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

Carmen Sandiego, the iconic red-coated figure who once outsmarted detectives worldwide, is back—but with a twist. In a thrilling new game developed by Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions, Carmen steps into the role of a detective. This Netflix exclusive brings the legendary thief into a new light, offering players an immersive experience like never before.

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.

Carmen comes equipped with an array of spy gear, including a grappling hook, night vision goggles, and a glider for those dramatic rooftop escapes.

Carmen isn't alone in her quest. She's joined 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.
