Interactive Game Rental
Prize Crane
The arcade claw machine, reimagined for your event. Guests test their skill for a prize you choose, inside a cabinet branded to your colors and logo. Part game, part takeaway, part standout visual moment.
What It Is
The Prize Crane is the claw machine everyone knows from the arcade, set up at your event and stocked with prizes you select. Guests line up, work the joystick, drop the claw, and try to grab their reward. The skill challenge and the suspense of the grab are what make it a magnet, and the fact that everyone walks away with a chance at something tangible keeps the line moving all night.
What makes it an event piece rather than just an arcade rental is the customization. The cabinet is fully brandable with your colors, logo, or event graphics, so it reads as part of the party design rather than a machine borrowed from a boardwalk. Stocked with the right prizes, it becomes a branded moment guests photograph and remember.
At mitzvahs you fill it with candy and small toys that tie to the theme. At corporate events and brand activations it doubles as a swag dispenser: load it with branded merchandise and the crane becomes the most engaging way to hand out giveaways you will ever run. Guests work for the prize, which makes them value it far more than a swag table ever could.
Where It Works
A natural fit wherever a takeaway prize adds to the experience. Leads with mitzvahs and corporate brand activations, then works across every celebration type.
How Long It Runs
The Prize Crane is available for cocktail hour, the full reception, or all-event. Each turn takes under a minute, so the line moves quickly and the machine stays busy as long as there are prizes to win. Most clients book it for the duration of the social portion of the event and we size the prize stock to the guest count so it lasts.
