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

Carmen Sandiego, the iconic red-coated super thief, is back in action, but this time with a twist. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, the new game transforms Carmen from a notorious thief into a master detective. Exclusively available on Netflix, this thrilling adventure lets you step into Carmen's shoes for the very first time.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this Netflix exclusive game, you embark on a globe-trotting journey filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. As Carmen, you'll track down thieves and safeguard the world's most precious treasures. VILE is up to their old tricks, orchestrating high-profile heists, and it's your mission to follow the clues, chase them across the globe, and bring them to justice.

Experience the thrill of classic detective work combined with high-tech action. You'll gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems through engaging minigames. The game features stunning recreations of real-world locales such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, adding a layer of realism to your adventures.

Carmen comes equipped with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes. She's not alone in her mission; her hacker ally, Player, provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top agents, including Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.
