Clawtopia (Doll Warrior Claw) — Local services in Spring Valley

I discovered this place yesterday (8/15) and absolutely 5 stars. Genuinely loved my experience- mostly due to the enthusiasm of the gentleman working. He had great energy, was knowledgeable and happy for me when I won. I asked a few questions after he greeted me when I first got there. He even helped when one of my plushies got stuck on the shoot coming down. I won a total 5 plushies and 3 keychains. The had Pokémon cards for free and cute stickers for a quarter. The owner called when I was checking out to instruct him to help me when I was trading up of if I needed it. I got a Psyduck Pokémon for my son. The overall difficulty was medium I’d say. Some machines were easy or had light plushies. Some were heavy or had little grasp. I was so excited with my experience that I came back today with my son. A different gentleman behind the counter barely looked up we walked in right behind a large group. He didn’t walk around at all actually. When my son was looking at the Pokémon cards he didn’t tell him they were free. I had to ask to make sure I remembered correctly, but my son didn’t hear. I noticed none of the plushies had been touched from yesterday, most of the machines had one layer of plushies all snug together on the bottom. I knew they didn’t offer shuffles - I asked about that the previous day. He said only if someone wasn’t really winning which I understand. The other group won a couple and was really excited. The employee never said anything encouraging to them which would have shown support. My son spent his coins trying to win one of the 5 coin per try boxes of Labubu. We walked away disappointed and empty handed. I don’t expect anything for nothing. However environment and fairness played a big roll in my review, it was just like night and day. My son was so excited by the way I talked about this claw arcade- that he was sad there weren’t any ‘good machines.’ He’s 8 and knows not to try ones where you can’t grasp anything. I’ll try it again sometime and hope to change my review. I like to walk into a friendly atmosphere where winning is encouraged and machines are reset regularly or daily at least for fairness- if that’s what the...

Doll Warrior Arcade is hands down one of the best arcades I’ve ever been to! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with a wave of nostalgia and excitement. The atmosphere is electric, with bright neon lights, classic arcade sounds, and an awesome selection of games that cater to all ages.

The game variety is top-notch, featuring everything from retro classics to the latest high-tech arcade experiences. Whether you’re into fighting games, racing simulators, or claw machines, there’s something for everyone. The machines are well-maintained, and I never ran into any issues with them not working properly.

What really sets this place apart is the staff. They’re friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about gaming, which makes the experience even better. The prizes in the redemption area are also way better than what you’d find at most arcades—definitely worth saving up those tickets!

If you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, a unique date spot, or just a place to relive your childhood, Doll Warrior Arcade is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming...

This place looked like either it was going out of business or are trying to start up an arcade with a few leftover plushies and machines from a second-hand store. The machines were either empty, or just had a few plushies in them. Most claw arcades constantly replenish the plushies so they are plentiful and full. Even the mini claw machines were all empty except one pen in one of them. Also, some of the joystick knobs were broken and taped up or cracked off. We will never go back and will definitely not...
