The Round 1 UFO push ‘em / poke ‘em games have more of a skill element than some of their other claw machines. The claws aren’t meant to pick up the prize, but to dislodge it from the fabric pins it rests on. (Some people call them turkey legs.) I like puzzling out just where to prod the plush to get it to fall – that is, if your Round 1 didn’t replace your UFO catchers with their weak-a** UFO 9s… but I digress. Here’s how I won two Sanrio plush in a row at our local Sun Valley Mall, Concord, CA

This is how you can beat the claw machine with your skills #clawmachine
