Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?, also known as Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time, is a remake of the 1989 game of the same name. It features some of the cast members from the show, including Lynne Thigpen as The Chief, Brenda Burke as Carmen Sandiego, John Latham as Sir Vile, Alaine Kashian as Jacqueline Hyde, Paula Leggett Chase as Medeva, and Jamie Gustis as Dr. Belljar. The game begins in the present day when Carmen Sandiego breaks into ACME Timenet headquarters in San Francisco and steals a time travel device called the ACME Chronoskimmer. Carmen sends her V.I.L.E. villains Sir Vile, Dr. Belljar, Baron Grinnit, Medeva, General Mayhem, Jacqueline Hyde, Buggs Zapper, Jane Reaction, and Dee Cryption to travel through time and steal historical treasures, thereby altering the course of history. She also provides them with a note detailing where to hide before she picks them up. After the theft, the Chief greets the player and explains the importance of recovering the device and restoring history, as well as the Chronoskimmer's safeguard mechanic of leaving time tunnels behind. The Chief sends the player on a series of missions to stop Carmen and her crooks. Each mission has the players paired up with a Good Guide like Ann Tickwittee, Ivan Idea, Rock Solid, Renee Santz, and Polly Tix. After the eighth case is solved and all the crooks are incarcerated, Carmen Sandiego uses the Chronoskimmer to bail them out and commit more thefts in history. After reinforcing the prison with "laser bars", the Chief sends the player to recapture the crooks and catch Carmen once and for all. After the player finishes recapturing the crooks and restoring history while capturing the final crook Dee Cryption, Carmen Sandiego lets the player retrieve the Chronoskimmer and then goes through time, until she returns to the present to steal her personal dossier from ACME HQ. After a chase by all five Good Guides, Carmen Sandiego is caught and incarcerated. Once the player is successful, the Chief lets them in on top secret information: Carmen Sandiego was once an ACME agent but she felt the challenge of catching crooks was too easy, so she became a villain to outsmart her former colleagues. She aimed to delete a detailed dossier about her transition, which is thematically linked to her desire to delete the memory of history's greatest figures and achievements (dubbed "Project: History Sweep"), under the pretense of simply "stealing history's greatest treasures". While incarcerated, Carmen tells the players that they won't be able to hold on to her for long. Though unstated in the game, it is implied that Carmen Sandiego only ordered her henchmen to steal these items as a decoy to ensure the ACME headquarters was completely empty while all agents were cleaning up her trail of historical messes.
