Looking for a fun, interactive, and unforgettable event feature? Renting a claw machine from Le Saint Motel is one of the easiest ways to turn any event, brand activation, or party into a crowd-magnet.
From corporate events to weddings, pop-ups, festivals, and photo shoots, our claw machines aren’t just nostalgic, they’re high-engagement experiences that people actually want to line up for.
Below, we break down all the ways you can use a claw machine rental, plus why they’re one of the most powerful experiential marketing tools right now.
Why Rent a Claw Machine for Your Event?
Claw machines check all the boxes:
-
Interactive & intuitive (no instructions needed)
-
Nostalgic (instant emotional connection)
-
Photogenic (people love filming their attempts)
-
Flexible (works for branding, prizes, decor, and games)
-
All-ages friendly
They encourage participation, repeat engagement, and social sharing which makes them perfect for both fun events and strategic marketing.
Corporate Events & Team-Building
Claw machines are a hit at:
-
Company parties
-
Team-building days
-
Holiday events
-
Office launches
How they’re used:
-
Employees win prizes, perks, or merch
-
Ice-breaker challenges between teams
-
Friendly competitions (fastest win, most prizes, etc.)
They create a relaxed, playful atmosphere that's ideal for bonding without forcing awkward “team exercises.”
Brand Activations & Experiential Marketing
If you’re planning a brand activation, claw machines are gold.
Popular uses include:
-
Winning branded merch or samples
-
Unlocking discount codes or QR prizes
-
Custom tokens or tickets earned elsewhere at the event
-
Collect-to-play mechanics that increase dwell time
They naturally drive:
-
Longer booth visits
-
More foot traffic
-
More UGC (user-generated content)
-
Higher brand recall
People don’t just see your brand, they play with it.
Trade Shows, Expos & Pop-Ups
Standing out in a sea of booths is hard. A claw machine:
-
Stops people in their tracks
-
Creates a visible crowd (social proof)
-
Gives visitors a reason to engage, not just grab a flyer
They’re perfect for:
-
Food & beverage expos
-
Lifestyle & fashion pop-ups
-
Tech showcases
-
Tourism and cultural events
You can even use them as a lead-gen tool (play after signing up, scanning a badge, or answering a question).
Weddings, Parties & Private Events
Yes, claw machines work beautifully at private events.
Great for:
-
Weddings
-
Birthdays
-
Bachelor / bachelorette parties
-
Anniversary celebrations
Fill them with:
-
Mini favors
-
Personalized keepsakes
-
Inside-joke prizes
-
Candy or fun props
They’re playful, unexpected, and way more memorable than a standard favor table.
Photo Shoots, Sets & Visual Content
Because claw machines are bold, colorful, and retro, they double as:
-
Set decor
-
Interactive props
-
Video backdrops
They’re often rented for:
-
Editorial shoots
-
Campaign visuals
-
Social media content
-
Influencer collaborations
People interact with them naturally, which leads to dynamic, authentic photos and videos.
