Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? — About this game
A stolen treasure begins a chase through a chain of international destinations. Witnesses and local information point toward the thief’s next stop, while details about the suspect help narrow the identity needed for an arrest warrant. Travel uses limited time, so every unnecessary detour makes the pursuit harder. Read a clue as information about geography, culture, or a destination’s characteristics rather than guessing from a single familiar word. Keep updating the suspect profile while following the trail. Reaching the correct place is only part of the job: the case also needs a valid warrant before the thief can be brought in.
