Nothing draws a line like a claw machine. It’s nostalgic, it’s photogenic, and it hands every guest a physical thing to walk away with — which is why claw machines have become a staple of brand activations, retail openings, holiday parties, and trade show booths.

Ours go further than an arcade rental: because we’re a fabrication shop, we wrap and theme the machine itself. Custom vinyl wraps, branded marquees, and prize stock designed around your campaign turn a rented game into a full activation piece — set to free-play so every guest plays, or configured for skill play with tiered prizes. Pair it with our arcade game rentals or a photo booth for a complete engagement footprint.

Claw Machine Rental FAQs

What planners and brand teams ask before booking the claw. Anything else — send the form and we’ll answer within 24 business hours.

Most claw machine rentals run between $500 and $1,500 depending on rental length, prize package, and branding. A standard machine with free-play and basic prize stock sits at the low end; a fully wrapped, custom-stocked activation machine at the top. Delivery, setup, and breakdown are always included in one fixed quote.

Yes — this is what sets our rental apart. Our in-house fabrication team produces full vinyl wraps, branded marquees, and themed prize stock, so the machine matches your campaign instead of looking like a rented arcade piece.

Anything that fits the claw: plush, branded merchandise, capsule prizes, gift cards in prize pods, or custom items we source for your campaign. You can also supply your own — we’ll test-load it to make sure the claw handles it well.

Yes. Most events run free-play so guests just walk up and play. For fundraisers we can configure coin or token operation, and for skill-based promotions we can tune win rates and prize tiers.

Roughly 4×4 feet of floor space plus line room, and one standard 120V outlet. It fits through standard doorways and rides in a freight elevator — we handle the load-in logistics either way.

Optional, and recommended for high-traffic activations — the attendant manages the line, restocks prizes, and keeps the machine running all event. For smaller parties the machine happily runs itself.

Extremely well — a claw machine is a proven booth-traffic anchor. Add data capture before play and branded prizes after, and the machine becomes a lead engine, not just entertainment.

We deliver claw machine rentals throughout New York City, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, including Long Island and Greater Boston. Travel is built into your fixed quote.
