The Claw

A real claw machine varies its grip between drops so the prize slips on the way up, and the player reads it as bad luck. This one does not. The grip is constant, it never lets go, and whether you catch is decided by one thing: how close the claw sits to the prize when it closes. The bar under each prize shows exactly how much room you have. Wide prizes forgive a sloppy stop and pay the least.

How to play

  1. Hold the arrows to slide the claw along its rail, and let go to stop it.
  2. Line the claw up over a prize, watching the bar that shows its catch width.
  3. Drop. Ten drops a round, and the pile is laid out from a seed shown before you start.
