Play the classic game

Rock Paper Scissors is the universal quick game and instant decision-settler, understood in playgrounds and boardrooms alike, and this version lets you play it against the computer complete with live score tracking and win-streak counting. You simply choose your move, rock, paper or scissors, and immediately see who won that round, playing on for as many rounds as you like while it keeps the running tally.

Why it is a fair game

Rock Paper Scissors is a genuinely fair game because each of the three moves beats exactly one of the other two and loses to exactly one other, forming a perfect closed cycle in which, with random play, no single move holds any advantage over the others. When you play against the computer here, which chooses its move purely at random, your results over the long run should naturally hover somewhere around even, and the real fun lies in the streaks and the accumulating score. Between two humans the game becomes genuinely strategic, because people are notoriously bad at being truly random and skilled players learn to read patterns, but against a random opponent it remains pure chance.

Does it track my score?
