Inside Klawsome: Michigan’s First Claw Machine Arcade in Novi

Do you like trying your luck (or skill) at claw machines? It turns out there's a place just for you: Klawsome!

My partner and I were adventuring in Novi, Michigan when we decided to refuel with coffee and a pastry. And what turned into a quick pit stop for refreshments turned into an unexpected adventure at Klawsome.

What Is Klawsome?

Klawsome is Michigan's first stand-alone claw machine arcade, and it opened at the end of August.

Instead of the wide variety of games you might find in a typical arcade, Klawsome is only filled with claw machine games. There are claw games of all sizes and skills and filled with all different kinds of goodies.

Types of Claw Games You’ll Find

There are a few claw machine games where you could play until you won. Those machines had teeny, tiny trinkets or small snacks. Other claw games you only had one opportunity to try to win the item you chose. And there were plushies of all kinds that you could win.

I had my eye on a floppy goose, but alas, my claw skills were not good enough.

I’d never been to a place like this before, but I’m so glad I stumbled across it. Klawsome was a super fun time! Next time you're in Novi, this could be a fun place to stop by.
