World Rock Paper Scissors Day is observed worldwide every August 27, celebrating one of the oldest games accessible to everyone, regardless of gender, age, or language. The day honors the game of rock paper scissors, which originated in China and has historical roots dating back to the Han dynasty. It is a hand game played between two or more people, where players simultaneously form one of three shapes: rock, paper, or scissors, with specific outcomes determining the winner. Established by the World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) in 2014, the day encourages people to engage in the game for fun, to settle disputes, or even in professional contexts. Typical customs include playing rounds of the game, organizing tournaments, and sharing experiences on social media using the hashtag #WorldRockPaperScissorsDay.
