Carmen Sandiego is making a thrilling comeback, but this time, she's not the one evading capture. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this new game sees the iconic red-coated super thief transformed into a detective. Available exclusively on Netflix, this game promises an exciting twist on the classic character.
You Play as Carmen Sandiego
In this innovative Netflix game, players get to step into Carmen Sandiego's shoes for the first time. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense confrontations with VILE’s most elusive criminals. As Carmen, your mission is to track down thieves and safeguard the world's most valuable treasures. VILE is back with their high-profile heists, and it's up to you to follow the clues, chase them across continents, and bring them to justice.
Expect a blend of classic detective work and 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. Carmen is equipped with an array of spy gear including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes.
Carmen isn’t alone in this quest. She's aided by her hacker ally, Player, who provides remote intel to help track down VILE’s top agents, including Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.
