"Carmen Sandiego: From Thief to Detective in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego is making a triumphant return, but this time, she's not the one evading capture—she's the detective on the case. Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have teamed up to create a thrilling new game featuring the iconic red-coated super thief, available exclusively on Netflix.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this innovative Netflix game, you get to step into Carmen Sandiego's shoes for the first time ever. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure packed with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. Once the master of evasion, Carmen now uses her skills to track down thieves and safeguard the world's greatest treasures. As VILE orchestrates high-profile heists, you'll follow the clues, chase them across continents, 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, from the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro to the bustling cityscape of Singapore.

Armed with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, Carmen is equipped for dramatic rooftop escapes. She's not alone in her mission; her hacker ally, Player, provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top agents, including Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

Do You Have a Netflix Subscription?

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

For fans of the original 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?' from 1985, this game offers a fascinating twist on the classic formula. You can check it out on the Google Play Store to see how the narrative has evolved.
