About ClawZap - Australia’s Free Claw Machine Game Story
The Story Behind ClawZap
ClawZap was born in 2022 from a simple idea: bring the thrill of arcade claw machines to Aussies everywhere, for free. Founded in Sydney, our small team of gamers and tech enthusiasts wanted to recreate the joy of nabbing a prize, minus the coins!
Inspired by childhood memories of boardwalk arcades, we spent years perfecting realistic physics and vibrant graphics. Launched in 2024, ClawZap quickly became a hit across Australia, from Perth to Brisbane. Our goal was to make a game that’s accessible on any device, packed with tournaments and real prizes delivered free. Today, ClawZap unites thousands of players in a fun, competitive community, and we’re just getting started!
