All in all it's a brain-draining, gut-wrenching adventure that requires every ounce of skill and courage to solve. With 1,200 clues, hundreds of historic events, numerous world famous witnesses to question and a time deadline, it's no mystery why Carmen Sandiego is the ultimate challenge for the ultimate detective!
