Real Life Professor Layton Solving Puzzles Across The Country

Even though "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box" is out in the wild, Nintendo isn't giving up on bringing the puzzles to the masses. As a means of promoting the game, they'll be sending a representative dressed up as the one and only puzzle professor, to cities across the country.

If fans manage to find Layton Lookalike, they'll be asked to solve a puzzle. Solve it correctly and they'll have a chance to win a copy of the game. Nintendo will also have a site promoting his excursion, giving out hints of where to find the Professor.

Here's his schedule, which starts this Wednesday:

• Wed., Sept. 23: Minneapolis
• Fri., Sept. 25: Miami
• Tues., Sept. 29: Boston
• Wed., Sept 30: Seattle

If you manage to spot Layton in one of these cities, let us know in the comments. Personally I'd be a little terrified if I spotted this guy wandering around the super market or (god help us) an elementary school playground, but I'm sure Nintendo will place him in appropriate and puzzle-ridden locales.
