"Carmen Sandiego: From Thief to Detective in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego, the iconic figure known for her red trench coat and elusive nature, is making a triumphant return, but with a twist. Developed by Gameloft in collaboration with HarperCollins Productions, this new game transforms Carmen from a master thief into a master detective. Exclusively available on Netflix, this game marks a significant shift in Carmen's narrative.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

For the first time, you'll step into the shoes of Carmen Sandiego herself in a thrilling adventure. Embark on a global quest to thwart VILE's latest schemes, engaging in daring heists and high-tech showdowns with some of the most notorious criminals in the world. As Carmen, your mission is to protect the planet's greatest treasures by tracking down these thieves and bringing them to justice.

The game combines classic detective work with modern action sequences. You'll collect intelligence, crack safes, and hack into security systems through engaging minigames. The settings are breathtaking, featuring detailed recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore.

Equipped with an array of spy gadgets, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, Carmen navigates through rooftops and high-security areas with ease. She's not alone in this endeavor; her trusted hacker ally, Player, provides crucial intel from afar, aiding in the pursuit of VILE's top agents, including the infamous 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 additional cost. There are no in-game purchases, making it a pure, uninterrupted experience. While it's currently exclusive to Netflix, the game is slated to expand to other platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam in the future.

For those nostalgic about the original 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?' from 1985, this new game offers a fresh perspective on the beloved character. You can explore this intriguing role reversal directly from the Google Play Store.
