Gamer reveals simple hack to win prize on arcade claw machine every time: ‘Legit’

So why do people snarl at this marauding Gruffalo, or, even worse, grab the coveted toy only to drop it in front of the exit hole?

The TikTokker, who posts under the handle @jiuziauyo30, explains that this inevitable confusion is because the arcade game is equipped with “sensitivity levels from one to five, with five being the tightest grip and one being the loosest.”

“Every time you start the car, it randomly selects a level,” they explain. “But the odds of getting 5 are the lowest.”

Like many carnival games, the claw machine is rigged to only provide the player with one toy every now and then.

Fortunately, TikTokker has invented a way that players can supposedly get the tightest control every time.

“If you press left, right, left, right, down, down and then press the grab button twice before you start, you will hear a quick sound,” the claw breaker advised. “That means the machine has gone to level five sensitivity. If you try to capture it again at this time, you’ll be back to thank me.”

Whisper Claw players were over the moon about this method of beating the car.

“Bro got cheat codes on claw machine before GTA 6,” one shouted, while another wrote: “YOU DO THIS LATER REMINDER.”

“No way bro. It works, legal!” fawn a third.

Jiuziauyo30 is not the first person to claim to be above the law of claws.

Last year, another online arcade fan claimed they mastered the machine by pressing the claw button twice.

The player simply taps the automated trinket grabber once to select the desired toy, then once more to grab tight.

They then ride the stuffed toy to victory, sending it into the shooting range to claim their prize.

Sadly, many experimenters in the comments threw cold water on the cheat code, claiming that while this hack certainly increases their chances, it doesn’t guarantee a toy every time.
