Turn your XenForo forum into a gaming hub with Rock Paper Scissors, a fully-featured multiplayer game add-on powered by DBTech Credits. Whether your members want a quick arcade match or a high-stakes 8-player tournament, this add-on delivers an engaging, bet-driven experience that keeps users coming back.
Features
Multiplayer Tournaments (2–8 Players)
Create competitive games with up to 8 players using an automatic elimination bracket system. Each game scales dynamically — 2 players for a quick duel, 3–4 players for a 2-round battle, or 5–8 players for a full 3-round tournament. Players join open games, lock in their hidden choice, and the bracket resolves automatically once all slots are filled. The final winner takes the entire credit pool.
Quick Match vs Computer
Jump into an instant arcade-style match against the computer — no waiting for opponents. Track your session stats including wins, losses, draws, current win streak, and best streak. Reset anytime and start fresh. Perfect for casual play or testing strategies before entering a real tournament.

It requires XenForo 2.3.0 or later and DragonByte Credits 5.6.0 or newer. Install DragonByte Credits first, because XenForo will not install Rock Paper Scissors until Credits is installed and active. When you upload the files, include the whole upload folder, including styles/DC/RPS, which holds the game images. You also need to connect it to a DBTech Credits currency column under Setup > Options > D.C Style - Rock Paper Scissors.

The tax is charged on top of each bet, not taken out of it. With a 100 bet and the default 2% tax, joining costs 102. In a game between members, the winner takes the prize pool, and a draw means the players pick again. Against the computer, a win pays the bet minus the tax, a loss costs the bet plus the tax, and a draw changes nothing.

Yes, Quick Match vs Computer is included. It tracks session stats including wins, losses, draws, current win streak and best streak, and players can reset anytime. It is a good way to try the game before joining a real tournament.

Give the Registered group the "Can play" permission under Groups & permissions > User group permissions > D.C Style - Rock Paper Scissors permissions. That permission lets members create and join games and shows the game's tab in your navigation. Members without it do not see the tab at all. The game itself lives at /rps on your forum, and there are also "Can delete own game" and "Can delete any game" permissions for cancelling games and moderation.
