How this works

Your date, the city you're in, and what kind of event it is. A sentence or two is plenty to get started.

02

We find you a match

We line up a local claw machine operator who covers your area and is free on your date — no calling around required.

03

You get a quote

They reach out with pricing and availability, and you take it from there. It's free, with no obligation to book.

What people rent them for

Most requests we see fall into one of these. If yours doesn't, that's fine — just say so in the note.

Birthday parties

The reliable crowd-pleaser. Plush or candy machines that keep kids (and, honestly, adults) busy for hours.

Office & company events

Holiday parties, launches, offsites. Some operators will stock the machine with your own swag if you ask.

Weddings & receptions

A quiet favorite for cocktail hour — an easy photo moment that doesn't need a coordinator to run it.

Schools & fundraisers

Carnivals, spirit nights, PTA events. There are budget-friendly options that work great for these.

Questions we get a lot

What does it actually cost?

Most day rentals land between $159 and $450 depending on the machine size, what it's stocked with, and how long you need it. You'll get a real number once an operator has your event details.

Do they deliver and set it up?

Almost always, within the metro area. Fees depend on how far they're hauling it and how big the machine is — a giant unit is a different job than a tabletop one.

What comes with a rental?

Usually the machine, a starting batch of prizes (plush, candy, or small toys), plus delivery, setup, and pickup. For multi-day events, some will come back and restock.

How far ahead should I leave my details?

Two or three weeks is comfortable. Weekends in spring and all of December get tight, so if your date is fixed, it's worth getting your request in early.

Do you rent the machines yourselves?

No — we connect you with vetted local operators and let them handle the rental. You book and pay them directly, and it never costs you anything to leave your details with us.
