Hint coins and Coindar

In every modern Professor Layton game, hint coins are hidden in the scenery. You collect them by investigating suspicious spots, then spend them on official hints if a puzzle has you stuck.

Official materials for The New World of Steam introduceCoindar, described as a robot that helps you find hint coins. We will document exactly how Coindar works — and whether it changes the usual “tap everything” habit — after we can use it in the shipped game.

Locations

A chapter-by-chapter list of coin locations will be published here after launch, with each chapter linking back to thewalkthroughand individualpuzzle pages. We are not inventing locations in advance.
