      A new claw machine arcade that opened up in Flushing! They have a variety of prizes to choose from such as pokemons, sanrio plushies, anime figurines and much more! The inside is quite big and the games are worth the try. The cost per play is about $1-$6 depending on the prize. I only spent $8 but ended up winning two prizes. Definitely a fun place to check out!

      Located in Downtown Flushing, this newer clawcade is a must-visit for claw machine enthusiasts.

      The prize selection is diverse, featuring options from Pokémon, Sanrio, and various animal-themed items. The claw machines operate on a flat token rate and are skill-based rather than payout-based, making it easier to win prizes once you get the hang of it.

      The staff are well-versed in prize placements and are helpful in resetting prizes as needed.

      The basement houses a substantial collection of anime and otaku culture merchandise. They carry many imported items not commonly found in other stores and even offer Ichiban Kuji, a rare find in the area. I scored some great Naruto items here.

      Overall, it's a fun spot and highly recommended for fans of claw machines.

      Awesome new claw machine arcade that opened up in Flushing. The plushies/stuffed animals are good quality and authentic with tags from Japan unlike some of the newer ones that have opened up.

      The decor is modern, colorful and chic with anime-themed posters. The machines themselves are neon color themed and looks super fancy.

      There's a lower level that has a wide selection of anime figurines for sale. The popular ones are pricey but the lesser known animes/characters are better priced. There's almost always a clearance section for $15 figurines. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

      OMG-this place is SO CUTE!! My daughter is a big Sanrio/ Cinnamoroll fan, and she asked us to take her here. We came on a Saturday @ 11 am- it was also their grand opening, which we didn't know about, so we received some freebies with purchase. We opted for the (best value) $120 package, and my daughter played a good amount of claw machines- she won 5 plushies. I personally think the machines weren't rigged- it's all skill/ luck. The plushies that my daughter couldn't get, I saw other ppl getting them and vice versa.

      There's a wide variety of claw machines with cute/ authentic plushies as well as figurines- lots of Sanrio- Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, Pokémon, Rilakkuma, etc. You can exchange your winning plushies for points to save or trade-in for other things. Great options to have & the point system is very reasonable.
      The second floor had a huge selection of anime figurines, collectibles, and plushies for sale or trade. All the shelves are stocked with kawaii plushies, anime products & figurines, including rare and hard-to-find items.

      The staff that helped us throughout the whole time we were there was truly amazing! She was so helpful- answered all my questions and showed me how to use the app. She made our experience that much better. She even repositioned the plush for my daughter a few times so she could win it, offered me a shopping cart, took our picture for us, and asked if I needed a bag for all her plushies. My daughter said she loved it, and it's the best arcade out of all the ones she's been to (Partea, Up1, Teso-x, Round1) . We'll be back soon!

      Review is strictly on the claw machines. The claw machines are rigged. The claws twist as they go down. You have 15 seconds which is far less than other places. We've been to a few of the newer claw machine arcades and have always left with multiple prizes. The prizes looks authentic but wouldn't come back for the claw machines. Two stars for the prizes and cleanliness. Minus three for the experience, service and value.

      Really nice new facility with a lot of different claw machine options and blind boxes for pretty affordable prices too.

      The claw machine experience on the other hand is definitely not worth the price you pay. The base starting purchase is 21 tokens for $20. If you check-in on Yelp it also offers you a "free play" which is 3 tokens, however you can't actually play anything because it's 4 tokens per play. That means you only get about 5 plays per $20 but it takes at least 10 plays to win the playout aka the claw be strong enough to grab the plushie.

      It's nice how they're transparent with the prices of their prizes, most averaging at $40+ but like I mentioned before, I spent at least $40 on tokens and still wasn't able to win playout due to other inconsiderate customers.

      The machines also mention that you can ask a staff to help reposition an item to help you win it, but they were pretty unfriendly and more interested in talking to their friends- pretty valid but not the best customer service.

      The BEST claw machine arcade I have ever been to in New York!!!

      The place is extremely spacious with a huge variety of claw machine games, all filled with the cutest plushies and tons of variety. There are Sanrio characters, Pokemon, Kirby, figurines, and more. You can even exchange the plushies you get for points to trade in for different plushies and figurines.

      One thing that stands out is the staff - they are absolutely phenomenal. They are SO kind, fun, and made sure I had a great time. My absolute favorite claw machine place and I will definitely be returning.

      Always have fun coming here. They change up their stuff animals all the time and also they are all legit. A lot of claw machine places use knock off plushies. But this place are all licensed stuff animals. No knock offs. They have a nice figurine collection in the basement. Always spend like 3 hours here when I am in town. The staff are super friendly.

      This spot wasn't hard to find, my friend and I was looking for it on the google map and it was right in the corner with a bright sign going vertical that said project ke, it was very spacious compare to the other gacha spots, there was also a downstairs but didn't get to go downstairs me and my friend was so in to playing the gacha up stairs. Staff was very friendly, the plushies they had were super cute, I did win two of them out of all the plushies I got from the other gacha spots that I won from. A place to just chill and hang out with your friends, cool spot! I will be back with my friends to come with!

      The plushies are extremely cute. The machines aren't crazy expensive. In the basement, they also have toys you can buy or trade if you don't win or see something you like; I don't think they are overpriced either. However, the reason I didn't play is because in order to play an app needs to be downloaded and that's how amount is charged. I find this a bit inconvenient. I guess I'm kind of old fashion.
