Ditto, but at least it shows the people at Netflix haven't forgotten the show.

Hey @Jacqueline Hyde about a interactive game well there's one coming up March 10th it's called To Steal or Not to Steal and believe me it's a choosing your own path for Carmen Sandiego's sake in order to save Zack and Ivy by stealing something for VILE's sake...yikes! Play along or say goodbye to Zack and Ivy because they're going to be end up as VILE Operatives...I rather see the third season of Carmen Sandiego instead.

yep. Here it is..... Carmen Sandiego Is Going Back to its Roots With a New Netflix Game

"The Netflix show fleshes out Carmen (voiced here by Gina Rodriguez), V.I.L.E., and other characters a lot more than the '90s cartoon or games did, without entirely trading away the educational content for spy thriller plotting. Also, if you're on the older side and demand to be pandered to, the trailer for To Steal or Not To Steal does end with a reference to Rockapella's Carmen Sandiego anthem. "

Okay the game looks like it might be fun....gonna give it a try. I haven't had an opportunity to check out one of the new Carmen Sandiego games in a really long time so this isn't one I'm gonna pass up.

I’m with Lucy, they made Zack and Ivy an even lower common denominator. I didn’t think it was possible but a game is a game, even when its a marketing gimmick.

 

[Lucy]

yeah it's definitely a marketing gimmick, it won't ever come close to the original games or series and I think they know that. But at the same time I missed the newer games like the one from Facebook? and "Think Quick Challenge" and the one where you had to have all the gear to even play the game on the PC. So I've kinda been itching to see what they're doing with it....I did happen to play one but I can't remember the name of it @Tenchi Masaki . I remember the ACME agent Hawkin's was working with Julie or "Jewel's" and he really annoyed me 'cause he only cared about his gadgets. Plus at the end he grabs Carmen's arm. Dude. Peronal Space much? No wonder Carmen got a little aggravated at him...

Eh, I wouldn't say lower common denominator at least as far as the series goes but yep, the game certainly sounds like it does that.

Oh I meant for the game specifically, all of a sudden it’s like “hey were kidnapped and oh yeah well be evil forever un less you save us” dun dun dun

Oh I know that game it’s Treadures of knowledge I occasionally watch the Stolen Drums play through and that came up in the feed so I watched it. I think it’s an sequel ish to the Stolen Drums game and I can’t stand Hawkins gadget dependency either

I think despite the marketing spin it's not actually a game, but an interactive episode - which is how it was originally described - like Netflix commissioned for Black Mirror.

As for season 3, it's probably forthcoming. This is the last of the 20 episodes Netflix commissioned to begin with.

Did anyone not miss that one?

Did anyone not miss that one?

*looks as the games I own from my mom.*. Sadly I don’t think my mom had that one in her collection

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

Well you have a game to find and play ferret

 

[Everly]

Which game was that one?
