Frequently Asked Questions
What are the rules?
Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. Matching choices result in a draw and the round is replayed.
Can I play more than one round?
Yes, switch to Best of 3 or Best of 5 above the game to play a short match instead of a single round.
Is the computer's choice random?
Yes, the computer picks rock, paper, or scissors at random for every round, with no pattern to exploit.
Is there a strategy to win more often?
Against a random computer opponent, no choice has a statistical edge over another. Strategy tricks that work on human opponents, like reading their body language or exploiting their habits, don't apply here since the computer's pick isn't influenced by anything you do.
How do I start a new match?
Press Reset Match to clear the score and begin again at your selected match length.
