"Carmen Sandiego Transforms from Thief to Detective in Netflix

Carmen Sandiego is making a thrilling return, but this time, she's trading in her thieving ways for detective work. Developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, this new game is a Netflix exclusive that invites players to step into the iconic red coat of Carmen Sandiego herself.

You Play as Carmen Sandiego

In this fresh take on the classic series, you embark on a globe-trotting adventure as Carmen Sandiego. Instead of evading the law, you're now the one solving mysteries and chasing down the notorious VILE organization, which is back to their old tricks, pulling off high-profile heists. Your mission is to follow the clues, traverse the world, and bring these criminals to justice.

The game blends traditional detective work with high-tech action. You'll engage in various minigames to gather intel, crack safes, and hack security systems. The visuals are breathtaking, featuring meticulously crafted recreations of real-world locales such as Rio de Janeiro and Singapore.

Armed with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider, Carmen navigates through challenging environments and executes dramatic rooftop escapes. She's not alone in her quest; her trusted hacker ally, Player, provides remote assistance, helping track down VILE's top agents, including the notorious Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can dive into this premium, single-player puzzle adventure at no extra cost. There are no in-game purchases, ensuring a complete experience from start to finish. The game is also slated for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, broadening its availability to gamers across various platforms.
