Since 2015 WRPSA has run rock paper scissors as a sport: a numbered rulebook, rankings from recorded results, and live events, from stages in Hungary to the weekly online Open.
Rock paper scissors is a two-player hand game built around three choices. You reveal together, compare the throws and play again. A round takes seconds; a match gives you time to notice how an opponent plays. Start with the game above, then choose where to go next.
Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. Matching throws are a tie. No choice beats both of the others, so there is no hand you can safely repeat forever. Agree on the count before playing face to face.
Read the official rulesWin two rounds to win a best-of-three match. A tied round gives neither player a point, so a match can take more than three throws. The scoreboard keeps the match score separate from the number of rounds played.
Learn how to playUse the three throw buttons to try a match without a camera or an account. Watch the result and score after each round. Play again to try a different approach, or open RPS Classic for the full match screen.
Open RPS ClassicThe friend screen lets you choose Classic or Video and set the match format. Create a private link to share yourself, or use the username option. These casual matches give you a place to play together away from the ranked ladder.
Challenge a friendAgainst a person, your own habits matter as much as theirs. Notice repeated choices and how you react to a loss, but do not treat a pattern as a promise. No throw guarantees a win against an unknown next move.
Explore RPS strategyWant an organized match rather than another practice round? Check the tournament schedule for the current events, start times and entry details. Read each event's requirements before registering; a practice win is not an event registration.
