It starts with the quote form. That's where we get a feel for your event and what you're picturing. You don't have to fill in every field, but the more you tell us up front, the sharper the quote that comes back.

Picture your prizes first. You can bring your own, or have us source plushies for you. Just flag that one early, since sourcing needs a bit more lead time. From there the machine nearly picks itself: it comes down to how big those prizes are and how big your crowd is. A big crowd you'd rather not refill all night points you to a roomier one. Prizes on the larger side rule the small machines out on their own.
Small plushies, capsule toys, keychains. Holds the least, so a big crowd means more refills.
Too small for jumbo plushies, boxed prizes, or rolled tees.
Mid-size plushies and capsules. The comfortable middle on both prize size and capacity.
Still too snug for rolled apparel or the jumbo plushies.
On its own the Mini sits chest-high. Pop it on the optional platform and it comes up to adult play height.
Jumbo plushies, rolled tees, boxed merch. Biggest claw and the most capacity, so it runs the longest between refills.
The only size that handles apparel and the bigger boxed prizes.
One call to make early: branded with your artwork, or kept clean and simple?
Going branded? Send us your logo, your colors, and any inspiration you've got. Our design team builds the artwork with you and sends it back for your sign-off before anything gets printed. Plan on a few weeks from first sketch to install.
Rather keep it simple? Nothing to do here. Our machines are clean white out of the gate, so they show up ready as-is.
A few things here are yours to call. We dial them in before the machine heads out.
Anyone walks up and plays, no tokens, no limit. Fair warning: the prizes go faster this way.
Token play puts you in control. You decide how many tokens go out, and the prizes last as long as you want them to.
You set how often the claw wins. Every grab a guaranteed win, or true arcade odds where it takes a few tries to land one. Your call.
By event day, every choice you made is already dialed into the machine. We deliver it to the door, level it, load your prizes, and walk you through the controls. If something acts up mid-event, call us and we'll sort it out on the spot. When the party's done, we come back and haul it away.
Quick answers on wraps, play settings, prizes, and timing. Don't see yours? Ask in the quote form and we'll cover it.
Yep. We can set every grab to win, a favorite for kids' parties. Tell us when you book and it's ready before the machine leaves us.
Only if you want them to. We run free play or tokens, and you can switch on the fly during the event. Free play is the simplest route, just know the prizes go faster.
Bring your own and we'll tell you exactly what fits each machine. Or hand it off to us and we'll source plushies to your theme. That route just needs a bit more lead time.
Plan on a few weeks from the first design chat to install, since our team builds the artwork with you. Skip the wrap and there's nothing to wait on, so we can move fast.
For sure. Plenty of events run more than one machine, and we offer discounts on multi-machine and multi-day bookings. Send an email to info@theclawbox.com with what you're picturing and we'll set up a quick call to talk it through.
Fill out the quote form to get the ball rolling. The more detail up front, the less back-and-forth later. Most go out in 1-2 business days. Bergen County, NJ and the NY metro.
