What Is Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament?

Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament is a silly ice breaker game designed to help coworkers have fun and communicate better. The aim is to win a series of rock-paper-scissors matches and become the ultimate champion.

Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament Rules

  1. Pair up players for the first round.
  2. In each round, both players choose one of three shapes with their hand: rock, paper, or scissors. Rock crushes scissors. Scissors cut paper. And paper covers rock.
  3. The winner of each match moves on, and the loser is out.
  4. Keep matching winners in successive rounds until one player is left standing. The last one standing is the champion.
  5. If there’s a tie (both pick the same shape), redo the round until someone wins.
