I played a variant of this which was quite fun for 3+ if a little more complicated...
An animal/mineral/vegetable is written on a card for every player but one who gets a blank card. For a couple of rounds you each draw a line before finally voting on who you think doesn't know what you're drawing. The main group is trying to demonstrate to everyone else that they know what the item is (and so drawings become very abstract) without making it obvious to the hidden traitor.
I think the introducer mentioned it was being commercialised...?
This game has been sold for a few years as "A fake artist goes to New York" (though it seems like the sort of thing that other companies could easily start selling too, so I'm not sure if that's the only one).

So it is! Thank you!
board game geek suggests there's at least one reimplementation: "Sunken Sailor"
