I loved playing this game as a kid. I felt like I had a leg up on my classmates. Now I have kids and I want them to feel that rush of fun and learning woven together so beautifully.

Saw this as a game show on PBS growing up and it was very neat how they followed geography, and landmarks throughout the world.

I'm hoping my kids will enjoy it as much as I did in elementary school, and learn world geography in the process.

I played this as a child and wanted to share it with my daughter, although I'm certain she will think it is dated. It still is a great program to teach geography.
Marta M on Sep 11, 2018
This looked like a fun way to learn geography.

Is this a new CD game or is it used?
A shopper on Jun 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: We only sell new items.
is this based on the old show or the new Netflix version?
A shopper on Jun 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It's based off the old game version not from either show but ours never worked in our Mac. We tried to load it on windows and it crashed and wouldn't work. We were refunded and told it doesn't work , so I'm not sure why they are still selling it unless we are the anomaly.
Is it compatible with windows 10 operating system?
A shopper on Feb 22, 2021
BEST ANSWER: No, the system requirements on this program are older than that.
Does play require a mouse?
Sue S on Feb 9, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it does. We also had an issue getting it to save progress- with Windows 10 it will play but not save progress. I tried many things to try to get it to run properly but was unsuccessful.
what version is this?
A shopper on Jan 9, 2020
BEST ANSWER: You can view the computer requirements here: https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/016646/Where-in-the-World-is-Carmen-Sandiego-CD-ROM.html? (back of box) This does rely on older computer operating systems.
Will this program work on windows 10?
A shopper on Jul 21, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The stated system requirements are 95, 98, and XP. It's a bit surprising but very welcome that a customer says it works on Win 10 - please note that is "unofficial" information rather than something we can stand behind.
Does anyone know if this version of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" will work with Windows 7?

Too old and clunky
This CD made my computer crazy. The technology (not to mention the animation) is so outdated that my modern PC just couldn't deal with it. Also, it is not user friendly. It seems like the game has to start from the very beginning each time, which means listening to the characters do the same opening narration over and over. It wasn't clear how to bypass that and go to the place where we left off. My son would play any old game if it has to do with geography, but I don't want to take the chance of killing my computer.

Fun and improved
I loved playing this game as a kid, and it has been improved. We love solving the cases! The only frustration is I cannot figure out how to save our progress, so we have to start over each time and solve every case again.

Really fun and educational!
I am using my father's world countries and cultures to teach the children this year and this program works perfectly with that. The children love playing it. It is great motivation for them to finish their schoolwork so they can play the game, which is still schoolwork, wonderful! The program is working on our computer which is a Windows 7, my concern was that it would not work on the newer operating system but it loaded right up and it's working Great!
