About Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors is the ancient hand-game that everyone knows, in a clean browser version against an AI that actually thinks. Pick rock, paper or scissors. The computer picks at the same time. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock. First to a set number of wins takes the match.

What makes this version interesting is the AI. A random opponent is boring — you win half the time no matter what you do. This AI learns your patterns. Pick rock three times in a row and it will start playing paper. Switch suddenly to scissors and you might catch it once, but the next match it adjusts. The game becomes psychology, not luck.

This Rock Paper Scissors is free, browser-based and works on any device. There is no sign-up and no download. Your win rate over time is stored locally so you can see whether you are actually outsmarting the AI or just getting lucky. A full match takes about ninety seconds — the perfect length for a single quick break.

— Strategy & tips

How to win

Do not play patterns. Three rocks in a row will get punished.
Mix it up randomly — but truly randomly, not "what feels random". Most humans are bad at being random.
Watch your own losses. The throws that lost the last point are the throws the AI predicted.
Play to a longer match if you want skill to matter. Short matches are mostly noise.
When losing, switch your strategy completely rather than tweaking it. Tweaks the AI follows; complete switches it does not.
