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

Carmen Sandiego is making a comeback, but with a twist: she's no longer evading detectives—she's become one. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this new game brings the iconic red-coated super thief to life in a fresh role. And it's a Netflix exclusive, so you'll need a subscription to dive into this thrilling adventure.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this innovative title, you step into Carmen's shoes for the first time. Embark on a global quest filled with cutting-edge gadgets, daring heists, and confrontations with VILE's most elusive criminals. Carmen, once the notorious villain, now takes on the role of a detective, tracking down thieves and safeguarding the world's greatest treasures. As VILE executes high-profile heists, you, as Carmen, must follow the clues, pursue them across the globe, and ensure they face 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 game boasts stunning recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, providing an immersive experience.

Equipped with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, Carmen executes dramatic rooftop escapes. She's not alone in this endeavor; she's joined by her hacker ally, Player, who provides crucial intel to track down 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 download this game at no additional cost. It's a premium, single-player puzzle adventure with no in-game purchases. While it's currently exclusive to Netflix, the game is slated to eventually reach Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.

For those who fondly remember the original 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?' from 1985, this new game offers a fascinating flip of the script. You can experience it directly from the Google Play Store.
