Frequently asked questions

What are the rules of rock paper scissors?

Rock beats scissors because it crushes them, scissors beat paper because they cut it and paper beats rock because it covers it. If both pick the same move, it's a draw.

Does the computer cheat or see my move?

No. Its move comes at random from your browser's cryptographic generator and is chosen without looking at yours; each option has a one-in-three chance every round.

What does best of 3 mean?

The first to win 2 rounds takes the series; in best of 5, the first to 3. Draws don't count toward the series, the round is simply played again.

Is there a strategy to win?

Against a computer that picks at random, no move wins more than another in the long run. Against people, watching helps: many players repeat the move they just won with.
