Rock paper scissors
Two players, one phone. Each picks in secret, then both throws are revealed together.

Player 1, choose in secret
How to play
Player 1 picks rock, paper or scissors while Player 2 looks away. Pass the phone, and Player 2 picks. Both throws appear at once: rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. A tie means throw again. The winner goes first, or play best of three.
Choices are hidden until both are in, so nobody can react to the other’s throw the way they sometimes can with hands.
Need a draw that doesn’t depend on strategy? The first-player picker gives every player an equal chance.
