BASIC PLAY
Each time you solve a puzzle, you earn picarats.
But picarats aren’t the only reward you receive. After solving a puzzle, you’ll often receive an item or a hint to help you with your investigation. Plus, puzzles you successfully complete are sent to your Puzzle Index (see page 22), allowing you to replay them at any time.
Layton and Luke’s Helpful Hints
What’s a hint coin?
If you come across a puzzle you simply can’t figure out, try spending a hint coin to unlock a hint. Each hint will cost you one hint coin, and most puzzles have three hints available.
If you submit an incorrect answer for a puzzle, don’t get discouraged.
Just try again!
Each time you incorrectly answer a puzzle, the number of picarats you can earn for a correct answer decreases. After answering incorrectly, you can either try the puzzle again, view a new hint for the puzzle, or leave the puzzle for later. However, don’t be too eager to give up on difficult puzzles. There are some puzzles that you must solve in order to progress through the game.

Grab all the hint coins you can!
There are a limited number of hint coins in the game, so make sure you save them for those times when you’re really stuck. Hint coins are hidden everywhere, so keep an eye out for them!
