How to play Rock Paper Scissors
- Each round, both players secretly pick Rock, Paper or Scissors.
- Rock crushes Scissors, Scissors cut Paper, and Paper covers Rock. The same pick is a tie.
- The picks are revealed together once you have both chosen.
- The first to win three rounds wins the game.
How to play with a friend
- Tap “Play with a friend” above. RoomDrift opens a Rock Paper Scissors game and gives you a six-character code.
- Send the code or the invite link to your friend — any messaging app works.
- Play. The game starts the moment they join, with a chat beside the board.
Tips to win
- People rarely repeat three times. After two of the same, a third is less likely.
- Winners tend to stay, losers tend to switch. Many players repeat a pick that just won and change one that just lost.
- Rock is the most common opener. That makes Paper a reasonable first pick — until your opponent expects it.
Questions
Can the other player see my pick before choosing?
No. Your pick stays on the server and is never sent to the other player until you have both chosen — they only learn that you have locked in.
How do I play Rock Paper Scissors with a friend online?

How many rounds is a game?
A game is first to three round wins. Ties don't count, so a game can run longer than five rounds.
