Iconic Sleuth Carmen Sandiego Returns in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego: From Villain to Detective!

Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have teamed up to create a brand-new Carmen Sandiego game, exclusively available on Netflix initially. This time, you don't chase Carmen; you are Carmen!

Become the Legendary Detective

For the first time ever, players step into Carmen Sandiego's iconic red coat. This globe-trotting adventure features high-tech gadgets, thrilling heists, and a confrontation with VILE's most cunning criminals. The tables have turned – Carmen, the former master thief, is now on a mission to protect the world's most valuable treasures from VILE's latest schemes. Follow the clues, pursue them across stunning recreations of real-world cities like Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, and bring these master criminals to justice.

High-Tech Detective Work

Expect a blend of classic detective work and thrilling action sequences. Engage in engaging minigames, gathering intelligence, cracking intricate safes, and hacking advanced security systems. Carmen's arsenal of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, ensures dramatic rooftop escapes and thrilling chases.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Carmen doesn't face this challenge alone. She receives remote intel support from her trusted hacker ally, Player, aiding in the pursuit of VILE's top operatives, including the familiar Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

Netflix Exclusive (Initially!)

This premium, single-player puzzle adventure is free for Netflix subscribers, with no in-app purchases. Later 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 captivating twist on the classic franchise. Download it now from the Google Play Store (and soon other platforms!).
