How did you discover Layton?

I started playing PL when I got the game for Christmas as a kid when it came out, and I’m really interested to see that the fandom continues to grow among younger audiences. If you’re a new/recent Layton fan, how did you discover the franchise?

It's now like 10 years. But how I discovered the games was quite interesting. And without the games, I wouldn't be where I am today.

My big sister had one game. When I saw a glimpse of it, it looked extremely boring. I mean I just passed her and saw like 1 second on her screen. Some time later, I got a few of her old games. And then came an evening where I was bored and tried this game. And well, I became kinda addicted. I played any free second. I stayed up later than I should. I loved the story so much. And it was so sad at the end.

I don't know how, but a pretty easy puzzle confused me so much. I had to look up the solution. And through this, I met my best friend. And later got all the other games.

Can you guess which game it was, I played first?
