Claw Machine Game

An arcade claw machine you can play as often as you like. Steer the claw over the prize pile, drop it, and carry what you catch to the chute to fill your prize shelf. Every try is free: there are no coins, tokens or purchases of any kind.

How to play Claw Machine Game

• Each round gives you 10 free tries and a pit full of prizes: bouncy balls, puzzle cubes, star plushes, heart pillows, gems, moon lamps, flower charms and ringed planets.
• Move the claw left and right above the pile. The dotted line shows where it will land. You have 20 seconds per try before it drops on its own.
• Press Drop. The claw lowers until it rests on the first prize under it, then closes.
• How well it holds depends on your aim. Centre the claw on a prize for a firm grip; catch it near the edge and it may slip out on the way up. Big prizes, and prizes with others piled on top, are harder to hold.
• If the claw keeps hold, it carries the prize to the chute on the left and drops it in. That prize is yours and goes on your prize shelf.
• Collect all eight kinds to complete the shelf, and watch for the rare golden edition. Prizes are just for fun: nothing is bought or sold.

Controls

• Touch or mouse: hold the ◀ ▶ buttons, or drag on the glass, to move the claw. Tap Drop to grab.
• Keyboard: Left/Right arrows (or A/D) move, Space, Enter or Down drops. P or Esc pauses.

Tips

• Go for prizes sitting on top of the pile. A prize with others resting on it is hard to pull free.
• Small prizes are easier to hold than large ones, even with a well-centred grab.
• A missed grab still moves things: the closing prongs push nearby prizes, which can free up a better target for the next try.
• Pick Strong grip for a relaxed round, or Weak grip if you want the real arcade challenge.

FAQ

How do you win at the claw machine game?

Line the claw up with the centre of a prize near the top of the pile, then drop. A centred grab holds; an off-centre one is likely to slip. Every prize that lands in the chute counts as a win.

Does this claw game cost anything?

No. Every round has 10 free tries and you can start a new round any time. There are no coins, tokens, ads for tries or purchases, and the prizes are cosmetic collectibles only.

Is the claw rigged?

No. The grip is decided by your aim and the prize itself (its size and whether something sits on it), not by a hidden payout rate. The same grab on the same pile always gives the same result.

What does the grip setting change?

Strong grip forgives off-centre grabs, Normal is balanced, and Weak grip needs a near-perfect line-up and lets large prizes slip more often.

Are my prizes saved?

Yes. Your prize shelf and the round in progress are saved in this browser, so you can come back and keep collecting.
