Rock Paper Shoot
Rock… Paper… Scissors… SHOOT! — with your real hand.
Rock Paper Shoot is a free rock-paper-scissors game you play with your actual hand. Your webcam reads your fingers in real time, so a fist is rock, a flat hand is paper and a V is scissors — no buttons, no controller. Pump your fist along to "Rock… Paper… Scissors…", throw on SHOOT, and a cartoon opponent with a giant glove throws right back, celebrating or sulking with every round.
Pick Classic Duel for a best-of-five against the glove, Reflex Mode to obey rapid-fire commands like BEAT IT, LOSE TO IT and TIE IT before the timer runs out, or share a code and duel a friend online. Flip on Lizard-Spock for the five-gesture version — the sock-puppet lizard and the Vulcan salute both read from your real hand.
How Rock Paper Shoot works
On-device hand tracking finds 21 points on your hand — the wrist, every knuckle and every fingertip — and the game measures which fingers are straight and which are curled, so it works whichever way your hand is turned. Nothing is uploaded and the camera feed never leaves your browser. A small camera window shows the skeleton it sees and the throw it reads, with a confidence ring, so you know exactly what you will throw before SHOOT.
The beat is fixed: one word every 0.6 seconds, and the throw locks a quarter of a second after SHOOT. The opponent reveals at SHOOT — and if you switch your hand after seeing it, the game calls it: "Too slow!"
Three ways to play
Classic Duel is best of five against an AI that watches your hand — show your shape too early and it counters, fall into a habit and it notices, so bluffing pays. Reflex Mode flips it around: the glove throws first and a command flashes — beat it, lose to it or tie it — and the answer window shrinks from 0.9 seconds with every correct answer until one slip too many ends the run. Your best Reflex score goes on the leaderboard. Online duels use the classic rules: both players count in on the same synchronized beat, lock their throws, and see both hands revealed together.
Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock
Switch to Lizard-Spock for five gestures: scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock and rock crushes scissors. Make the lizard like a sock puppet — fingers together, thumb under the fingertips — and Spock with the Vulcan salute.
