How to play Rock Paper Scissors
Beat your rival's throw more times — first to win 3 rounds takes the match.
Locking in a hidden pick against a live opponent turns a simple guess into a real mind game, especially with the match riding on it.
- Tap Rock, Paper, or Scissors before the timer runs out
- Your pick is locked in and hidden until your opponent also picks
💡 Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock — ties replay the round for free.
💡 Watch for patterns in repeated picks across rounds, since players under time pressure often default to the same throw more than they realize.
