ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kalehjoosh

Kalehjoosh is a game that people in Iran like to play. It's like a version of hide-and-seek, where one person is "it" and they have to find the other players who are hiding.

But, in kalehjoosh, there are different roles for the players. There is the "king" who is the one who is "it" and has to find the other players. But there are also "queens" who can help the king find the players. And then there are the regular players who are trying to hide from the king and queens.

The game is played in a big area where there are a lot of places to hide, like behind trees or bushes, or even in buildings. The "king" has to search for the other players and try to find them before they make it back to the "home base" without getting caught.

The game requires a lot of strategy and teamwork, because the "queens" can help the king by giving them hints or clues about where the players might be hiding. And the regular players have to work together to stay hidden and distract the king when they can.

Overall, it's a fun game that lots of kids and adults in Iran enjoy playing together!
