Description
Launch a competition in the form of a Rock, Paper, Scissors mechanic. Participants play against a robot in the famous game of Rock, Paper, Scissors (rock - leaf - scissors). Participants are then rewarded according to a draw system to elect the winners.
This game is very popular, enabling you to boost traffic on your various channels. You can personalise the game in your own colours, highlighting your world or the rewards via the scratch box and the win/lose images hidden behind the box.

Q&A
How are the Rock, Paper, Scissors winners chosen?
The winners of the Rock, Paper, Scissors are drawn at random, regardless of the score obtained in the Rock, Paper, Scissors. This is because the participant is playing against a robot, but the result obtained has no influence on the status of winner or loser.
How can I change my campaign once it has been activated?
You can, of course, modify your campaign at any time - just make the changes you want and confirm them using the ‘Confirm’ button at the bottom of the page.
