Layton Brothers: Mystery Room Walkthrough

Layton Brothers: Mystery Room is a point-and-click detective game by Level-5. In this game, you will take on the role of Lucy Baker as she investigates crime scenes and solves murders through acquisition of evidence and answering of questions. Gamezebo’s walkthrough will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.

Game Introduction – Layton Brothers: Mystery Room

The Basics

Movement and Exploration

Tap and slide with one finger left or right to rotate the view within the crime scene reconstruction, allowing you to face an entirely different direction.
Tap and slide with two fingers to move the viewpoint around to reach areas outside your immediate vicinity.
Points of interest are highlighted by a dotted line; you can zoom in on these by tapping within the dotted area.

When inside a close-up of a dotted area, you can use the camera icon to zoom in and out by sliding right and left, respectively. Zooming in will often display items too small or hidden to see from the initial viewpoint.
The Zoom Out button returns you to the overall crime scene where you can pick another dotted area of interest.
Objects that can be investigated within the close-up view are highlighted with a white circle and their name. Tapping on these will enter them into evidence.
Note: even within the 5-minute investigation period, time pauses when you select the Menu or examine an area of interest, so don’t feel rushed when reading clues.

Reviewing Evidence

You can review collected evidence and case files at any time during a case.
From the crime scene reconstruction or deductions menu, tap on the red notebook icon in the upper-left corner.
From questioning or interrogation sessions, tap on “Check Files” in the upper right corner.
There are three types of files listed: Evidence, Statements, and People.
Evidence will display all of the evidence Lucy has collected thus far, listed on individual note cards with brief descriptions. Evidence that has been updated after additional investigation will be displayed on a gold card.
Statements lists the statements given by each suspect or relevant person to a case. You usually begin a case with multiple statements that will be updated as more information is gathered.
People displays the people relevant to a case, including suspects and victims, and the data known about them.

Solving Deductions

Your primary goal in every case is to resolve a series of deductions that remain unanswered. Deductions vary from finding out the cause of murder to actually figuring out who is the killer.
Deductions appear as memo cards on a bulletin board backdrop. There is usually a blank portrait in the center which indicates you do not have a clear suspect yet.
As deductions are resolved, new ones will open up and require Lucy to investigate the crime scene further.
Once all deductions have been solved, you’ll tap on the portrait to select your suspect and then begin interrogating him.
When you think you’ve solved the crime, select “Name the Culprit.”

Order of Events

At the beginning of most cases, Alfendi will ask you to select a suspect based on your gut. You can then choose one of four answers: Identify the killer immediately, Ask for advice, Investigate the crime scene, or Have a think about it.
Identify the killer immediately: select a suspect and Alfendi will comment with his own idea of who the killer is. You’ll speak with this suspect and then go to the deductions menu.
Ask for advice: Alfendi offers suggestions on how to pick a suspect and where to investigate. You’re then given the same four options to choose from.
Investigate the crime scene: Lucy receives 5 minutes to investigate the crime scene freely before naming a culprit, hearing Alfendi’s guess, and interrogating that suspect.
Have a think about it: Alfendi will offer his guess as to the culprit and the suspect will be brought in for questioning, after which you’ll begin working through deductions.
Since the 5 minute “Investigate the crime scene” period is optional and provides no benefit to solving the case, this walkthrough will begin with the deduction section of every crime.

Unfailable Cases

Note: Layton Brothers: Mystery Room provides a fairly laid-back approach to crime-solving. Even if you select an incorrect piece of evidence or answer to a question, Layton will merely hint that you are off track and give you another chance—indefinitely, until you get it right.
Later cases provide a slightly stricter punishment to grossly incorrect choices—you may be forced to re-answer some questions, but there is ultimately no failure state. So investigate freely!

File No. 001: The Hand Sandwich

Overview: A young woman, Sandy Aldwich, is murdered on her hotel terrace and found with her hand inside a fish sandwich. Lucy and Alfendi must investigate the crime scene and uncover the culprit from among three suspects.

Open File No. 000: “Freshly Baker.”
This is merely an introduction to the game / case and will introduce you to the main character, Deputy Constable Baker, the Commissioner, and Alfendi Layton.
After the cutscenes and dialogue are over, open File No. 001: “The Hand Sandwich.”
Lucy will introduce herself to Alfendi Layton and they’ll begin working on their first murder case.

When Layton finishes speaking, select “Check Files” to review the available info.
Layton points out the most intriguing aspect of the case is why Aldwich’s hand ended up in her sandwich.
Layton introduces Lucy to the crime scene reconstruction. You’ll have five minutes to review the scene for evidence. Feel free to do so, but we’ll skip straight to “Name the culprit” since nothing you uncover is important right now.
There is more evidence Lucy and Alfendi will discuss, so this is only a guess. Select the victim’s lover for now.
After a cutscene discussion with the lover and bellboy, Alfendi and Lucy will begin solving deductions that remain outstanding.

Select Bosco Phelps again and select OK.
Alfendi comments that we’ve been misled by the bellboy and asks again.

Alfendi asks you to review the statements made and find the statement related to why the victim’s hand was sandwiched.
Select “Bosco Felp’s Statement 2,” about the bellboy’s aftershave.
With that statement, you’ll reach 100% certainty of the killer’s identity.

File No. 008: Ham and Cheese

Overview: Upon arriving at Forbodium Castle, Lucy is cornered by Diane and asked to solve a case from a past crime. Lucy must figure out the truth about Pig’s murder in order to leave the room she’s trapped within.

Lucy begins this case alone, in a reconstructed room with a set of crime scene photos.
Her first three deductions are: “No statements?” “Who’s the culprit?” and “Murder weapon?”
Let’s start with “Murder weapon?” Lucy needs to find the cause of death first.

Tap on Pig’s body.
Tap on Forensics Report 1 and select “Here’s the proof!”
Lucy needs to find the murder weapon that was used to whack Pig.
Zoom out and tap on the table next to Pig.

Tap on Ashtray and select “Here’s the weapon!” The “Murder weapon?” deduction has been solved.
Select “No statements?” next.
Tap on the desk.
Tap on Wallet.
Use the camera icon to zoom about halfway in and tap on Drawer to open it.

Tap on Statements to enter them into evidence.
Lucy will read through the statements one by one.

To question “Who’s made a false statement?” select “Hen Statement 2.” This solves the “No statements?” deduction.
Select “Who’s the culprit?”
Tap the table with the loudspeaker where you first spoke to Diane.

Tap the Fishy Button and select “Press the button.” Lucy learns the button is used to call Diane when she’s figured out the culprit; Fishy Button becomes Buzzer.
Tap on Buzzer and select “Press the button.” Lucy automatically claims Hen is the culprit.
Diane dresses up as Hen for the interrogation.

To question “Pick the two pieces of evidence that prove Hen lied in her statement,” select “Hen enters the room” and “Hen exits the room.”
To question “Which piece of evidence shows Hen’s motive for killing Pig?” select “Wallet.”
After this line of questioning, Diane confirms Hen did not kill Pig. You receive a new deduction, “Is Hen innocent?”
Select “Is Hen innocent?”
You need to find what proves that Hen isn’t the killer.
Tap on the table near Pig’s body.

Use the camera icon to zoom in and tap on Cigarette Butt.
To question “What is the latest possible time the killer could have struck Pig?” select “12:42 Donkey and Dog exit the room.”
Select the final deduction, “Who’s the culprit?”
Tap on the plant area to the left of Pig.
Tap on Hatstand to enter it into evidence.
Zoom out. Return to the loudspeaker table and press the Buzzer.
To question “Who killed Pig?” select “Dog.”

To question “When did Dog kill Pig?” select “12:16 Dog enters room.”
To question “What did Dog do with the body?” select “Hid it.”
To question “Where was the victim’s body hidden?” select “Hatstand.”
To question “Which statement gives a clue as to where the body was hidden?” select “Donkey Statement 2.”
To question “What did Dog have the opportunity to do that Donkey did not?” select “Move the body onto the sofa.”

Lucy finishes interrogating Dog and uncovers the truth. Diane opens the door and this case is solved!

File No. 009: Good Cop, Bad Cop

Overview: The strange events at Forbodium Castle continue, inspired by what happened here four years ago. Lucy finally locates Alfendi, but there are now two murders that must be solved.

You begin this case where File No. 008 left off: Lucy is wandering Forbodium Castle, looking for Alfendi.
Tap on the door area to enter a corridor.

Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in and tap on Passageway Door.
Lucy will make her way through the tower to Alfendi after hearing a gunshot.
Hilda catches up to the two of you and asks “Who killed Diane?”
Select “Alfendi Layton.” Hilda won’t accept the other answers.
After a discussion about the prior events at Forbodium Castle, Lucy is tasked with figuring out what really happened four years ago and tonight—who killed both Keelan and Diane.

Three deductions open up: “Keelan’s corpse,” “Who shot Diane?” and “Al’s witness.”
Let’s start with “Keelan’s corpse.”
Slide to the left and tap on the corpse farthest from the tower’s stairwell.

Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in; tap on Keelan’s Corpse.
You’re then tasked with finding the gun that killed Makepeace.
Zoom out and tap on Alfendi’s body near the stairs.
Use the camera icon to zoom in and tap on Al’s Gun. Select “Here’s the weapon!”
To question “Which statement doesn’t tie up with Keelan Makepeace’s body?” select “Hilda Pertinax Statement 2.”
This resolves the first deduction. Select “Al’s witness” next.
Move to Alfendi’s body near the stairs.

Tap on Half-Dead Al.
You need to pinpoint where Al was standing.
Tap on the red marker, Al’s Location and select “Al was here!”
To question “Which statement doesn’t tie up with where Al was standing?” select “Hilda Pertinax Statement 1.”
This resolves “Al’s witness.” Select “Who shot Diane?”

The castle has multiple floors and towers. Use the green tower icon to move down a floor.
Tap the orange tap that correlates to the fourth floor, where Diane was killed.

Slide to the left and tap on Diane’s body.
Tap Diane’s Corpse.
Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in.
Tap on Diane’s Gun.
Tap on Unidentified Gun.
Alfendi comments he’s figured out where the shot was fired from. Zoom out from this close-up.
Tap the stairs to the north-west of Diane’s body.
Tap Stairs to Rooftop and select “It was shot from here.” This resolves deduction “Who shot Diane?” for now.

Two new deductions open up. Select “Hilda’s untruth.”
To question “Why is there an inconsistency in Hilda’s statement?” select “Makepeace wasn’t shot.”

To question “What did the bullet associated with the first gunshot hit?” select “Half-dead Al.”
To question “If Al was shot with the first bullet, which statement can’t be true?” select “Justin Lawson Statement 2.”
To question “What proof is there that Justin and Makepeace were partners in crime?” select “Case report” (the one with missing files).
Alfendi accuses Justin of working with and murdering Makepeace. This deduction is resolved.
Select “West Tower rooftop.”
You need to find a secret way to the West Tower roof.
This mystery is not solvable yet—tap on any item and select “This is the evidence!”
Alfendi reverts to normal and admits he is the killer, after all. Hilda explains the situation further…and Lucy becomes even more determined to solve the mystery.
A new deduction opens up: “The final mystery.” Select this.
You can now explore the castle again and investigate objects even if they don’t have a marker.
On the fifth floor of the central tower, tap on the ivy on the outside wall.

In the close-up, tap on the area of ivy that is broken to add Broken Ivy into evidence.
Tap on Alfendi’s portrait in the deductions menu.
To question “Who was the mastermind behind the serial killings of four years ago?” select “Justin Lawson.”
The deduction portrait will change to Justin. Tap on him.
To question “Who fired the first shot at Forbodium Castle four years ago?” select “Keelan Makepeace.”

To question “Who did Makepeace shoot with the first shot fired four years ago?” select “Alfendi Layton.”
To question “Who fired the two shots on the West Tower rooftop?” select “Justin Lawson.”
To question “Who was hit by the two shots fired on the West Tower rooftop?” select “Keelan Makepeace.”
To question “Which evidence shows Justin is guilty?” select “Broken ivy.”
To question “What’s the crucial point that gives Justin away?” select “Where the ivy was growing.”

To question “Where on Justin’s body is the evidence?” select “All over.”
After a final round of accusations and proof, Justin admits to both crimes. The case (and game) is solved!
