Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask Walkthrough
Puzzle 001: Stumble's Balloons
Location: Carnival Square Activation: Speak to Stumble Picarats: 20 In this puzzle, you need to touch contact points in order to untangle Stumble from his balloons. The points should be set out like this: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Answer: touch these points in order: 3, 5 and 1
Puzzle 002: Where's Mother?
Location: Carnival Arcade Activation: Zoom in on the clown float, then speak to Cookie Picarats: 30 This puzzle sees you needing to decide which woman is the girl's mother.
It is a case of logic. In the lower screen, details of the mother are detailed. You are also presented with five statements, one for each of the five women you have to choose from. If you pay close attention to these statements, you will be able to rule out certain women. Woman A can be ruled out straight away as she does not have red hair. Woman C is actually not a woman at all, so she's out.
Woman D owns a pink purse rather than blue, so it can't be her. Looking at the purses, it is also clear that it cannot be woman E, as she says the purse is not hers. Therefore, woman 2 must be the mother.
Puzzle 003: Stumble's Banners
Location: Gallery Plaza Activation: Speak to Stumble Picarats: 30 Here you need to match up the posters. It cannot be poster C, as the trumpet player is wearing a hat. It also cannot be poster A either, as the tail is different.
This means that is must be poster B.
Puzzle 004: Bumper Perspective
Location: Knickknack Alley Activation: Touch the toy red car in front of the kiosk Picarats: 20 The correct car is the one nearest the middle, facing the lower-right.
Puzzle 005: Robot Factory
Location: Knickknack Alley Activation: Speak the Guy, the man behind the toy kiosk Picarats: 35 This is a puzzle of trial and error in which you need to build a robot. First off, you need to put the shoes into the second box. The body then needs to be dragged into the fourth box and flipped upside-down. The head should be put in the third box and turned right.
The final piece is the arms and they need to go inside the first box and turned to the left. Once you have done this, press submit. With the puzzle complete, you can then play the mini-game. Here, you will need to guess which cup the ball is inside. You will lose to begin with, but pay close attention to the hands after they have mixed.

Puzzle 007: A Toasty Toast
Location: Carnival Arcade Activation: Speak to Collette Picarats: 30 Here you need to match the people at the bottom screen with the people at the top, selecting the people that are present in both screens. Lets say that the people on the bottom screen are categorised numerically, 1 through to 6, the people in the tent are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Location: Madame Lapushka's Activation: Touch the gold-sun symbol over the door in the top right corner of the screen.
Picarats: 35 This puzzle sees you needing to match the picture. It won't be an exact match as the mirror image will be vertical. You need to eliminate the wrong answers. The correct answer is D.
Puzzle 010: The Place to Be!
Location: Madame Lapushka's Activation: Speak to Madame Lapushka Picarats: 30 This sees you needing to count the people in the shop, so go ahead and count the pairs of feet. There are 6 pairs of feet and another two heads between feet one and two, and between feet five and six.
There are therefore 8 people.
Puzzle 011: Backstage Blunder
Location: City Monument Activation: Speak to Juggles the Clown Picarats: 30 Watch out here as this is a trick question. You need to find the item without a pair. The item that needs to be circled is the box being held by the clown. This doesn't have a pair.
Puzzle 012: Sharing the Burden
Location: Dromedary Lobby Activation: Speak to Pascal (Hotel Clerk) Picarats: 35 Here you need to use a little trial and error.

Person D found a coin made of stone at 50cm.
Puzzle 014: Bite of Bygone Days
Location: Classroom Activation: Automatically after puzzle 13 Picarats: 30 You will see that the fossil has 6 tooth marks. Fish A has three teeth on one side, so therefore must have three on the other side as well, giving it 6 teeth. The correct answer is therefore fish A.
