Three ways to play Rock Paper Scissors

The most approachable way into RPS World: arrive as your character, explore persistent places and join simple school, club and community events that can keep returning to the same venue. A Zoom-or-Teams-like place built for Rock Paper Scissors. Run pure online events, conference activations or connect remote players into a hybrid event. Pair two participant devices in the same place. Use phone orientation or let each device propose its participant’s throw from the camera; every camera proposal must be confirmed or corrected before it counts.
