Netflix’s New Game Carmen Sandiego Brings the Iconic Thief as a Detective

Embark on a thrilling new adventure with the iconic Carmen Sandiego! Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have released a Netflix exclusive game where you play as Carmen herself, a detective hot on the trail of notorious criminals.

Become Carmen Sandiego

For the first time ever, you become Carmen Sandiego, the legendary red-coated thief turned globe-trotting detective. This isn't your typical heist; you'll use high-tech gadgets, navigate daring chases, and confront VILE's most cunning agents in a showdown for the world's most valuable treasures. VILE is back, and it's up to you to stop them.

The game blends classic detective work with high-octane action. Expect engaging minigames involving intelligence gathering, safe cracking, and security system hacking. Explore stunningly recreated real-world locations, including Rio de Janeiro and Singapore.

Carmen's arsenal of spy gear includes a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for spectacular rooftop escapes. She's not alone, though; her hacker ally, Player, provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top operatives, including the familiar Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

Netflix Exclusive (for now!)

This premium, single-player puzzle adventure is currently available for free on Netflix. There are no in-game purchases. Future releases are planned for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.

Fans of the original 1985 "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" will find this a fascinating reimagining of the franchise. Download it now from the Google Play Store (if you're a Netflix subscriber).
