Layton Brothers: Mystery Room is a crime solving mystery game from Level-5, the team behind the well-known Professor Layton series on Nintendo DS. While this incarnation may only bear passing ties to the prof's previous adventures, it's still a solid adventure game that will remind you of Phoenix Wright in some ways. Which is a good thing!
Inspector Alfendi Layton is a bit of a genius investigator. His new assistant Lucy Baker isn't as sharp, but she shows a lot of promise. You help Lucy and Layton solve crimes one case at a time, each more unusual than the last. And seeing how the first mystery is about a strangled woman with her hand in a sandwich, that's saying something. Cases take place in several stages, with you working through the investigation at each turn. It starts with the crime scene, allowing you to zoom and pan around an exact recreation while you gather evidence. Suspects get questioned, clues are uncovered, and eventually you get to j'accuse someone and follow through to get to the heart of the matter.
Even though most of the investigation is "on rails", there's still a fair bit of challenge to be found in Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. It's more of an interactive mystery than a traditional game in some ways, but it's written and illustrated so well you'll get drawn in all the same. The free download offers up two mysteries to play through, each one taking about half an hour to complete, maybe longer. Two separate in-app purchases let you buy chapters three through nine, which is a hefty amount of content.
Be ready to do some honest crime solving with Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. Moderate leaps of logic aren't out of the question, just make sure they're, you know, logical!
NOTE: This game was played and reviewed on the iPad 3. Game was available in the North American market at the time of publication, but may not be available in other territories. Please see individual app market pages for purchasing info.

Solve the Bookcase Puzzle
Tap the dotted circle over the bookcase for a closer look the area.
Examine any of the four books sticking out. They can all be pushed in, but they'll pop back out unless you press them in the right order.
Note the title of each book: Gran Smith's Diet, Cat Compendium, Identikit Cars, and Tea Total.
Next, use two fingers to drag the viewpoint to the hallway at the right area of the building. Tap the dotted circle at the end of the hall to examine the back wall.
Zoom in the camera completely to get a close-up look at the Clock hanging on the wall.
Pay close attention to the odd symbols at very specific points on the clock: The Apple is at 12 o'clock, the White Cat is at 3 o'clock, the Tea Cup is at 5 o'clock, and the Yellow Car is at 8 o'clock.
The curious symbols on the clock all match the titles of the books in the lounge.
Gran Smith's Diet is the Apple. Cat Compendium is the White Cat. Tea Total is the cup of tea. Identikit Cars is the Yellow Car.
That's certainly important to note, but you'll need to find one more clue to find the right order.
Tap the dotted circle over the door at the right side of the hallway to inspect it.
The Bathroom Door is locked, but there's no keyhole in the door. Tapping the marker for the door will add the "What unlocks the bathroom door?" deduction to your Deductions Board.
Zoom in the camera past the fourth dot on the zoom slider to find the marker for the Note On Door.
Read the message on the note very carefully: "WC from three o'clock."
You've already found the symbol at 3 o'clock is the White Cat. WC must be referring to that, and not the Water Closet! Now you have all the clues to solve the puzzle.
Go back to the bookcase by tapping the dotted circle over it.
Push the four books in the correct order using the information from the clues you found on the clock and in the note.
Remember the note said the White Cat from 3 o'clock, which means that's your starting point.
From there, if you were to read the symbols on the clock clockwise, the order is White Cat, Tea Cup, Yellow Car, Apple.
Push the books in that same order: Cat Compendium, Tea Total, Identikit Cars, and Gran Smith's Diet.
Voila! The books will stay pushed in and trigger a mechanism to open the Bathroom Door in the hallway.
Open the Music Box & the Display Cabinet
Tap the dotted circle over the cabinet to examine the area more closely.
Select the Cabinet marker. The cabinet's locked, it seems to need a key of some kind.

Zoom in half way again to look in this drawer. Take the Rickety Key you find inside.
Drag the viewpoint back up and left to the lounge.
Examine the display cabinet in the corner again by tapping its dotted circle.
Select the Cabinet marker to try to open it.
Start Questioning!
Question 1: Which key fits the cabinet?

Question 2: What might you use to extract the broken-off piece of key?
Solution: The Tweezers.
The Rickety Key will be returned to you now as a Broken Key.

Zoom in at least half way and select the marker for the Music Box.
A new deduction card, "What will make the music box play?" will be added to the Deductions Board.
Tap the Music Box again to try to open it.
Start Questioning!
Question 1: What might work as a winder for the music box?
Solution: The Broken Key.

Zoom the camera in halfway to find the marker for the Swish Key inside the opened music box.
Tap the dotted circle over the display case to examine it again.
Select the Cabinet marker to try to open it once more.
Start Questioning!
Question 1: What else might work as a key?
Solution: The Swish Key.
The display cabinet will now be unlocked and opened for you!

Question 1: What do you want to fill with water?
Solution: The Cow Goblet, the Rhino Goblet, the Dog Goblet, and the Pig Goblet.
Find the four notes
Tap the dotted circle over the bookcase to inspect it.
Zoom in past the fourth dot on the zoom slider at the bottom of the screen to reveal the marker for the Old Note.
The note reads: "Bovine comes before swine".
Next, examine the dotted circle over the coffee table in the middle of the room.
Zoom the camera in at least half way to reveal the Pointed Note marker.
This note reads: "Hornless is the beast that leads the way".
Drag the down and right using to fingers to move the viewpoint to the bedroom.
Select the dotted circle over the bed for a close-up view.
Zoom the camera in past the fourth dot on the zoom slider to find the Crumpled Note marker.
This note reads: "Swine follows after canine".
Lastly, use two fingers to drag upward and to the right to look in the bathroom.
Tap the dotted circle around the toilet to take a closer look.
Zoom in past the fourth dot on the slider again to discover the Smelly Note marker.
The last note reads: "Horned is the last beast to go, the flames dying in its wake".
The second half of this note offers an additional clue.
The only area in the room where you've seen flames is the fireplace, so the note must be referring to that in some way. And what makes flames die?
Water, of course! And you just so happen to have four goblets full of water.
Now you have all the clues and items you need, all that remains is to put the information together and solve the puzzle.
Put Out the Fire
Drag the viewpoint left using two fingers to move it to the lounge.
Tap the dotted circle over the fireplace to take a closer look at the area.
Zoom the camera in halfway and select the Fireplace marker.
Prof will allow you to select which goblets to use on the fireplace, but don't start picking goblets randomly.
There's a very specific order needed to douse the flames, do you know it? Pay close attention to the animals on each goblet.
Use the hints from the four notes you found around the building to find the correct order.
The Pointed Note from the coffee table gives you your first important clue: "Hornless is the beast that leads the way".
This means that whichever goblet is first has a picture of an animal without horns.
That eliminates the Rhino and Cow as an option, leaving only the Dog and Pig as possible first goblets.
Next, consider the Crumpled Note you discovered in the bedroom: "Swine follows after canine".
A swine is a pig and a canine is a dog, so you now know that the pig goblet is used after the dog goblet.
Therefore, the Dog Goblet must be the first goblet that goes into the fire.
Now take a look at the Old Note from the bookcase: "Bovine comes before swine".
Bovine is a cow, so that must mean that the cow goblet is used before the pig goblet.
Lastly, study the message in the Smelly Note you found by the toilet: "Horned is the last beast to go, the flames dying in its wake".
The horned animals you already confirmed are the Cow and Rhino.
You know the cow comes before the pig, so it can't be the last beast.
That leaves the Rhino Goblet as the only option for the last goblet to be used on the fire.
Put it all together and you know the order; Dog is first, Cow comes before Pig, and Rhino is last!
Start Questioning!
Question 1: What could you use to put out the fire?
The Dog Goblet, then the Cow Goblet, next the Pig Goblet, and lastly the Rhino Goblet.
Ta-dah! The fire will go out, revealing the secret passage.
