A high-stakes twist on a childhood classic: Rock Paper Scissors meets physical combat.
In short: Tom Scott launches a new tournament series featuring six unique games of skill and logic. In this opening episode, contestants Steven Bridges and Emma Blackery compete in Rock Paper Scissors Hammer Helmet, a game where winning a round of the classic hand game earns you the right to strike your opponent before they can defend themselves.
The tournament follows a double-elimination format, requiring participants to lose twice or fall in the grand final to be eliminated. This series spans six episodes and six distinct games, involving a diverse group of competitors including a mathematician, a magician, a game designer, and a video gamer.
The game itself introduces a physical element to the traditional Rock Paper Scissors format. Once a player wins a round, they must attempt to hit their opponent on the head with a hammer, while the opponent must react quickly to protect themselves by donning a helmet.
