Carmen Sandiego Celebrates 40th Anniversary at Japan

Netflix and Gameloft have released an exciting new update for the Carmen Sandiego game, where the iconic thief-fighter embarks on a thrilling adventure in Japan during the Cherry Blossom Festival. But don't be fooled—Carmen is not there for a vacation; she's on a mission.

While the Japanese locals celebrate the Sakura season, Carmen dives into a new case at the Free FestiVILE event, a limited-time adventure running from April 7th through May 4th.
