Rock-Paper-Sumo is a gaming application for Facebook by Frima Studio; it is the first 100% Québécois-produced app for Facebook.[1][2] It was released in June 2010.[3]

It can be played both in English and French.

As is common to many Facebook app, you can send gifts to friends or invite them to play.

You lead your avatar, a sumo, to victory by answering challenges or by sending them. A challenge is a best-two-out-of-three rock-paper-scissors match. Matches which end in a draw or in your victory give you money and points. The points help you gain rank within the pyramid, or "ladder". The money can be used to buy clothes (avatar customisation is another common features among Facebook apps) or bento boxes.

The bento boxes are how you gain weight: instead of the more traditional levels, this is an original way to measure your progress within the game. Bento boxes also give energy, with which you can send challenges.

The Sumo and Japanese themes are more prominent in the other facets of the game:

The app also includes a system of achievements: use a certain move combination, or do a certain task, gain weight, etc.
