How 2-player online Rock Paper Scissors works

Choose an arena and a format on the friend page. RPS Classic is the standard game; Video uses your camera, with a manual fallback. Play a single round or best of 3, 5, 7 or 9.
Send the link. Copy it, share it, or let a friend in the same room scan the QR code. Only one opponent can claim it, and it expires after 30 minutes.
Keep this page open. When your friend accepts, you both move into the same match automatically.
Play. The WRPSA game server referees each round, so neither browser decides the result.

What a friend match is

Casual. A friend match never changes ranked ratings.
Private. The link shows no player profile, and only one opponent can claim it.
No account needed for a link. Challenging by username requires both players to be signed in.
Official rules. Every friend match uses WRPSA ruleset 1.0.
