Your mission, gumshoe Catch Carmen Sandiego

) Your mission, gumshoe: Catch Carmen Sandiego in Google Earth.

I distinctly remember being tucked into the couch, computer on and ready for the chase. With my assignment from. ACME (first stop: Paris) I traveled from Singapore to Tokyo to Kathmandu chasing VILE villains, always on the lookout for that iconic scarlet coat and fedora.

Like many of my friends, I spent much of my time in the ‘90s obsessing over “Where in the .World Is Carmen Sandiego?” the games, the cartoon and the classic game show. I can remember Carmen Sandiego teaching me the currency of Hungary (forint), the capital of Iraq (Baghdad), and dozens of country flags. Argentina’s blue and white, Germany’s black, red and gold.

But Carmen Sandiego was more than just fun facts for children and adults alike. The globe-trotting game taught me the world was bigger than my couch, and got me excited to learn about new cultures and customs. That curiosity has taken me to more than 30 countries. (Carmen’s also responsible for a theme song that has been stuck in my head for decades.)

To celebrate the global explorer in all of us. Today we’re introducing The Crown Jewels Caper, the first in a series of Carmen Sandiego games in Google Earth. Created in collaboration with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the home of Carmen Sandiego. Our game is an homage to the original. It’s for all those gumshoes who grew up with the chase, and for the next generation feeling that geography itch for the first time.
