Your Guide to Playing, Winning, and Enjoying Every Game!
How does it work?
-
Step 1: Buy tokens!
To start, you will need to buy tokens to play. Each machine costs around 3 to 8 tokens per round so keep that in mind when purchasing tokens!
-
Step 2: Play and have fun!
Each plushie is worth a certain amount of points. This means you can win whatever is easy for you instead of spending too many coins on one plush (points for plushies are stated on the machine)!
-
Step 3: Upgrade/Trade (optional)
You could always trade-in unwanted plushies that you win to upgrade to another prize at the front counter. Upgrading gives you more selections for cuter and nicer plushies, but this is all up to you and your preference!
Tips & Tricks
Double Tap!
Did you know you can press the button twice?
Once you’ve positioned the claw with the joystick, press the button once to lower the claw. Then, press it again to instantly close it! This “double-tap” technique lets you control exactly where the claw grabs, giving you a better chance at winning
Check the Difficulty Level
Each of our machines displays its difficulty level. Most are rated two stars, but some of the more challenging ones are marked with three stars. We also have swing machines designed for claw pros—but don’t hesitate to ask us for help; we’re happy to show you how they work!
Pro Tip: Smaller toys can be trickier to win! They require precise claw positioning and timing with the double-tap technique, as they’re more likely to slip out if you don’t grab the actual toy.
Ask for Help!
If you’re unsure how a machine works or need tips on grabbing the toy you want, feel free to ask one of our staff members! We’re happy to show you how to use the machines, guide you to the easiest toys to grab, and answer any questions. 😊
