About this game

Rock paper scissors is the kind of game that looks trivially simple until you are playing it against someone who knows what they are doing. Play against the computer to warm up, or switch to vs Friend and share a room code to challenge someone online. The Best of 3 and Best of 5 formats turn quick rounds into a proper match.

Frequently asked questions

What beats what in rock paper scissors?

Rock crushes scissors. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Each choice beats exactly one option and loses to exactly one other. No move is inherently stronger than any other, which is the whole point of the game.

Is the computer beatable?

Yes. The computer picks moves randomly, with no pattern reading. Over many rounds, wins, draws, and losses should come out roughly even. If you want a real test, play against another person. Read the statistics on whether rock paper scissors is actually random →

How does online multiplayer work?

Switch to vs Friend. Share the room code or link that appears. Your friend opens the link and joins automatically. No account needed, no setup on their end.

What is Best of 3 or Best of 5?

Choose your format before the first round starts. Best of 3 goes until someone wins two rounds. Best of 5 requires three. Single round is the default if you just want one quick result.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no download, no cost. Works in your browser on any device.
