Branded Prize Cranes

Our promotional prize cranes and prize grabber games not only look great but also are a fun interactive way to attract visitors to an exhibition stand but are also at home in the workplace or as part of a promotional brand activation. Promotional prize cranes can be used to vend promotional merchandise or branded give-aways or used with clear prize capsules allowing the use of tokens or raffle style give aways.

We offer a full customisation of your prize grabbing arcade prize claw with a number of branding options depending on your required use including the exterior, rear, internal and can even brand the claw carriage and prize chute to match your brand or promotional message.

We offer them with start credit buttons in place of the coin mechs allowing them to be used 'free play' without the need to insert cash. We have also developed our own token mechanisms allowing them to be operated with circular promo tokens restricting play to those given a token. Our cranes are supplied 'prize every time' as standard but we can also equip them with ratio programers allowing the distribution of prizes / merch to be limited to match your promotional objectives.

Should your branding or promotional use change our experienced wrap fitters can swiftly rebrand the crane either at our workshops or at your site (subject to travel costs).

Our promotional arcade cranes have been used to pick up all sorts or prizes and promotional merchandise including key rings, socks, make up, baubles, sweets, tokens, stress balls, teddies, air fresheners and even pre-bottled cocktails! The prize grabbers we sell can pick up all sorts of items however we are more than happy to test your desired give away in a claw machine prior to order.

Promotional Prize Cranes

Few attractions create the same buzz at an event as a branded prize crane. Also known as teddy claw machines or arcade grab machines, these interactive games instantly draw in crowds with their flashing lights, exciting gameplay, and the promise of a prize. When fully wrapped in your branding, a promotional prize crane becomes more than just a game — it becomes a powerful marketing tool that turns curiosity into engagement.

At Game Works Creative, we design and supply custom branded claw machines for exhibitions, roadshows, brand activations, and promotional events across the UK and Europe. Whether installed on an exhibition stand, placed in a retail environment, or even used within offices as part of staff incentive schemes, prize cranes consistently attract attention and create memorable experiences.

Every machine can be tailored to suit your campaign. Options include programmable win ratios, free-play start buttons, or custom token mechanisms to control access. Additional LED lighting can be added to increase visibility, and all machines are built with transport in mind, with optional flight cases that allow them to be safely moved in a small van by just one person. This makes them practical as well as impactful.

Clients across the UK and Europe have used our branded arcade cranes to vend everything from teddy bears and toys to sweets, makeup, branded merchandise, and promotional giveaways. The flexibility of the machines means they can be aligned with any theme, campaign, or audience, making them one of the most versatile promotional tools available.

Alongside our prize crane hire and sales, we also manufacture other large-scale interactive event games including cash cube machines, Grab a Grand booths, and branded dance machines — all of which can be customised to match your brand identity.

With their irresistible mix of fun, interactivity, and branding potential, our prize cranes remain one of the most effective ways to attract visitors, boost participation, and leave a lasting impression at any promotional event.

Why Buy A Prize Crane From Game Works Creative

A branded prize crane, sometimes called an arcade claw machine or prize grabber, is one of the most reliable ways to attract attention at exhibitions, retail activations, or workplace events. These machines combine entertainment with strong brand visibility, creating an interactive experience that draws in visitors and keeps them engaged with your promotion. Wrapped in custom graphics, a prize crane becomes more than just a game — it becomes a centrepiece of your stand or event, encouraging participation while reinforcing your brand identity.

The versatility of promotional claw machines makes them especially powerful. They can dispense almost anything, from branded merchandise and giveaway capsules to sweets, vouchers, and novelty items. Some clients use them for staff engagement by filling the crane with prizes for employees, while others use them at exhibitions to distribute promotional products, raffle entries, or limited-edition giveaways. We’re even happy to test specific products in advance to make sure your chosen items work perfectly with the machine.

Every arcade prize crane we supply can be tailored to suit your campaign. Machines can run in free-play mode, be operated by custom promotional tokens, or be fitted with programmable prize settings to control how often players win. Additions such as LED lighting, custom wraps, and internal branding ensure that the crane not only entertains but also acts as a striking branded installation. For event organisers, optional flight cases make transport simple, allowing one person to move and set up the machine in a small van without the need for larger vehicles.

Game Works Creative has delivered branded prize cranes across the UK and Europe for exhibitions, roadshows, in-store activations, and even permanent installations in workplaces and retail spaces. Clients trust them because they generate footfall, increase dwell time, and create social-media-ready moments that extend brand exposure far beyond the event floor.

The popularity of prize cranes is nothing new. Their history stretches back to the early 20th century, when the first mechanical “diggers” inspired by steam shovels gave players the thrill of scooping up prizes. Over the decades, they evolved into the brightly lit arcade classics found in bowling alleys, seaside arcades, and amusement centres worldwide. Today, the modern promotional prize crane brings that same excitement to marketing campaigns and events, combining nostalgic fun with contemporary branding.

From their carnival roots to today’s sleek branded machines, arcade claw cranes remain one of the most effective promotional tools available. They attract crowds instantly, provide interactive entertainment, and give businesses a flexible way to distribute giveaways while reinforcing their brand. With a Game Works Creative prize crane, you don’t just entertain — you create a lasting impression.
