* {{Metapuzzle}}: The Painting is a jigsaw puzzle where you have to arrange the pieces (not only with the correct placement but also the correct orientation) in order to solve it. Gizmo is a building puzzle where you have to arrange the pieces of a mechanical dog to build it. And Inn is a hotel-themed puzzle where you're asked to place several pieces of furniture and decoration to their corresponding rooms, whether Layton's or Luke's. The catch for these three minigames? The jigsaw pieces, the robotic pieces ''and'' the furniture are all gathered one by one by solving the conventional puzzles in the game. Therefore, you'll be playing these minigames over the course of the game while you solve puzzles so you can ultimately solve these as well.

* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: The 7th puzzle revolves around someone who wishes to transport three wolves and three chicken while crossing a bridge. There's a raft that can support up to two animals, and at least one must be aboard to move the vehicle; and if there are more wolves than chicken in either side of the river (even when the person transporting them would try to quickly seize one of them back to the raft), then the wolves will eat the chicken. So Layton (the one who is trying to solve the puzzle) has to figure out the way to transport all six animals with all the aforementioned caveats in mind. The minimum number of steps (raft transports) necessary is 11.
