Chicago Men and Women To Face Off In Grant Park For Nintendo's Professor Layton Puzzle Challenge
What do you get when you combine Nintendo, a phone booth and a battle of the sexes?
We'll find out tomorrow in Grant Park as Nintendo is hosting a puzzle challenge to help celebrate the launch of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, a new hand-held game created exclusively for the Nintendo DS family of systems. On Wednesday, Sept. 8, visitors to Grant Park are invited to take part in Professor Layton's "Ladies vs. Gents" Puzzle Challenge.
Actors dressed as though they stepped out of the game and into the present will invite consumers to enter a classic red, British-style telephone booth - a nod to the game's London setting - and play through a fun and challenging selection of the new game's puzzles at this free event. Men's and women's scores will be tallied and compared throughout the day to determine which gender has the top puzzle-solving chops. Similar events will be held in Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia to give men and women around the country an early look at the game and a chance to rack up points for their gender.
Launching across North America on Sept. 12, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is the third installment in the acclaimed Professor Layton series of portable video games. The game features a time-traveling mystery that players must unravel by solving a variety of brain-teasing riddles and logic puzzles. More information is available at www.professorlaytonds.com.
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 8: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Grant Park
(Near the corner of Columbus Dr. and Jackson Blvd.)
