the action. Often by the time I've loaded the game I no longer have thosw few seconds to fill.

It's cute, the puzzles are simpler than the ones in the ports for the original Layton trilogy so its more casual and you can easily go back and find coins and puzzles from each case. Given the amount of dialogue I wish there was more voice acting. 4 stars because one of the minigames keeps crashing the whole thing.

In some ways, you really can feel the loss of the puzzle master. However, the legacy maintains more quality than nearly any other puzzle series, even if it misses the tailored, seemless experience that Tago managed to bring. Sometimes the segues to puzzles are rough or not quite in-lore, some of them are more flashy than they are fun, HOWEVER... If you go in not expecting a Layton game, but a puzzle game, you will not be disappointed. RIP, Akira Tago. Thank you for sharing your puzzles
