Netflix and Gameloft have launched a fresh update for the Carmen Sandiego game, transporting players to Japan during its iconic Cherry Blossom Festival. This isn't a leisurely trip - our master thief is back on the case.
Carmen Sandiego Pursues VILE During Sakura Season
While locals celebrate hanami season, Carmen embarks on a time-sensitive investigation dubbed "Free FestiVILE," running from April 7th through May 4th. Her mission? Recover the stolen sacred Shinboku tree before time runs out.
Players will navigate vibrant Japanese landscapes from Tokyo shrines to blossom-lined pathways, gathering clues and chasing leads. New cosmetic rewards include a traditional happi coat outfit alternative to Carmen's signature red trenchcoat.
Celebrating 40 Years of Carmen Sandiego
This milestone anniversary brings back the classic Rockapella theme song, available in both Standard and Deluxe game editions. The update also draws heavy inspiration from Netflix's animated reboot, featuring similar high-stakes missions where Carmen safeguards cultural artifacts by outsmarting criminals.
The limited-time Japanese adventure won't last forever - download now via the Google Play Store to experience this seasonal event before it disappears with the falling cherry blossoms.
