Featured review
Spin off that is harder to beat and harder to understand.
Lynne Thigpen is the only returning cast member from "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" as the Chief. The Only problem with this show is the limited set and no studio audience (or no visible one) but Because of the chronological tie breaker (To find out who the winner is) is by far the most difficult ever in a game show for kids especially for when it does for historical events in Chronological order (Which order from the most recent to the earliest (the loot is this one) but the difficulty doesn't end there The winner has to go through platforms answering questions about what they have learned on the program in a Minute, if they get it wrong they have to move the door open doing some physical lever pulley like thing (Time waster) If they win it (a couple of times a contestant has won but most lose)They get a set of encyclopedias or a computer with subscription to the Encyclopedia Britanica website. Rockapella doesn't appear but there is the engine crew (they lipsync and dance bad for a 1996 dance group) the song for this show is worse than the original which was far better. Contestants answer questions related to events and time periods where the crook has traveled to then they do process of elimination lowest score gets conselation prize second and first place do the chronological tie breaker and the winner goes off and does the platform ending halfway they capture the crook then capture carmen. Both crook and carmen are crude footage of actors who have bad lines and the quality is terrible. Chronoskimmer is the time travel devise the show set is to represent but the footage of the outside is not as good as I hoped it would be for computer technology. based on the game by broderbund and The Learning Company.
