bonus rounds

Game show finales

Bonus rounds are extra stages in games that offer additional rewards beyond normal play.

In video games and game shows, they typically follow successful completion of regular content: If you clear the level without dying, you unlock the bonus round.

The term extends to any supplementary opportunity for gain: The Q&A session was like a bonus round for networking.
