Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (Deluxe) is an educational detective game released in 1992 for MS-DOS. Developed and published by Brøderbund Software, it is an updated version of the original title, featuring enhanced VGA graphics and digitized sound effects. The game falls into the mystery and geography genres, tasking players with tracking Carmen Sandiego's gang across various global locations.

Players assume the role of an ACME detective tasked with solving a series of thefts. Each case begins with the player receiving an assignment and then traveling to different cities, such as Kathmandu, Tokyo, or Lima, to gather clues. The core gameplay involves interviewing witnesses at each location to obtain physical descriptions and other details about the suspect. Players can also review evidence reports and contact informants through Crime Net to collect additional information, such as a suspect's preferred vehicle or sport. Progression is structured around a time limit, typically one week per case, within which players must identify and apprehend the correct thief.

Once sufficient clues are compiled, the player transmits the suspect's profile to an automated system called Warren the Warrant Robot to obtain an arrest warrant. Before making an arrest, players can consult in-game dossiers to verify their deductions. A unique feature of this edition is a geography quiz that players must pass before receiving a promotion within the ACME agency. Successful detectives who solve enough cases and pass these quizzes can eventually be listed in the game's hall of fame. The player can also visit the ACME headquarters in San Francisco, though this location is primarily used to begin a new case or select a different detective.
