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. This game is exclusively available on Netflix, bringing a fresh twist to the beloved character's story.
In this innovative Netflix game, players 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 confrontations with VILE’s most elusive criminals. As Carmen, who has transitioned from a notorious thief to a protector of the world's treasures, you will track down VILE as they execute high-profile heists. Your mission involves following clues, chasing criminals across the world, and ensuring they face justice.
The gameplay combines classic detective work with high-tech action, including gathering intel, cracking safes, and hacking security systems through engaging minigames. The game features stunningly detailed recreations of real-world locations such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore. To aid in her missions, Carmen utilizes an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for dramatic rooftop escapes.
Carmen isn't working alone; she's supported by her hacker ally, Player, who provides remote intel to help track down VILE’s top agents, including the notorious Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

The game is slated for release on other platforms later, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.
