The First Big Bang Theory Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock Real Life Tournament

It's one thing to have your paper beaten by scissors, or your scissors beaten by a rock; but what if you threw a lizard and a Spock in the mix as well?

Inspired by The Big Bang Theory, one of the most popular TV series in history, Presto is to hold the very FIRST -Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock' tournament in Melbourne at All Star Comics on Sunday 13 December 2015 from 11am.

-Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock' was created by internet pioneer and blogger, Sam Kass and made famous when Sheldon (Jim Parsons) introduced viewers to the unique twist on the game in Season 8 of The Big Bang Theory. The game was designed to create more winning variables than the traditional -Rock, Paper, Scissors', allowing players who know each other well to avoid landing on the same choices.

Presto is now giving fans of The Big Bang Theory the first opportunity to officially play the game in the Southern Hemisphere. In keeping with one of the favourite haunts of the show's characters, Presto will be hosting the tournaments at two of the most popular comic book stores in the country.

There's no need to register - just turn up on the days between 11am-4pm and get involved in the -best of five' winner-stays-on games, until the person with the most wins is announced at the end of each day and first-of-their-kind trophies presented.

Just like the show's characters, attendees are encouraged to come down in Cosplay, or even dress as their favourite The Big Bang Theory character, with prizes including free Presto subscriptions up for grabs.

These one-off events are taking place in celebration of Presto becoming the exclusive subscription-on-demand home to The Big Bang Theory, which is now available to stream on presto.com.au. Aussie fans of the show have unlimited access for just $14.99 per month, with the first month free for new users.

Dress code: Cosplay or dressing like characters from The Big Bang Theory is encouraged

Game rules: Winner stays on; each game is best of five. Scissors cut Paper, Paper covers Rock, Rock crushes Lizard, Lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes Scissors, Scissors decapitate Lizard, Lizard eats Paper, Paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporises Rock and Rock crushes Scissors.
