Help me with this game ,please
 
We used to play a game in Egypt called "Arosty"... which is a guessing game..
 
It goes like this:
 
A person "could be an adult or a child",gives some information about "a place, buliding,person...etc." to his/her partner to guess the answer. Then, if the partner doesn �t know the answer he/she says "Arosty", to let the other partner give more information or description for him/her about the answer.
"Arosty" could be repeated many times until the answer becomes easy.
 
 I want you please give me an equivalent for the word "Arosty", if you have a similar game.
 
                            Many thanks in advance.

I don �t know if it �s the same game, but I know a game called "Teapot". 

According to the source: http://teachers.net/gazette/APR03/schandl.html "The Teapot game works like this: One student left the room and the class comes up with a word (noun) that is to be the secret word. Once the word is decided, the student is asked to return to the classroom and sit in a chair at the front of the room. Then each student has to say a sentence using the word "Teapot." in his/her sentence instead of the secret word. If the student cannot guess what the "Teapot." is, the students are encouraged to give easier clues as the game progresses, until a student guesses what "Teapot." is. The last student to give a sentence about "Teapot." before it is correctly guessed is the next one to leave the room until a new "teapot" is chosen.

Well I hope it helps ... :)
