North American retail company Showcase spotlights the 'Candy Claw Machine,' a fun interactive game that can be enjoyed by candy lovers of all ages.
Designed like any claw machine found in a theme park or arcade, the Candy Claw Machine features a clear tank that can be filled with candy or another small item of the user's choice, which players must try to pick up with the large claw device and move into the shoot before their time runs out. The machine comes with a set of fake coins that can be used to activate the game, with each coin giving users a different time limit to win their prize.
Priced at just $60, the machine works with batteries and requires minimal setup.
