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

Carmen Sandiego is back, and this time, she's stepping into the detective's shoes! Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this thrilling new game is a Netflix exclusive, bringing the iconic red-coated super thief into a whole new role.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In Netflix's latest offering, you slip into Carmen Sandiego's shoes for an unprecedented experience. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and confrontations 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 continues their spree of high-profile heists, you, as Carmen, must follow the clues, chase the culprits across the globe, and bring them to justice.

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

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

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, ensuring a pure gaming experience. The game is also slated to launch later on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.
