What it is

Not a Rented Arcade Cabinet

A digital claw machine from Instamedia is a branded, screen-based game, not a coin-operated arcade cabinet with a mechanical claw arm.

Guests play on an iPad Pro or a touchscreen display, controlling a virtual claw that grabs a 3D prize ball rendered on screen. There is no mechanical claw arm to jam or miscalibrate. The platform behind it is IMX Engine™, Instamedia's in-house interactive games engine, which also powers our wheel, memory, puzzle and trivia formats. As our custom games team puts it: this is not an arcade machine with your logo on it, and not a generic rental machine with a sticker slapped on.

Every build is scoped, branded and run by the same in-house team. See the full custom interactive games library, or read about the IMX Engine™ platform behind it.

How it works

How a Branded Digital Claw Machine Works

Instamedia's own case: a digital claw machine built for Switch's iPhone 17 launch at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall, a 3-day activation that captured 479 prizes won and 380 qualified leads, with 300 percent higher dwell time than a traditional booth.

4. Prize Redemption

A win triggers an instant notification and a prize code, which crew hand over as a real, physical prize on the spot.

Real-time inventory management ran throughout the 3-day activation so prizes never stocked out, with a live dashboard tracking player count, engagement and inventory, exportable to CSV.

FAQ

Claw Machine Rental FAQ

By default, no. Instamedia's digital claw machine is a screen-based game: guests use an iPad Pro or a touchscreen display to control a virtual claw and grab a 3D prize ball within a 30-second timer, then redeem a real prize using the code they are given. It runs on our in-house IMX Engine™ platform. If your brief specifically calls for a genuine mechanical cabinet instead, we also fabricate a real claw machine cabinet in-house as a custom bespoke build, never a rented second-hand unit.

A ready-made 2D claw machine is an add-on from RM4,800 (3D from RM5,600) on top of a per-campaign base fee that covers custom branding, leads sent to your CRM, on-site crew or hosting, and a post-event report. A fully bespoke build starts from RM8,000 as a standard interactive rebrand. Our own Switch to iPhone claw machine at Sunway Pyramid, a fully custom build, is priced by Instamedia at RM10,000 to RM50,000+, depending on customisation level, duration and prize inventory requirements.

Based on our Switch to iPhone build at Sunway Pyramid, complete setup takes 2 to 3 hours. On multi-day events, daily setup after the first day takes 15 to 20 minutes.

A single station needs a minimum 3 metre by 3 metre footprint, 5 metre by 5 metre recommended, a standard 220V outlet, and a 10 Mbps internet connection.

Product samples, discount vouchers, branded merchandise and event tickets all work well. Virtual prizes on screen represent roughly RM20 to RM200 of real value each. A win triggers an instant notification with a prize code, which our on-site crew redeem for a physical prize, and real-time inventory management prevents stockouts.
