Bonus Round
In the bonus round, the winner was given the chance to catch Carmen Sandiego herself. If the contestant was successful, he/she won a trip to any location in the continental United States, expanded to anywhere in North America after the first season.*
After the contestant wrote down their desired trip destination, they received a phone call from the crook who was just arrested. The crook gave the general location of Carmen Sandiego, one of five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, or Asia) or the United States (used only in seasons 1 & 2 and then replaced by North America afterwards). The Chief then gave a list of fifteen possible locations either countries, capital cities, bodies of water, or national parks (all four used in Season 3 and beyond), on that continent (or states or state capital cities if the United States was used). Then the contestant was presented with a map that covers the floor of the studio, with dots marking the cities, squares marking national parks, and arrows marking bodies of water.
As host Lee read the locations, the player had to place a marker with a red flashing siren light on the correct location on the map. If the contestant placed the marker on the correct location, the light flashed, the siren went off and the player was given the next location. If he or she was wrong, the player is given one more chance to move the marker. After two incorrect guesses, another location was read.
If within 45 seconds (60 in the first few episodes when using an Asia map, this was dropped after the first season), the player could successfully identify 7 locations on the map (8 after the first season), the player caught Carmen Sandiego and won the trip and $500 spending cash. Otherwise, the player earns $10 for each correct location and a consolation prize. After the game, a newspaper headline graphic is shown:

My mom and I were talking about this show the other day. For some reason the theme song popped into my head and I was going around the house singing it. I loved that show.
