Rock Paper Scissors Wheel: The Digital Referee for Everyday Disputes
Who does the dishes tonight? Who gets to ride shotgun? Who pays for pizza? These everyday disputes need a fair resolution, and while classic Rock Paper Scissors is great, sometimes people cheat. We've all seen those "late throwers" who wait to see what you picked first.
The Rock Paper Scissors Wheel is your incorruptible digital judge. Both throws happen simultaneously on the spinning wheels—making it impossible to cheat. No more arguments about who threw first or whether someone changed their hand at the last second. Pure fairness, guaranteed.
🥊 How to Play Rock Paper Scissors Online
Our online Roshambo wheel offers two exciting play modes:
1. Dual Player Mode (Fair Play for Two)
Perfect for settling disputes between friends, siblings, couples, or coworkers.
Setup: We've pre-loaded two wheels—Player 1 (Left) and Player 2 (Right). Each wheel contains Rock, Paper, and Scissors.
How to Play:
- Click "Spin All Wheels" to spin both simultaneously
- Watch as both wheels rotate and slow down
- See the results land at the same time—completely fair
- Determine the winner using classic rules:
- 🪨 Rock crushes ✂️ Scissors
- ✂️ Scissors cuts 📄 Paper
- 📄 Paper covers 🪨 Rock
- Same item = Tie (spin again!)
Example: Left wheel lands on 🪨 Rock, Right wheel lands on ✂️ Scissors. Player 1 Wins!
Pro Tip: Enable sound effects for dramatic build-up. The spinning sound adds tension and makes the reveal more exciting.
2. Solo Mode (Player vs. Computer)
Playing alone or want to test your luck against a machine? Use single-wheel mode.
How to Play:
- Decide your move in your head (e.g., "I choose Paper")
- Spin one wheel to see the computer's random throw
- Compare results:
- If it lands on Rock and you picked Paper → You win!
- If it lands on Scissors and you picked Paper → You lose!
- Same choice → Tie, spin again!
Challenge Mode: Keep track of wins/losses to see if you can beat the computer's pure randomness. Spoiler: you can't, but it's fun to try!
🧠 Is There a Strategy?
Short answer: No. And that's the point.
Unlike human opponents who have psychological patterns (studies show most people throw Rock on their first try), our wheel uses a cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG). Each throw is completely independent and unpredictable.
Human Patterns vs. Digital Randomness:
- Humans subconsciously favor Rock (~35% of the time)
- Humans rarely throw the same thing twice in a row
- Winners tend to repeat their winning throw
- Losers tend to switch to whatever would have beaten their opponent
Our wheel has ZERO patterns. Every spin is 33.33% Rock, 33.33% Paper, 33.33% Scissors. Pure luck.

Add these to your wheel for a more complex and hilarious game with fewer tie outcomes.
