What party game involves a shifting shortage of seats?

The party game you are thinking of is Musical Chairs. In this classic game, chairs are arranged in a circle with one fewer chair than the number of players. As music plays, everyone walks around the circle. When the music abruptly stops, all players must scramble to find a seat. The person left standing is eliminated, and another chair is removed for the next round, maintaining that shortage of seat.
