Walking into this arcade made my inner child soar with excitement. It looked like a wonderland full of plush toys, snacks, ice creams, and many more. People were dragging their baskets full of prizes, so I thought to myself: Maybe today would finally be the day I win a prize from a claw machine.
This fun-filled utopia is Space Panda, located on Level 1 of Hero Market, Jalan Puteri Puchong. As soon as I walked up the escalator, it felt like I was on the set of a game show, surrounded by 100+ claw machines with a variety of prizes waiting to be won.
What sort of goodies can you expect to get your hands on? Your typical claw machine prizes, like adorable plush toys, as well as snacks and instant food for that dopamine hit.
Oddly enough, you can even find toiletries within these machines, such as toothpaste…?
You can expect to spend as low as RM3 per round, but high-value prizes can be found around the space, costing as high as RMX per attempt.
The allure of these claw machines lies in the fact that everyone is guaranteed to win, as long as you play long enough. So let me teach you step by step how to become a champion!
The champion’s cheat code
Step 1: Buy the Token
Head over to the token station to get your game on! One token equals RM1, and the claw machines vary in price, so buy as many as you need.
Step 2: Choose Your Items
Pick out the claw machine with the prize you want—maybe a cute teddy bear or some tasty snacks. Pro tip: Choose the machine with the highest number of attempts used up (as shown on the claw machine screen), as this will help you unlock unlimited attempts faster (thank me later!).
Step 3: Time to Flex Those Skills!
If you can win the prize before reaching the minimum number of attempts, you’re a certified legend! But if you can’t, don’t sweat it. Keep playing until you hit the minimum attempts required, and then you’ll unlock unlimited play!
In essence, unlimited attempts to get that prize you desire, free of charge.
Step 4: Play Until You Win!
Now for the best part: attain your guaranteed prize! No more tokens are required—just keep playing until you get what you want.
