Netflix and Gameloft have just released an exciting new update for the Carmen Sandiego game, where the iconic character embarks on a thrilling adventure during Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival. But don't be fooled, this isn't a leisurely getaway—Carmen is on a mission.

As the people of Japan immerse themselves in the beauty of the Sakura season, Carmen dives into the Free FestiVILE event, a limited-time event running from April 7th to May 4th. The event, titled "Carmen Sandiego Chases VILE during the Cherry Blossom Festival," challenges players to track down the culprits who have stolen the sacred Shinboku tree. You'll be following leads, solving puzzles, and racing against time to uncover the mastermind behind the theft.

While on this mission, you'll be treated to stunning views of Japan, from the serene Tokyo shrines to the breathtaking cherry blossoms. As a special touch, you can unlock a traditional happi coat for Carmen, offering a fresh look from her iconic red trenchcoat.
