• “Free Play with a Follow”: Use the machine as a social media activation where participants get a free try if they follow the event’s social media account.
• The “Skill Challenge” Machine: Fill the machine with balls and designate one specific, oddly colored ball (e.g., a gold one) as the “Target Ball.” Players try to grab only that ball for bragging rights, rather than to keep it.
• “Claw Machine Hustle”: Host a fast-paced, timed competition to see how many balls a participant can move from the main pit to the prize chute in 60 seconds.
• Photo Opp Activity: Create an aesthetically pleasing machine filled with trendy colored balls (e.g., pastel or event-branded colors) simply for guests to play and take pictures/videos for social media.

• Discount Coupons: If this is for a brand pop-up, capsules can contain 10%–20% off coupons or a free service offer.
• Raffle Ticket/Number System: Each ball or capsule color,  corresponds to a prize table where they can win larger, non-toy items (like free coffee or promotional swag).
• Motivational Quotes/Fortune Cookies: Fill capsules with positive affirmations or fun “fortunes” tailored to the event.

• “Event Theming”: Use balls in the event’s brand colors (e.g., all black and white for a chic party) to create an interactive art piece rather than just a game. please note we do not have black and white balls and would need to be sourced out and would add addition costs as these balls tend to be costly
• Glow-in-the-Dark: Use plastic pit balls mixed with glow sticks or LED-lit balls to make the machine look spectacular in a dimly lit event space.

• Add Filler: If the balls are too light for the claw to grab, mix them with a few heavier, non-prize items like small, soft hacky sacks or plush mushrooms to help the claw grip.
• Designate “Winners”: Even without prizes, make it a “win” if the ball makes it into the chute, and have a staff member immediately return it to the pit to keep the game going.
