Crossword Genius

Lead everyone around in game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinball

'game' is the definition.
(pinball is a kind of game)

'lead everyone around in' is the wordplay.
'lead' becomes 'pb' ('Pb' can be a synonym of 'lead'**).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pb'+'all'='pball'
'pball' placed around 'in' is 'PINBALL'.

(Other definitions for pinball that I've seen before include "It may require tilting when played" , "Slot-machine game" , "Slot machine bagatelle" , "Arcade game where a metal sphere negotiates hazards" , "Game involving an enclosed table, played by operating flippers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
