🧠 Why this game:

According to the World Rock Paper Scissors Association, the idea is metaphorical: “paper covers a rock”—not by smashing it, but by obscuring it. That makes the rock effectively useless.

🤖 But… What About What Beats Rock?

A fresh take on the concept is the “What Beats Rock” game, which uses an AI (LLM) to let you guess anything that could logically beat rock—not just paper.

You type in any idea or object, and the AI judges if it plausibly beats rock. For instance, someone might enter “nuclear blast” or “time” and see if it holds up. The game runs until you lose, with scores and global leaderboards.
