Professor Layton and the Curious Village: Complete Puzzle List

Hint-by-hint guides

Full puzzle catalogue and notes

Every puzzle in Professor Layton and the Curious Village, in number order. Titles link to our hint-by-hint pages as they’re published — each one gives three gentle hints before the answer.

How to read this list

  • No. is the number shown in the game’s puzzle index.
  • Title is the North American name. If the European (UK) version uses a different puzzle under the same number, its title appears in the EU column. Where only the name changed, it’s marked (same puzzle).
  • Chapter is the chapter where the puzzle first becomes available. Puzzles 121–135 are bonus puzzles in Layton’s Challenges.
  • An asterisk (*) means the sources we checked disagree on that value. Picarats for puzzles 041, 114 and 125 are reported to differ between regions.

In total there are 120 story puzzles and 15 bonus puzzles.

Use the Location and Chapter columns together. Not every puzzle comes from talking to a villager — some are triggered by tapping something in the scenery, such as a clock face or a shop sign, so it’s worth poking around each location.
