"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 new chapter in Carmen's saga.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this innovative Netflix game, you step into Carmen Sandiego's shoes for the first time. Embark on a globe-trotting adventure where you'll use high-tech gadgets to thwart daring heists and confront 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 game combines classic detective work with high-tech action. You'll gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems through engaging minigames. Experience stunning recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore. Carmen's arsenal includes a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes.

Carmen isn't alone in this adventure. She's joined 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.

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can download this game for free. It's a premium, single-player puzzle adventure with no in-game purchases. The game is also slated to release later on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.
