"Carmen Sandiego: From Thief to Detective in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego, the iconic red-coated super thief, is making a thrilling comeback, but with a twist. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this new game transforms Carmen from a master thief into a master detective. Exclusively available on Netflix, this game promises an exciting shift in perspective for fans of the legendary character.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this Netflix exclusive, you step into Carmen Sandiego's shoes for the first time, embarking on a globe-trotting adventure. The game is packed with high-tech gadgets, daring heists, and intense showdowns with VILE's most elusive criminals. As Carmen, your mission is to track down thieves and safeguard the world's greatest treasures. VILE is back, orchestrating 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. You'll 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 to the immersive experience.

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 quest; her hacker ally, Player, provides remote intel to help track down VILE's top agents, including the notorious Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.
