I have never heard of such game in France either. One thing I've noticed 
about foreign cultural references is that those related to children's games 
(and generally children's cultures) are usually the hardest to figure out, 
even for people familiar to the mainstream culture. It's quite easy to 
figure out references about grown-up activities, but children's cultures 
remain largely undocumented and quite puzzling for non-native people when 
they're mentioned in popular media.
