Claw Machine Grab

Goal of the game

In Claw Machine Grab you play with your hand in front of the camera. A giant arcade claw hangs over a pile of plush pets riding a conveyor. Move your HAND left and right to slide the claw, then FIST to drop it. It grabs whatever is under it and carries it to the prize chute.

Golden pets score big — but grabbing a ticking bomb costs a life! Each round lasts 40 seconds; win 4 prizes per round to keep your lives safe. The claw collects power-ups too: Magnet claw, Slow-Mo and Double.

Tips and strategy

• Don't chase every pickup in Claw Machine Grab — grab only the ones on your safe path.
• Save your focus for the moment a Freeze or Slow-Mo starts — that is when Claw Machine Grab gives you free points.
• Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Claw Machine Grab far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
• Replay Claw Machine Grab a few times: each run teaches you the patterns, and scores usually double after the first five games.

Device requirements and privacy

Claw Machine Grab needs a device with a front or web camera (any recent Android phone, iPhone, laptop or Chromebook) and works best in Chrome, Edge or Safari. Allow camera access when asked; hand tracking runs entirely on your device with Google MediaPipe, and no video ever leaves it. It is free to play; free players may see a short ad between rounds (never during play), and Premium removes all ads.
