Need something more straightforward, e.g., a wrapped one-liner:
>>> def guess(n=3): print ("You're right!", 'No more tries for you!!!')[n-1 in
... (x for x in xrange(n) for t in [raw_input('Guess my name: ')=='Ben']
... if not t or iter([]).next())]
...
>>> guess()
Guess my name: Jack
Guess my name: Bob
Guess my name: Ben
You're right!
>>> guess()
Guess my name: Jack
Guess my name: Ben
You're right!
>>> guess()
Guess my name: Kermit
Guess my name: Ms Piggy
Guess my name: Ernie
No more tries for you!!!
>>> guess(1)
Guess my name: Einstein
No more tries for you!!!
>>> guess()
Guess my name: Ben
You're right!
