The Carmen Sandiego series has been around for yonks, but this is the first time you actually get to play as the chief thief! In the previous games, crafty Carmen was actually the villain you were hell-bent on hunting, but now she’s temporarily teamed up with the ACME crime fighting organisation! Can she stop VILE in its tracks? You have seven days to complete each investigation, and must follow your foe from city to city until you make the arrest. Leads will help you work out where your suspect has gone. Have they made their way to the towering metropolis of Tokyo or our very own Brisbane? India or Instanbul? Once you arrive, you’ll interview witnesses, search for clues, use high-tech gadgets, crack computers, pursue perpetrators and more. Each piece of intel you gain lets you narrow down your list of suspects – a bit like the board game Guess Who? – until you can issue a warrant and track down your target.

GAME NINJA PRO TIP!

Carmen Sandiego is free to play on mobile if you have a Netflix subscription, but you’ll need to buy it if you want to play on PC or console. Speaking of Netflix, it’s worth watching the animated series before you play – it’s a lot of fun!
