How do I play rock paper scissors online with a friend?
Name your contest, enter your name, and choose a game variant. Share the invite link or contest code directly with your friend. They can enter the code on the home page. Once they join, you can both choose and lock in a move. Both moves are revealed after both players commit.
Do I need an account or an app?
No account or download is needed. Play in your browser with JavaScript enabled. Your seat is saved in that browser, so return using the same browser and keep its cookies to retain access.
Can my opponent see or change a locked move?
Your opponent cannot see your move until both players have locked in. A locked move cannot be changed. Settle it’s server holds the choices and applies the selected game’s rules.
What happens if we tie?
In most variants, choosing the same move is a tie and the creator can start another round. In Muk-jji-ppa, an opening match is replayed, but a match after the attack begins wins the game for the attacker.
How long does a contest link work?
A contest expires seven days after it is created. Share the link only with your intended opponent: the first other person to join claims the second seat. Clearing cookies or changing browsers loses access to your seat.
Which game variants can we play?
Choose classic Rock Paper Scissors, Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock, Bear Hunter Ninja, Elephant Human Ant, RPS-7 or Muk-jji-ppa. Each contest uses the variant selected by its creator.
Can I play alone against the computer?
Yes. Select The computer on the contest form and play any of the six variants. The computer locks a random move before you choose, every throw. When inviting a friend, you can opt into computer play if nobody joins within a minute; keep the waiting page open for the automatic switch. You can cancel the fallback or start computer play immediately from that page. Computer play takes the second seat, so create a new contest to invite a friend afterward.
