Carmen Sandiego, the iconic red-coated super thief, is back in a thrilling new role as a detective in a game developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, exclusively available on Netflix. This marks a significant shift from her traditional role, offering fans a fresh perspective on the beloved character.
You Play as Carmen Sandiego
In this new Netflix game, players step into Carmen's shoes for the first time, embarking on a globe-trotting adventure. The game is filled with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. As Carmen, once the master thief herself, you now track down other thieves and safeguard the world's greatest treasures. VILE continues their notorious high-profile heists, and it's up to you to follow the clues, chase them across the globe, and bring them to justice.
The gameplay combines classic detective work with high-tech action. Players will gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems through engaging minigames. The game features stunning recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, adding an immersive layer to the experience.
Carmen is equipped with an impressive array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, perfect for 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 familiar faces like Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can download this game for free. It's a premium, single-player puzzle adventure without any in-game purchases. While it's currently exclusive to Netflix, plans are in place for its release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam later on.
