What is What Beats Rock Game?
What Beats Rock Game is a web puzzle game based on rock-paper-scissors that does not stop at three options. It opens with a rock and a text box: you enter anything you believe beats it, and each accepted answer becomes the next thing to beat, raising your score. A leaderboard ranks results, and signing in is optional. Below the main game is a catalogue of games made by the community, sorted into most liked, rising and newest, where players change the starting item and the question, for example ordering things from small to large or pitting fictional characters against each other. Many of these describe how an AI should respond, such as roasting the player. Anyone can create a new game. The site links to a Discord community and to its creators, and is operated by Based Apps and Games, LLC.
