Centuries old โ€“ and still unbeatable

Rock Paper Scissors originated in China and Japan, where it was played as Sansukumi-ken (ไธ‰ใ™ใใฟๆ‹ณ) as early as the 17th century. It only became popular in Europe and America during the 20th century โ€“ today it is known worldwide.

World Championships

Since 2002 the World RPS Society has hosted annual world championships. Thousands of players from all over the world competed to be crowned the world's best Rock Paper Scissors player.

Psychology wins

Statistically, people choose Rock most often as their first move. Knowing this, playing Paper gives you a slight edge. Pro players deliberately exploit these psychological patterns.

AI vs. Human

AI systems beat humans at Rock Paper Scissors almost every time โ€“ not because they play more randomly, but because they detect and exploit patterns in human decision-making.
