Turn World Geography in a Thrilling
Crime-Stopping Chase
Expand your knowledge of world geography as you track villans' trails
through 50 beautifully painted, scrolling landscapes from around the
world, each rich with history, culture and music. Learn more about each
country and culture you visit through spoken clues from over 200
animated characters you'll meet along the way. Or take a guided tour
with one of the ACME Good Guides™ and collect clues for future cases.
Plus, the Multimedia Library is filled with essays, spectacular color
photos, and video clips from the National Geographic Society.
Get ready to travel the world, encounter exotic sights and sounds, meet
unusual people - and arrest them. Carmen Sandiego's international crime
ring is furiously filching world treasures ordinary thieves wouldn't
dare to tackle. Why do you think the Mona Lisa's smile is missing? And
you know Achilles' heel didn't just walk off by itself. We're counting
on you, Gumshoe. So...
Get on the case. Check in with the Chief, via ACME's Satellite
Network for the lowdown on the latest heist.
Start your worldwide chase. Use the travel map to plan your
pursuit. It's a non-stop game of cat and mouse as you take off to exotic
locations, hot on the trail of the crooks.
Interrogate informants. Gather evidence that identifies the
fleeing fugitives and their whereabouts.
Crack clues by the book. Use the World Geography Reference Book
(World Almanac) to decipher details of the looters' locations.
Go for the Warrant. When you think you've got the goods on the
bad guys, submit your evidence, make the collar, and go to court. But
beware. Your evidence must be airtight or your suspect will go free.

Carmen Sandiego is a winner because whatever else the title is or
does, it's profoundly fun. The more fun it is, the theory goes, the
longer kids play. And the longer they play, the more they learn.
This is the essence of "stealth" education. What gets kids who play
Carmen Sandiego so excited and involved is the thrill of the
pursuit, not the facts they learn along the way. But the facts are
unavoidable.
