SKILL-TESTER: This Genius Has A Simple Hack To Beat ‘The Claw’ Arcade Game

Many dreams of owning novelty plush toys have slipped through the grip of the ‘claw’ skill-tester game. That is, until now.

The frustrating arcade game, which often boasts shitty prizes of little actual value, somehow sucks in its victims with the allure of beating the system and claiming bragging rights amongst m8s. Who can resist the temptation of beating the claw!?

I’d hate to think how many dollars I’ve coughed up into the infamous ‘chocolate game‘ throughout my teens, hoping to score a few miniature sized chocky bars worth less than the amount of playing.

Now an evil mastermind has cracked the system with a simple solution. All you need is a strong magnet to drag the crane into place and hover it into the perfect position. This enables you to hook the slippery metal prongs and pull up your bounty.

The video which was uploaded to the Shanghaiist today comes in response to an earlier clip they featured back in Feb (below). Originally the method was tested on some worthless light-weight badges, but now it seems the method has been tested on the stuffed-toy variety. Not all heroes wear capes my friends.

Time to test this out ourselves.
