How Our Claw Machines Work (+ Tips for Playing)

Never played a claw machine before? Or maybe you’ve tried and walked away empty-handed? No worries — here’s a quick rundown of how Clawmii’s claw machines work, plus a few tips to help you play with more confidence.

🕹️ How It Works

Each machine is loaded with a curated mix of prizes — squishies, plushies, blind boxes, and more. You control the claw with a joystick, position it over your target, and press the button to drop. Simple, satisfying, and seriously fun.

🏆 Tips for Playing

  • Aim for the edge: Prizes near the edge of the pile can be easier to grab and lift out.
  • Go for lighter items: Squishies and small plushies tend to be easier for the claw to hold.
  • Watch before you play: Take a moment to see how the claw moves and where it tends to land.
  • Take your time: A well-aimed drop is usually better than a rushed one.

Keep in mind: claw machines involve an element of chance, so results will vary — that’s part of the fun!
