Getting started and the tutorial

Step

In short Finishing the tutorial and opening your My Room are the two things to do before anything else.

When you first load in, a tutorial walks you through the basics of operating a claw machine. Follow it all the way through before you try anything else, because it teaches you the controls you will need at every machine in the game. After the tutorial ends, head into your My Room and place the first plushies you have won.

Complete the tutorial it covers all the controls you will use throughout the game.
Open My Room this is where you display everything you collect.
Place your first plushies arrange them however you like; the layout is completely free.

How claw machines actually work

Tips

In short Reading each machine's timing and quirks is the core skill the game asks of you.

Every machine has its own rhythm. The moment you drop the claw matters more than almost anything else, so watch the plushie's position carefully before you act. Playing the same machine several times reveals patterns that are hard to spot on a first attempt.

Tips worth knowing

Watch before you grab — spot the position where the plushie is easiest to catch before you move the claw.
Each machine has its own tendencies — the more you play one machine, the better you read it.
Pay attention to the depth and angle of the claw — this affects whether it slides off or holds.
Try different plushie shapes over time so you get comfortable with a variety of targets.

Coins: earning and spending them

Check

In short Keeping a steady coin income is what lets you keep playing the machines you want.

Coins are the currency you spend to play any machine, so running out means you stop making progress. Winning plushies from machines earns you coins. When coins run low, focus on machines that pay out more coins per win rather than chasing rare plushies on harder machines.

Log in every day consistent daily play is the main way to accumulate coins without spending.
Identify which machines give more coins per win and use those when your supply dips.
Check mini-missions completing them rewards you with new furniture, which means more room decoration without extra coin cost.

My Room and visiting friends

Summary

In short My Room is your personal gallery, and visiting friends' rooms adds a social layer to collecting.

Every plushie you win can be placed in My Room in any arrangement you choose. The layout is yours to change whenever you feel like it, and you can also display furniture earned from mini-missions alongside your plushies. Friends can drop into your room to see your collection, and you can do the same for them — it is also where you can talk about trades.

My Room layout　fully customisable; move plushies and furniture anywhere you like.
Mini-mission furniture　complete missions to unlock new room items.
Friend visits　other players can come see your collection, and you can visit theirs.
Trade discussions　friends' rooms are a natural place to arrange plushie exchanges.

Trading safely

Warn

In short The in-game trade system is the only safe way to exchange plushies with other players.

Trading lets you get plushies you have not won yourself, which is especially useful for filling out your collection. Always use the game's built-in trade feature — sharing account details or making deals outside the game puts you at real risk. Cheating is also detected and results in a permanent account ban, as does creating prizes that break platform rules or copy protected characters without permission.

Worth watching out for

Only use the in-game trading system never hand over your password or account details to anyone.

Cheating gets your account banned permanently, with no exceptions.

Creating prizes that violate platform rules or intellectual property rights can also lead to a ban.

Playing free-to-play long term

Tips

In short Daily logins and smart machine choices are enough to keep progressing without spending real money.

The game is designed so that free-to-play players can collect plushies and enjoy every feature. The key is patience: logging in daily, picking coin-efficient machines when your supply is low, and using trades to fill gaps in your collection.

Tips worth knowing

Make daily login a habit — it is the lowest-effort way to keep coins coming in.
Use the trade system to get plushies you keep missing on the machines.

Common questions

FAQ

Why does the claw keep slipping off without grabbing anything?

Timing and position are the two things to check first. Watch the plushie carefully before you move the claw, and try to drop it when the target is in the most reachable spot. Each machine has its own feel, so a few extra attempts on the same machine will help you read it better.

What should I do when I run out of coins?

Switch to a machine that pays out more coins per win and play it until your supply recovers. Logging in every day also adds to your coins steadily. Trading with friends is another way to pick up plushies you want without spending coins on a hard machine.

Can I play this game without spending real money?

Yes — the game is set up so that free-to-play players can collect plushies and use every feature. Earning coins through daily logins and machine play is enough to keep progressing. Trades with friends can also fill gaps in your collection.

How do I visit a friend's My Room?

Use the in-game friend system to travel to another player's room. Once there you can browse their plushie collection and talk about potential trades. Your friends can visit your room the same way.
