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

Carmen Sandiego returns, but this time, she's traded her villainous cape for a detective's trench coat. Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have teamed up to create a Netflix exclusive game starring the legendary red-coated thief.

You Are Carmen Sandiego

For the first time ever, you play as Carmen Sandiego herself in this globe-trotting adventure. Expect high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and a showdown with VILE's most cunning criminals. Having swapped sides, Carmen now hunts down thieves and protects the world's most valuable treasures as VILE once again plots high-profile heists. Follow the clues, chase them across stunning recreations of real-world locations like Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, and bring them to justice.

The game blends classic detective work with thrilling high-tech action. You'll gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems in engaging minigames. Carmen’s arsenal includes a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes.

She’s not alone, though. Her hacker ally, Player, provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top agents, including Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

Netflix Subscribers Rejoice!

If you have a Netflix subscription, you can download the game for free. It's a premium, single-player puzzle adventure with no in-app purchases. The game is also slated for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.

Long-time fans of the original 1985 "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" will appreciate this exciting role reversal. Find it now on the Google Play Store.
