Rock Paper Scissors

By founding the World Rock Paper Scissors Society, Graham and Douglas Walker hoped to promote Rock Paper Scissors as a fun and safe way to resolve disputes as well as a competitive sport.

It is an intimate look at some fascinating people who have devoted themselves to this game and turned it into a world of their own. As we navigate our way through outrageous characters, hilarious strategies, fascinating arguments and heated competition, one thing becomes absolutely clear: RPS is much more than a game, it is a lifestyle. Take a good sense of humor and a rock & roll attitude, combine it with the suspence of your favorite sporting eventand put it all on top of a surprisingly intelligent foundation - and you have "Rock Paper Scissors."
