Royal arcade elimination

RPS Royale

Bring your friends, classmates, or team. Everyone plays Rock-Paper-Scissors head to head until one player is left standing.

Play it with friends, a classroom, a team call, or a stream chat.

  1. Join a room. Play with a guest name or a saved account.
  2. Win your match. The server resolves every choice and timer.
  3. Claim the series. Winners grow and return for the next round.

Enter a room

Start a game in your browser. Create a room and share its four-character code or invite link; guests only need a display name, with no download or sign-up.

How a game plays out A room of players is paired off. Everyone picks Rock, Paper, or Scissors, the server reveals every choice at once, the winner of each pair advances, and the rounds repeat until one player is left standing.

How a series works

Win matches. Return for the next round. Claim the series.

  1. MatchTwo alive players make their choices. One advances and one watches.
  2. Series roundOne survivor wins the round, then every admitted player returns for the next one.
  3. Final championAfter the configured rounds finish, the server selects the champion.

A creator chooses the room minimum, capacity, and series length within server limits. The creator alone can start an open room, and only after it reaches its configured minimum number of players. The server pairs alive players until one player wins each series round. Wins carry forward between rounds.

The matchup

The server runs every decision.

The game server owns choices, timers, pairings, results, and recovery. A browser or room creator cannot control the outcome or stop a room by disconnecting.

Rock, paper, scissorsRock beats scissors. Scissors beats paper. Paper beats rock.
  • Rock beats scissors
  • Scissors beats paper
  • Paper beats rock

If a player misses a choice, the server supplies a random choice so the matchup can continue. A tie starts a short mash challenge; the authoritative accepted count decides who advances.

Grow and watch

A win grows your wins. A loss opens the spectator view.

Each match winner gains one win. The losing player watches the rest of that series round, then returns when the next configured round begins.

Every match win adds one winThis is an example progression, not a live result.
  1. Start
  2. Win
  3. Win again

Spectate

Follow public match state while you wait.

Spectators can watch public match progress. During finalist windows, they may wager virtual points on a finalist. Wagers never affect outcomes and have no real-money value.

Guest play is always available. Your browser session lets you reconnect to an active room after a temporary connection loss.
