Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy launched on iOS back in July, but us Nintendo fans have been waiting for the Nintendo 3DS version. Thankfully our patience is about to pay off, as the game is set to release on Nintendo 3DS this Friday, Oct. 6th! While we count down the days until launch, it turns out there's a great way to ease back into the Layton mindset, all while earning exclusive items for the Nintendo 3DS game!

As we've mentioned in the past, the Layton World website had a "Real World Puzzle Solving" event, where 10 countries around the world hosted 50 puzzles which appeared at famous locations. Those real-time events have come to a close, but you can still hop over to the Layton World website and try to solve those puzzles. You have until Oct. 30th to take your best shot at those 50 puzzles, and you can even use some help from other players using the site's "TransLayton" system!

Wondering what exclusive goodies you can grab for the Nintendo 3DS game for your participation? Items like Kat's Pyjamas for Katrielle to wear in-game, and Ancient furniture decore for Kat's office!

You'll just need to make sure you register and create an account in order to save these items for transfer over to the Nintendo 3DS game. These extras make for a great way to jump-start your time with Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy! Plus, tackling these challenges will clean out the cobwebs and get your puzzle skills back into tip-top shape! Just make sure you do so before Oct. 30th, because after that date, there will be no other way to obtain these items!
