The free to play, Roshambo Live, has already taken the nation quietly by storm in it’s soft launch phase, with hundreds of winners and epic prizes. The live, knock-out rounds of Rock Paper Scissors take just five minutes to play, and over £48,000 in cash prizes has been won in just a few months. Now, determined not to let another lockdown bring doom and gloom to the nation, Roshambo Live is back to bring a bit of joy to players up and down the country!
Nationwide anyone can play against random opponents and attempt to survive to the final showdown for a chance to win the thrilling top cash prize.
Roshambo Live has been determined to bring players across the UK something explosive to quench their competitive thirst and spearhead the much-awaited comeback of family-friendly games, but with a huge twist. Since it burst onto screens in the Summer of 2020, hundreds of games have been played, the opportunities to win have been endless, and thousands of pounds worth of prizes were doled out. Players thrive off the adrenaline as they battle their way through head-to-head rounds, choosing their moves carefully and attempting to come out on top to make it in with a chance of winning the ultimate cash prize.
‘It’s been a strange year, but nothing makes us happier than putting a smile on some faces and getting as many people as possible involved in fun, family-friendly games. We couldn’t be more excited to be back bringing thrill and adrenaline to the mundane of lockdown, and offering huge cash prizes to the dozens of Roshambo Live winners every single week!’ says Nathan Moore, Co-Founder.
Whilst a gloomy Winter may have sent the nation searching for inspiration and joy, Roshambo Live has not only made it possible to connect with family from a safe distance, it’s also become the ultimate challenge between households. Play against your grandma, your best friend, even your work colleagues; with over £1,000 up for grabs across three games a week, everyone will be keeping one eye on the prize.
The app is completely free to download and play, with players nationwide putting skills to the test, daring friends and family to do better, and winning money in just five minutes! Playing couldn’t be more simple: each round, players have seven seconds to choose their move, attempting to beat out opponents. The more rounds conquered, the further players move, stacking up wins or using a sacred ‘Golden Life’ to stay in the running and be in with a chance of winning the ultimate prize.
‘Rock Paper Scissors is a well-known game globally, but combining it with live tournaments and cash prizes means it’s a win for everyone involved. You don’t need to be an expert gamer to become the ultimate champion in Roshambo Live!’ says Samuel Worsley, Co-Founder.
With over £1,00 to give away over three games a week, mobile gaming just got more exciting.
