Rock Paper Scissors

Rules

Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock — pick your move and the computer picks at the same time. Matching choices are a draw and don't count toward either score. It's built for quick, repeated rounds rather than a single decisive match, since any individual round is a 1-in-3 coin flip.

Frequently asked questions

Is my score saved?

No — the running tally is kept only in memory for this session. Refreshing the page or closing the tab resets it back to zero.

Is the computer's pick actually random?

Yes. Each round the computer picks rock, paper or scissors with equal (1-in-3) probability using the browser's random number generator — there's no pattern to exploit.

Can two people play against each other?

Not on this page — it's built for one player against the computer. For a two-player game, try Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four, which support local pass-and-play.
