The Claw

''This is about the game itself. For the den item, see The Claw Machine.''

The Claw is a minigame that can be played around Jamaa. It is one of several mini-games to have a price (5 gems) and a prize. The den version, The Claw Machine, also has Phantom Plushies available in it. At the Trading Party, Jammers can earn the same items they could get by playing Sky High. There is also a claw for most plushies sold at the Diamond Shop, available for all Jammers. Claw machines can be found at the Sarepia Theater in Sarepia Forest, Sol Arcade, in the Conservation Museum in Appondale, and in Captain Melville's Juice Hut in Crystal Sands. You can use the arrow keys, mouse/pointer or touchscreen to control The Claw. You can win plushies for land dens, you can not get clothes from The Claw.

Playing The Claw
The player must pay five Gems to play. First, the player must use the arrow keys or the mouse to move the claw. Then, the player can drop the claw when they are ready using the mouse or down arrow key. The player may hear a squeak and a gift box will appear hanging from the claw. The gift box is yellow with pink stripes (like any gift box) but it has question marks all over it also. Then the prize is must be opened. A plushie will appear. The claw machine at the Trading Party gives you clothes instead of plushies. The player has an option to "Keep" or "Discard" the prize.

Trivia

 * The Den Version of the Claw machine was a Monthly Member Gift.
 * The Den Version of the Claw occasionally gives Phantom Plushies.
 * The predecessor of the Claw was the Mat Machine, a Claw that exclusively gave orange mats and blue mats. Images of the mats inside the machine can be seen in Captain Melville's Juice Hut, but it is played as a regular plushie claw.
 * In some parties- for example the Trading Party- the claws give clothing items instead of plushies.
