What Makes Prize Claw Stand Out
Welcome to Prize Claw, from the makers of the smash-hit free casual game Coin Dozer!
For years, you've been going to the arcade, carnival, or theme park, trading cash for the chance to grab toys and candy with a motorized claw. Claw games are filled with tense moments of maneuvering the crane into place, wondering if you’re lucky enough to get that toy, coupled with the triumph of your prize dropping through the slot! Prize Claw recreates that happy experience for women and men of all ages – no trip to the casino to play the slots needed – on your iPhone while adding many exciting new features!
Step up to the machine and maneuver the claw to grab coins, gems, a stuffed animal, cars, dolls, and much more! This game is much more than the standard grabbing you get from arcade crane machines, however: Prize Claw is filled with all sorts of unique items, powerful effects and challenging missions. Special gems grant an effect to enhance your collection power, and you can trade the prizes you collect for extra special bonuses. Prizes aren't the only thing you can trade in: the coins you collect can be spent to upgrade your claw, activate new powers, and even customize your machine! If you run out of grabs, don't fret! It won't take long before you receive more. Keep checking back to complete your collection, increase your skill with the grabber, reach a higher level, and unlock more stuff!
Features:
• More than 60 prizes to collect – toy cars, a stuffed mouse, and much more!
• Multiple machines to play on with different prizes, powers and looks!
• A special puzzle to complete for each machine!
• New 3D graphics with customizable machines, claws, and joysticks!
• Simple to play, but with tons of challenging missions to earn a bonus prize!
• Earn extra bonuses for playing every day!
• Huge variety of bonuses and effects!
Stay tuned for future updates!

Community Insight:
This game is our childhood and is crazy it still alive.
Love this game. We even watch the advertisements.
This game is a lot of fun & it brings us back to our childhood when we were in the arcades playing these games. We find ourselves playing this for hours without even realizing it cause its just a really fun game to play. We highly recommend downloading this. You wont be disappointed if you love the claw game.
Ive played a lot of these Prize Claw games/apps, and this one is the best by far best graphics, most clear graphics and the machine set up like a real ones do it to be other games have had string set up on them but this song is the best there is.
This game is amazing. We love this. Its very fun and its free and everybody will love this if you just give it a try tell everybody you know if you like it and tell everybody you know please its an amazing game us and our little cousin love this game and we would love if you download this game its not our game but we love this game, we have played it for about an hour now and we love it so much please download it and if you download it, we will be so happy. Write a review if you like it and you will look at all the good reviews.
This is one of the first games we played on our kids iPods our first tablet and years later the game is the same and thats why lm still playing please dont change a thing it was perfect than and still is now. THANK YOU.
Fun game, but the better claws you buy, the crappier they preform, and unfortunately it transfers to the other claws as well. Saved up for a really strong claw. It drops all the time. Now our weaker ones drop the same now.
We finally remembered that nostalgia app and Ive played this before but its still so fun and unfortunately we have a problem with the save the game data level45 and when we offline it rolls back to level 44 it seems like autosave wasnt working properly plus it was a error code.
One of the first places to go to double coins is to watch a video then spin wheel. This NEVER works. Allwys says mot available now.
Ive actually played this game when it first came out we were probably 12, now being 21 im invested in playing when we're bored or sad w our free time.
Ive been playing this game since we were 13, Im 23 now and we still love it.
Such a classic,this game was way ahead of its time, great mechanics and just a simple fun mobile game, love it.
From many years ago we did this game and till today we're always loving this cute game.
Game is fun! Playing it brings back memories when we payed it years ago. We wish there was more expansion of the gems & what the bonus do.
We found this game back when we got our first iPod Touch. We brought it over to every new device. Its the most fun, most frustrating, most realistic virtual claw game of the many Ive tried. Its always our go-to guilty pleasure.
Very fun Game to play when we are bored.
We love this game and Im 44 but we wish they will be harder challenges sometimes different.
Helps with our claw addiction when we cant get to the real thing. Such a fun game. Love it.
Lots of fun b nice if u won real money.
Brings back memories of when life was easy as a kid.
Its very addicting, brings us back to those days down the shore.
Great game once you get better at judging how to line up the claw with the prize you are after. We like the different changes, bonuses, games, etc.
Ive been playing this for a few years now. We love it! It would be nice if they were to add more items to collect so we can get more rewards.
do you win real prizes we are going for the diamonds in the candy also we love your game relaxing and Im having fun thank you.
Ive had this game on various os for quite a number of years. We love this game.
Ive been playing this game on our devices for well over 10 years. Absolutely love it. If you download it we guarantee you wont be disappointed!! This is the 100% best prize claw app in the App Store!! A++.
Ive played this game for about 5 years now and it really is the best prize claw because it just such a calm game and Ive played this since we were young but we still play it now because it is nice to just not play a intense game for once. Just get this game if you love prize claws.
We played this game before and we love it.
This game is awesome for us mentally!!! When we played this game, we forget our stress from work and household affairs!!!! Very peaceful game doesnt have any violent images like many other games.
Ok, so we downloaded a game called Clawee, and we HATE IT. So as responsible as a third grader because we are one, Im here to tell you how this gets us through quarantine! Ok so we really really wanted to play claw machines again. We have been extremely good at them, and love the concept. Of course, there are ups and downs, but they are really fun once you learn a trick. When we downloaded Clawee, we expected for it to be good. And we guessed wrong. So, as it is common sense, we deleted it. And of course, we came back. When we found prize claw, we were amazed and downloaded it. Ever sense, we have played it, and quarantine gets easier.
Love this game! So far we never run out of plays, its been endless fun collecting the quest and things. If you run out of plays just watch videos for free plays no biggie.
Try the this game and you regret it.
Absolutely astonishing, 10/10 epic win.
We enjoy playing the game and its all for free. If you want you can purchase extra stuff, but thats a choice other then that everything else is free.
Dude we found this game right after our cousin asked us if she wanted to play a claw game on her iPad this game is our childhood.
Such a fun game. We feel like a kid again playing at an arcade.
We really enjoy playing this game and challenging ourselves to compete each new level! Give it a try, you wont be sorry.
So Far, So Fun!!! We just wish some of those prizes were real! It makes us excited to win, and sad to not get them.
Im 20 years ago and we really love this game. Im not childish. It just makes fun fly be.
Fun to play when you have time to kill.
Ive always end up downloading this game each time we get a new iPhone.
We love this game!! We can barely put it down . Its 12:30am, and we just cant quit playing !! Our husband has already asked us if we were coming to bed sometime tonight, and after the 3rd try we guess hes gone to sleep.
Like it!! Just wish getting grabs was easier.
Im enjoying the his fun little game and like that its simple, no levels, no character that dies, just grab and get the prizes. The only reason we didnt give it a 5 star rating was the first screen when you open the game, you are supposed to have the opportunity to get double grabs for watching an ad. But when we select it, nothin happens. We finally give up and just press play with original number and it works without a hitch. Its still a great little game.
This game is fun but how do you sign in with Facebook so our phone and iPad are on same level.
This game was what got us through our childhood, it was one of many games that we loved, and we still do right now. The only problem is that the amount of time to get 1 claw grab takes sooo long. Pls fix this.
We are not at a level to unlock zoo things, however, that is our task. We cant move on because its impossible to complete the task.
We like the game it passes the time.
We really enjoy this game and exciting to gather enough coins to upgrade your claw. However, irritating to buy one of the best claws and still dropping things two and three times. Always seems to happen when we have a lot of grabs. They just want you to waste your grabs.
Theres a few analogies with coin counting on the mission. Like, Ill get a 10 coin but it will count up 14 on the mission. We ok with that of course, we just dont get why its off. We dislike the puzzles; they seem pointless. The space machine has too many similar categories, like aliens and visitors. But we do like playing this. Those are our only criticisms.
