Professor Layton and the Curious Village/Chapter 7: The Abandoned Park

Chapter Goal: Does the park hold the way into the tower? Search the park grounds to find out.

Along with the start of Chapter 7 comes the journal entry "The Sealed Park."

Head to Town Hall.

Town Hall
Question Rodney about the locked park gate. He tells you that the park maintenance is the job of the park caretaker. If you want to enter the park, you'll need to find his whereabouts. Since the park caretaker also takes care of the sewers, Layton suggests you head down there.

After your conversation, the Journal Entry "Finding a Way Into the Park" appears.

Make your way to Park Road and descend into the open sewer cover.

Sewer
Feel free to talk to Pavel, although the disorganized explorer does not have any puzzles for you to solve. However, if you tap the sewer opening, you will find hidden Puzzle 120! Do not tap on the Shoe Icon and then tap on the sewer opening, for this will cause you to move back to Park Road and will not trigger the puzzle.

Move left.

Sewer Exit
It seems odd to find Stachen in the sewer, but if you talk to him he will ask you to solve Puzzle 084, which seems completely normal.

We haven't found the caretaker yet, so keep heading left.

Outside the Sewer
There's not much here, but tap on the Laytonmobile to trigger Puzzle 085. Solve the puzzle and you will be rewarded with a Fossil. Give it to Layton.

Head back to the sewer entrance. This time, head right.

Sewer Dead End
Talk to Sylvain and ask him to open up the park gate. He promises to let you in just as soon as he finishes his job. Layton offers to help, and Puzzle 086 will trigger automatically. Solve it to gain a painting scrap and access to the park.

The Journal Entry "The Park, at Last" appears after Sylvain opens the gates.

Walk into the Park!

Park Path Fork


Touch the poster on the left to discover a bit of the park's history. It seems the park was built solely for Flora's enjoyment!

To explore further, head left.

Abandoned Tent
Tap on the right side of the drink stand to find the hidden Puzzle 115.

Move right.

Ferris Wheel
Tapping on the Ferris Wheel causes Layton to think of puzzle 087. A correct answer is rewarded with a painting scrap!

Backtrack to the Park Path Fork and move right.

Shack Path
Talk to Sylvain and he'll give you puzzle 088 to solve. If you answer it correctly, you will receive a Violin as a reward! Give it to Luke.

Tap on the bottom-right part of the shack. Puzzle 116 is hiding here!

Before moving on, tap on the shiny white scrap on the ground beside Sylvain. It's another note from the mysterious journalist! This time the note hints that the park was built to distract Flora from the secret of the village.

File this information away and head north.

The Waterside Shack
Upon entering the area, Layton and Luke examine the shack by the water but find it locked. The Journal Entry "The Lost Amusement Park" appears.

Walk back to the Ferris Wheel by moving left.

Ferris Wheel
Luke and Layton examine the Ferris Wheel closely, but to no avail. They are just about to give up and go back to town when the Ferris Wheel mysterious jumps free of its stand and begins chasing them. After a terrifying run, the Ferris Wheel crashes into the Waterside Shack and sinks into the surrounding water. In the remains of the Waterside Shack, Luke finds an entrance to the sewers.

The Journal Entry "A Close Call" appears after the cinema scene.

Move into the remains of the Waterside Shack.

Under the Shack
Tap on the stone tablet to trigger Puzzle 089. A successful answer rewards you with an Artisan's Teapot and access to the left corridor. Give the teapot to Layton.

Head left.

Underground Path
In order to move forward, tap on the door at the end of the corridor. This will trigger Puzzle 090. Solve the puzzle to move through the door and gain the final painting scrap!

Go into the Painting section of the Professor's Trunk to put together the painting. When it is complete, The Art Lover's House will be unlocked in the Bonus Section.

When you are finished, move through the open doorway.

Underground Area


Tap on the picture on the right wall. Luke is suddenly reminded of Puzzle 091. Solve it to get a Bone China Teacup that goes perfectly with  Layton's Teapot. This is the last Inn Item!

Go into the Inn section of the Professor's Trunk. If you have arranged the rooms to please both Luke and Layton, The Decorator's House will unlock in the Bonus Section.

Now tap on the pictures on the back wall. When the pictures have been slid aside, Layton and Luke find a key shaped like the tower! "The Tower Key" is added to your list of mysteries.

This concludes Chapter 7 and the Journal Entry "We've Found a Key" appears.

Head back to Town

Park Road
Layton and Luke will automatically stop on Park Road. Layton will suggest they first head back to the inn to figure out the identity of the suspicious intruder in St. Mystere.

Chapter 8 begins.
