Layton Brothers: Mystery Room Answers (Updating as completed)

I just started playing this addictive mystery solving game that just came out on the App Store. I'm sure from the title you can assume what game is it. Since Google will index my blog soon enough I know most of you are here because you are searching for the answers, solutions, walkthrough. It's for iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and costs only $4.99 + additional mystery packs 1 and 2 are $2.99 and $1.99, respectively.

Here are the briefs, you can work backwards from these since you know the story, and the most important parts of the clues. 

Case 1 / Case No. 001
The Hand Sandwich

Zach Carrière is the true culprit. You know this from the start, this is the easiest case. In the middle, Zach will try to trick you by making you think the sandwich and it's ingredients are important. They are not he is the culprit. Most importantly are the tree in the corner which holds the murder weapon, the receipt under the table, and the fried fish on the side. 

Case 2 / Case No. 002
The Bungled Burglary

Goldie Potsby-Mahn is the culprit. Significant clues are that the body has glass on top of it, but the attack was a surprise and the events Goldie says are not in order. While searching for the murder weapon pick the glass instead of the knives. Then choose the clock and the hands and presume they are weapons. Finally, choose that the weapon was made of ice, molded with a paper thrown away in the bathroom, then melted into the pot. 

Case 3 / Case No. 003
A Murder Staged

Gloria Blaise is the culprit, and the evidence is that the blood button is in the trash behind the door, next to the fake gun. The note is planted on her. However, while solving this, assume her fiancé Roscoe Strapping is the culprit. He did in fact inflict her wound, switch the guns, put his greasy/oily/lubricated hand on the wall, and he told Destiny Knox to scream. Bray Clegg was uninvolved. 
Notable objects are the bullet hole in the wall by the photo, most everything else is obvious but the ending and who is truly behind it. 


Case 4 / Case No. 004
The Walking Corpse

Chico Careta committed the murder but was assisted by his fiancé. Relevant clues are that the door hinges are on the outside, and there is a missing screw by Doug outside. However, the killer was inside the entire time. He was hiding in the corner by the posters, and you can tell this by the way the alcohol spilled on the ground. Also relevant are crates A and B because the killer opened them and looked at their contents meaning someone was opening them instead of the statue climbing out. If Mr. Careta could read, then he would have known the correct crate. The corpse walked by using fishing line from the tackle box, strung over the wooden beams in the ceiling by the posters. 

Case 5 / Case No. 005
The DJ's Swansong

Mike de Bonair is the murderer. Originally, it was thought to be Dolly Hollerday with reasonable evidence and the case was closed. However, after reopening the case, it appears there is a discrepancy. The tea cup is not in the recording of  Dwight Dread falling, and additionally it appears to be murder because Dread left a note in his pocket about it all being a practical joke. When searching Anice Brewer it appears to be murder because she wrote a note on her hand about the sale happening after the show. She was not an accomplice because she left all the evidence in plain sight. The final evidence combined is that de Bonair knew that the broken glass was actually a women's perfume bottle, tying up the last knot. The most important clue is the discrepancy- the item is the broken tea glass (NOT the spilled tea), and it isn't heard on the recording of Dread.

Case 6 / Case No. 006
Kiss Goodbye

Case 7 / Case No. 007
The Mystery Rooms

Case 8 / Case No. 008
Ham and Cheese

Case 9 / Case No. 009
Good Cop, Bad Cop

Yayoi Kusama

The Challenge
Create 3 unique book covers for an artist.

The Artist
Yayoi Kusama is a modern, living artist, that has an obsession with dots. Her life has become combined with her work.

The Execution
I challenged myself not to use bleeds, and to incorporate dots more than just putting them as a background. There is a slight white border to give the eye some resting space.

 Thanks for looking!

dead blogs

Recently, I've been looking for a much more exciting blog url, and I wanted to keep it short and concise. I started using the blog creation bar to check different short combinations very quickly. As I saw that very common or just plain weird combinations were unavailable, it made me wonder who created these blogs, and what they wrote.

Most of the very very short 2 letter combinations such as 1o, oo, zz, az, all had just 1 post, made usually in the year 2000 or 2001, that just said "test."

For me, it was more interesting to see the blogs of the angsty teenagers that talked about their lives. They talked about how they went to the mall with Jimmy last weekend, or debated killing themselves a few weeks ago. By now, these people have probably moved on with their lives, but it was interesting to see what they wrote about for the 1 week they regularly updated their blog.

Just some thoughts

2013 Design Trends Forecast


From what I've seen for the past few months, the following trends, in my opinion, are up and coming, or will be fully utilized in the coming year.
Looking back, my State Of Fashion 2012 post, the trends I posted started to rise out of obscurity and become mainstream. Most of the trends I listed were in preparation for the coming Spring/Summer seasons, and I didn't look much past that to the winter during the second half of the year.

The 5 points are the main place design in heading, in my opinion. The first three are the unique directions brands and designers are taking, and 4/5 are these same brands and designers venturing out into uncomfortable territory.


  1. Simplicity over excess - (Design approach #1) - Examples: Windows and Ebay - Both companies traded in their complex or flamboyant logos in for more simplistic versions
  2. Complexity balanced simplicity, resulting in serenity - (Design approach #2) - Mainly, I think this approach is due to the Rise of the Gradient. For years, the gradient has been abused to be made for a "faux metal" look in Windows, but due to designer's more open use of colors, they can complexly insert many colors, but still make the piece very calming.
  3. minimalism - (Design approach #3) - Yes, you might say this isn't new, but I think the way it's being used is completely new and exciting. My favorite use of it is in a design that can be found HERE where the designer utilizes transparent paper. 
  4. Daring colors - Neons, lasers, iridescence, limes, bright COLORS! Neenah Astrobrights are a great example of all the crazy ways designers are willing to try. Instead of simply printing colors using CMYK, designers are adopting printing on more daring types of paper than the boring predictable black and white.This brings me to mention this project which I think is a great example of daring colors, and rejecting black/white, and the Approach #2 I mentioned earlier- complexity balanced simplicity, resulting in serenity. Even if companies don't adopt lime green paper for their branding, I think the Rise Of the Gradient will entice more color into design.
  5. Borderline glitch - I don't think this will become an extremely mainstream trend, but I think slowly it is making its way to prevelance. Glitching is more experimental, and unexpected, which designers are willing to try, but sometimes only to a point. Unpredictablility is never a good thing in design, especially when printing. Even if the unpredictable glitch doesn't rise, I think the unexpected patterns can be adopted into design and used across boundaries, such as this project.

The reasons for these trends is due to what is now referred to as the Great Recession. During that time, brands were determined to stay the same, but simultaneously cleaning up after themselves, cutting off the excess. Post-recession, people are still set in the simplistic mindset of saving and cutting off excess, but are, at the same time, venturing out and trying new things.

Now for the more general trends I see coming:


  • Websites bleeding to the edge 1  2
  • Alternative alphabets/ alphabetic appropriation 1 2
  • Experimental spacing/positioning 1  2
  • Reflecting/Mirroring images (I think this trend is probably the most annoying) 1
  • Tribal/Experimental typefaces 1  2  3
  • Sans Serif block typefaces 1 2
  • Revival of dead artforms- letterpress, typewriter, and a new emphasis on handmade 1 2
  • Colored business card edges 1 2 3
  • Interaction between photography and typography 1 2 3
