Están jugando al Gran Bonete
I was looking for a match in English to the same situation.
There's a children game called "El Gran Bonete" that goes this way: a round of children each one identified by a colour and in the centre "el Gran Bonete" Gran Bonete - "Al Gran Bonete se le ha perdido un pajarito y dicen que el rojo lo tiene" (pointing to "red" or any other player) Rojo - ¿Yo, señor? Gran Bonete - Sí, señor. Rojo - ¡No, señor! Gran Bonete - ¿Pues entonces quién lo tiene? Rojo - ¡El verde! and it goes on. Any time a player replies to the wrong colour a fault is counted. Three faults and a penalty/challenge is awarded. Is there something equivalent in the Anglosphere. We use to say "están jugando al gran bonete" when you go office after office and every employee is blaming another employee or saying it's other person's responsability.
