My interpretation of one of my favorite TV shows from childhood: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? This work is primarily based on the TV game show version rather than the computer game, book, or cartoon versions.

The amount of detail that goes into each branch of this storygame is impeccable. It captured the mood of the source material and the interview system was clever. Very well done.

Easily one of the best fanfics on the site. It was witty, well written, and really had the feel of the old Carmen Sandiego point-and-click adventure games that I practically grew up on. Great story, man!

Oh that was fun! I gave it a seven, originally I was planning a six, which was about ultimate for a storygame about Carmen Sandiego. I really, really, really loved how you incorporated so much history and educational material into the game. That was especially cool because Carmen Sandiego was an educational game itself. I liked the varying degrees of difficulty from start to end and the writing itself was really impeccable. Only your use of variables as opposed to scripting to display the TIMELEFT variable was anything less than perfect. My only advice to creating a better storygame is to choose a stronger topic. This was still, however, an excellent storygame. Thanks :)

Excellent game. Great fantasy. A minor point is that the pages are sometimes too long (for me at least). For the rest no complaints!

Brings me back to childhood, and playing those games.

That was very good, I enjoyed it very much, this did bring back very fond memories of playing the game, watching the game show and the cartoon when I was a Little Kid. Please, make more.

Excellent! Truly fits the mood of the Carmen Sandiego-verse, and amusing in its own right. Plus educational.

Amazing bravo.
The level of detail is amazing and must have been very hard to research all of that. All of this is spot on to the actual game. It has great descriptions of characters and a great plot.
8/8 all across the board.

I really loved it. Even though I lost, I will try again. Now you make me want to see the show! I know, i've never seen it even though it's on my brother's favorite channel besides Nick Jr, Qubo.

Awesome Approves!
I really liked this, and I say this with complete truth. This is a simple but lengthy game which keeps the reader interested as he goes on. I really didn't find any major grammar and spelling errors, and the game-play was fun and original.
7/8
