Netflix’s New Game Carmen Sandiego Brings the Iconic Thief as a Detective

The iconic Carmen Sandiego returns, but this time, she's traded her villainous cape for a detective's trench coat! Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have collaborated on a Netflix exclusive game that puts you in Carmen's shoes.

Become Carmen Sandiego

For the first time ever, you play as Carmen Sandiego herself in a thrilling, globe-trotting adventure. Employ high-tech gadgets, execute daring heists, and confront VILE's most cunning criminals. The tables have turned: Carmen, once the master thief, is now the world's protector, tracking down notorious criminals and safeguarding priceless treasures. VILE is up to their old tricks, orchestrating high-stakes heists, and it's your job to follow the trail, pursue them across the globe, and bring them to justice.

Expect a blend of classic detective work and cutting-edge action. You'll engage in engaging minigames, gathering intelligence, cracking codes, and bypassing security systems. The game boasts stunningly realistic recreations of real-world cities, including Rio de Janeiro and Singapore.

Carmen's arsenal of spy gear is at your fingertips, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for spectacular rooftop escapes. She's not alone in this mission; her hacker accomplice, Player, provides crucial remote intel to help track down VILE's top operatives, including the infamous Paper Star from the Netflix animated series.
