"Carmen Sandiego: From Thief to Detective in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego is making a thrilling comeback, but with a twist—she's now the detective rather than the super thief. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this new game is a Netflix exclusive that brings the iconic character into a fresh role.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this groundbreaking game from Netflix, you'll step into Carmen's shoes for the first time. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. As Carmen, once the world's most notorious villain, you're now tasked with tracking down thieves and safeguarding the world's greatest treasures. VILE is back, orchestrating high-profile heists, and it's up to you to follow the clues, chase them across the globe, and bring them to justice.

Engage in classic detective work combined with high-tech action. You'll gather intelligence, crack safes, and hack into security systems through engaging minigames. The game features stunning recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, adding to the immersive experience.

Carmen comes equipped with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes. She's not alone in her mission, either. Her hacker ally, Player, provides crucial intel from afar, assisting in the pursuit of 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 dive into this premium, single-player puzzle adventure at no extra cost. The game promises no in-game purchases, ensuring a complete experience. While it's currently a Netflix exclusive, it's slated to expand to other platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.

For fans of the original 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?' from 1985, this game offers a fascinating look at how the narrative has evolved. You can find it on the Google Play Store to explore the new detective-driven storyline.
