Any excuse for a good time.
Where a claw machine steals the show.
A claw machine earns its spot at almost any event. It's a fixture at kids' and adult birthday parties, a guaranteed queue at school fetes and fundraisers, and a cheeky centrepiece for bucks and hens nights.
For brands it's a magnet. Retail and shopping-centre activations, product launches, expos and corporate functions all use a claw to pull a crowd and put product, vouchers or branded merch straight into people's hands. Weddings and engagements love a premium claw as a grab-a-favour moment, and it's a reliable winner at Christmas parties and end-of-year staff events.
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.
