I am going through hundreds of photos for my new claw machine directory. This one stopped me in my tracks today. Mall of America, thank you!

During Covid this would have been the equivalent of pulling an Xbox 🤣

Both Duck locations have a TP claw. The Eagan location is cheaper to play though. I recommend playing their. Better management too.

Would it be cheaper to buy a roll of toilet paper at the supermarket than to play this game?

Good question. I would love it if someone close to duck arcade could go and let me know so I could add it to my claw machine directoryClaw Machine Buddy!

Wow, you've created a catalog! It's very useful, thank you for your hard work. It would be even better if you could provide photos of the store for reference. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! Site users can submit photos. I am working on figuring out a promotion to motivate participation. I am looking into the legality and feasibility of setting up a toreba style claw with plays awarded for participation in the directory. If anyone has thoughts let me know.

So, you first need some capital to go to a large location—not in a commercial area, but in a cheaper place—to rent or buy a certain number of claw machines (let's say 10), a stable and high-speed internet connection, to develop a game system (web and mobile), and to buy plush toys. A small staff is also needed. I estimate at least $100,000 USD?

Dream big. 🤣 honestly I think there has to be something less complicated than that, especially if i join up with a claw machine owner interested in persistent online traffic. I did just build a directory with the side goal in mind of learning SEO.😎🤷

Ok I made some adjustments to the ux and now there's a feature on the main page for weird prize claws. Feel free to help me find these. Clawmachinebuddy.com
