Carmen Sandiego: From Thief to Detective in Netflix's New Game

Carmen Sandiego, the iconic red-coated thief, is back, but with a twist: she's now the detective. Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have teamed up to create a thrilling game that's exclusively available on Netflix. If you're a fan of the legendary super thief, you're in for a treat.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this exciting new game, you step into Carmen's shoes for the first time. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and epic showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. Once the elusive villain, Carmen is now on a mission to track down thieves and protect the world's greatest treasures. As VILE continues its high-profile heists, you, as Carmen, will follow the clues, chase them across the globe, and bring them to justice.

The game combines classic detective work with high-tech action. You'll gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems through engaging minigames. Experience stunning recreations of real-world locations like Rio de Janeiro and Singapore. Carmen's arsenal includes a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes.

Carmen isn't working alone. She's joined by her hacker ally, Player, who provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top agents, including the notorious Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

Do You Have a Netflix Subscription?

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can download the game for free. It's a premium, single-player puzzle adventure with no in-game purchases. The game is also slated to be released later on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.

For those who grew up playing 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?' from 1985, this game offers a fresh perspective on the beloved character. You can find it on the Google Play Store to see how the script has flipped.
