Where a claw machine steals the show.
In Sydney the claw machine works everywhere people gather: backyard birthdays in the Inner West, harbourside office parties in the CBD, rooftop bucks and hens nights, and school fetes from Parramatta to the Shire.
For brands it's a proven crowd-puller, Pitt Street retail activations, Barangaroo product launches, ICC expo stands and Westfield centre-court campaigns all use a wrapped claw to stop foot traffic and put product straight into people's hands. See brand activations for how it works.
Wrap it in your brand.
Every machine in our fleet can be fully wrapped in your branding, and unlike most hire companies who outsource it, we design and print in-house. That means faster turnarounds, sharper finishes and full control over the look.
For activations, a custom-wrapped claw loaded with your products or merch turns idle foot traffic into hands-on engagement and a wall of photos. Custom wraps are quoted with your booking.

Frequently asked questions.
We run three claw machines: a compact mini, a full-size standard and a premium model. Every quote is tailored to your date, venue and hire length. Delivery is quoted based on location and access, and a refundable security bond applies.
Yes. Add one of our prize packs (quoted with your hire) or load the machine with your own lollies, small toys, vouchers or branded merch. It's a popular way to tie the machine into a party theme or brand activation.
The mini is compact and light (great for tight venues and kids' parties), the standard is the classic full-size cabinet, and the premium adds striking LED lighting and a photo-worthy finish for centrepiece moments.
The mini needs barely a square metre. The standard and premium are about 0.8 m wide, 0.9 m deep and 1.9 m tall. Let us know your venue access when you book.
Yes, with in-house printing and designers we can wrap the cabinet for your event, theme or company. Custom wraps are quoted with your booking.
We recommend locking in a couple of weeks ahead for weekend and peak-season dates, but we regularly handle last-minute bookings, so it's always worth asking. We operate seven days a week, including public holidays.
All of metro Sydney: the CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Parramatta and Greater Western Sydney, and the Sutherland Shire. Wollongong and the Central Coast are often possible too, ask when you enquire.
Usually yes. The standard and premium claws need a lift or ground-level access (they are about 1.9 m tall), while the mini fits almost anywhere, it is the go-to for apartment parties and rooftop venues. Tell us about lifts, stairs and door widths when you book and we will confirm on the spot.
Just access to a standard powerpoint. We position it, plug it in and have it running on free play before your event starts.
Absolutely. Plenty of events pair the claw with our basketball, boxing or dart machines, bundle all four machine types and save.
Yes. Skill tester, crane machine, prize machine and claw machine are all names for the same arcade game. If you have seen a skill tester at a shopping centre or arcade, that is exactly what we deliver, set up and run at your event, stocked with prizes.
Pair it with the rest of the fleet.
