Play Professor Layton Und Die Schatulle Der Pandora (DE)(2CH) Online

Professor Layton und die Schatulle der Pandora is the German release of the second game in the series, originally developed by Level-5 and released on the Nintendo DS in 2007. It arrived during a period when the DS was thriving with unique, stylus-driven adventures, offering a distinct experience that relied more on thoughtful problem-solving than on action or speed.

You control Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke as they travel between locations, tapping the screen to explore environments and speak with a cast of eccentric characters. The main objective is to unravel the mystery behind a fatal, supposedly cursed artifact by solving a wide array of logic puzzles, brain teasers, and riddles presented by nearly every person you meet. Two signature mechanics include navigating the world screen by screen to uncover hidden hint coins and collecting puzzle pieces scattered throughout the story to complete optional picture puzzles. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging you to stop and think, and while some puzzles can be quite challenging, the steady drip of clues and "aha" moments keeps you engaged. It feels like being wrapped up in an interactive storybook where your own cleverness drives the plot forward.
