How it works

A claw machine filled with your items

A claw machine, also called a grabber or crane game, is something everyone knows from the funfair. You steer the claw over a prize, press the button and see if it holds on. Almost every attempt has someone watching, because nobody wants to miss that one moment.

We fill the machine with whatever you want to give away. At a trade show that might be branded merchandise, in a shopping centre gift vouchers from the shops or small cuddly toys for children. We agree together in advance how someone earns a go.

Where it goes

Four places where a claw machine works

At the trade show

On the stand, a claw machine is a reason to stop and stay. A go can be the start of a conversation, or the reward for someone who leaves their details.

In the shopping centre

On a Sunday shopping day or theme day, the machine stands on the square. Visitors earn a go with a purchase or a full stamp card, and the prizes come from the shops themselves.

At the company party

With colleagues it's all about who's the most skilful. Fill the machine with something people will really queue for, and the claw won't stop all evening.

At the children's party

For children, one attempt is exciting enough. With small prizes in the machine and a host who helps out, even the youngest get a turn.

Prizes and goes

What do you put in it and who gets to play?

What's in the machine decides who comes to watch. A bag with a logo attracts a different crowd than a gift voucher or a cuddly toy. We help you think about what suits your visitors and what the claw grips well. You supply the prizes, and we make sure they're placed well.

A machine that everyone can play without limits is empty in no time. That's why we decide in advance how someone earns a go: a conversation on the stand, a purchase, a completed card or a spin of the prize wheel. You can read how a go like this fits into a bigger plan for the stand on trade show activation.

Arrange beforehand

Power, a fixed spot and room to watch

A claw machine needs power and a flat, fixed spot. We agree with you in advance exactly how much space and what kind of connection is needed. Put it where people walk past and where onlookers can stand without blocking the flow.

In a shopping centre, the machine fits well into a series of theme days. We're based in Enschede and work throughout the Netherlands.

The price depends on the number of days, the location and how long a host is present. You'll receive it within 1 working day after a short enquiry.

Frequently asked questions

What do we need to arrange ourselves?

A flat spot with power nearby and the prizes to fill the machine with. We take care of delivery, setup, filling and collection. We agree with you in advance exactly what space and connection are needed.

Can we put our own branded merchandise in the claw machine?

Yes, that's what it's for. The items do have to fit in the claw and mustn't be too heavy. Let us know in advance what you want to use, and we'll tell you whether it works or how to package it better.

Is a claw machine suitable for children?

Yes. Children can operate it themselves, the youngest with a bit of help from the host. In that case, choose prizes that suit their age and are safe for young children.

Is there someone with the machine?

Yes. One of our team is there to explain how it works, refill the machine and keep track of who's already had a go. We agree in advance how long the host stays.

How much does it cost to hire a claw machine?

The price depends on the number of days, the venue and how long a host is there. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
