Bonus Round: Difference between revisions

* The "Golden Medley" on ''[[Name That Tune]]''

* "Face the Devil" on ''[[The Joker's Wild]]''.

* The "(Big Money) Bonus Round" on ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]''.

** The German version, ''Glücksrad'', had an interesting pre-bonus round. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c8HJS2svLI#t=900 Super-spiel] was a 4-5 word crossword puzzle using the board that all three players played as a team. Each player picks two letters, and then they have 90 seconds (each player as captain for 30) to solve the puzzle. If they cleared the wall in time, they all got a share of a rolling jackpot (which in some cases was worth ''more'' than the actual Bonus Round win). Then the normal Bonus Round's played like usual.

** It could be convincingly argued that the Showcase is actually a competitive apex that the first 40 minutes of show has been building toward, like a price-guessing Super Bowl, but it does fit on this list by virtue of being a chance for people who've already won to win even more.

* The "Winners' Circle" on ''The $10,000 [[Pyramid]]'' (and its subsequent versions)

* The "Room-to-Room Romp" on ''[[Finders Keepers (TV series)|Finders Keepers]]''

* The "Bonus Sweep" on ''[[Supermarket Sweep]]''

* The Audience Match on the original [[Match Game]] and the Super Match on versions up to the 1998 show.

* The bonus board on the original ''You Don't Say!'' had three clues to a name for a cash prize. If a contestant won a game by a 3-0 score, the prize for getting the name on the first clue was a new car. On the 1975 revival, there was no board; the contestant gave clues to the celebrities. If a contestant could get the celebrity chosen to get four names in five clues, it was worth $5000. Getting five names in five clues doubled it.

* "Turnabout" on ''Child's Play''. That's where the contestant gives the kids definitions and the kids guess the words.

** "Triple Play," which came first, featured the contestant guessing a word based on three different definitions from children.
