Customer Reviews

This used to be Mango Mango before it was Claw & Conquer. It's a small space, so there's a decent amount of claw machines to interact with. The place is clean and well lit. Managed to grab a couple of things with $10. Overall, my first time here had decent prizes.

i am never coming here ever again !!!! it was my first experience and the place was soooo hot !!!!! they have fake products which i bought because she told me they were real. IT WAS FAKE LABUBUS !!!! i was so excited to finally get my hands on some labubus but am now disappointed and heart broken that i got scammed but a nice old lady.

This place is in a good location and easy to win prizes!

It was an amazing day, and it was really empty in there no one was in there I felt crushed after seeing the elder woman because she was trying to sell me labubus and she just wanted to have customers and make some money that day, I'm rating five stars because I wish for people to see my review and go there and support all of the employees, I cannot stop thinking about her and would love to go back, to see her once again.

My first time there that place smell so bad in there. Don't waisting money there. The old lady keep looking at u like u crazy

Small place but they have some good quality plushies. Will be back with my kids again

The store is in the corner of Kimson buffet. It's small but have decent machine for you can pick and play.

The lady was very nice, yet the place was very hot and the prices were not nice.

managed to snatch a prize pretty cool

I love claw machines!

It was a nice outing after dinner with 2 under 1! Yoshi we are coming for you! ??????

Good experience, it is tricky and the aim is to get as much money from you. But the lady in the front is super sweet and helpful. So that was nice.

Prices are great and the machines have awesome prizes !

I had such a great time at this claw machine place! The selection of prizes was awesome and the machines were actually winnable (which is rare!). What really made the experience stand out was the owner. He was super kind and made sure the machines were set up to be fair, not rigged like some other places. You could tell they genuinely wanted people to have fun and walk away with something. Definitely worth checking out!

Don't waste your time here. Prizes aren't that great, trade up prizes aren't worth it and on top of that the claw machines are extremely stingy. My son spent $10 on one machine and couldn't even get a mini yoshi toy. Better off going to any other claw place that embraces the opportunity to win more to try to trade in prizes. Spent $30 could only win 2 prizes?. That's insane where that be close to 7-10 at minimum at any other place. You are better off winning those big prizes at kiddleton or those bowling al

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
