== Fire and water ==

In the rock-paper-scissors-fire-water variant, what do the fire and water gestures look like? I've tried searching but this vital information is surprisingly hard to find.

== Squid Game: The Challenge ==

The winner of the Netflix series "Squid Game: The Challenge" was determined by playing rock, paper, scissors winning $4.56 million dollars.

== Quartz, Parchment, Shears ==

Someone added this as an alternate name for the game, but it's just a joke from Regular Show. Should be removed. [[User:Firelily|Firelily]] ([[User talk:Firelily|talk]]) 23:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

== Etymology section ordering ==

I found it confusing that the article refers to "Roshambo" early in the "Etymology" section before actually defining or explaining what that is. For readers unfamiliar with the term, this can be disorienting, especially since the explanation doesn't come until later under the "Names" section. It might be clearer either to briefly present "Roshambo" as an alternative name in the lead section, or to restructure the article so that "Names" comes before "Etymology".

Would others support tweaking the structure or wording to improve readability for those who don’t already know the term? [[User:PatternMatcher|PatternMatcher]] ([[User talk:PatternMatcher|talk]]) 00:31, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
