OMG. 2nd mortgage is needed to play games here. Some are easy but most are super hard. Very hard. Its compact place but hot summer day like today, place is cooled very nicely. Place to be. Workers are going around helping people. If you have hard time trying to grab something, they will help you lil bit. However, some items are super hard to get. Oh, I said that already. Flush toy is nice quality but definitely will spend lot of money trying to get few things. Oh, I said that already. Get the package deal from the beginning for that extra coin. You will end of spending lot more money than you planned. Did I say that? You buy $50 worth of tokens and you get 1 coin. 1 coin is one stuffed animal. You save the coins to trade up to bigger or more valuable toys. Good luck!

We love this place! What a fun, low cost way to have the besttttt time as a kid. My 2.5 year old loves getting the stuffies with my husband, and we've come back as a quick activity so many times! Will continue to come back. The staff always makes it such a positive experience.

Abby K.

Great little place! My daughter is 5, we spent $20, and left with 4 stuffies. You get 22 coins for $20 and all but one machine takes 1 coin per play. One machine takes 4 coins per play. The store is clean and the employee will help your kids win prizes. There was one machine the claw kept dropping right before it was going to drop down in the slot area and the guy placed it on the edge where we were able to get it. Friendly staff and they aren't going to let your kids leaving disappointed.

My GF and I came here because of Las Vegas. We had so much in Vegas and decided to try this spot out. We had so much fun! We spent in total $20 and walked out with over 5 plushies! They have a cute variety of plushies that are high quality as well! There's plenty of parking available in the lot! The employees are very helpful for winning plushies.

So much fun! I always felt like these types of things are rigged but here, the staff help you out and give you tips! If something is stuck, they will literally unlock the box to move items for you so have a good chance. They are dedicated to you having a good time, not a frustrating time. Although, if you really wanna try to get something without help, I suggest you say that beforehand as they can be a bit enthusiastic to help haha. The small toys are non-exchangeable but for the bigger ones, you can trade a number of them in to get larger prizes. Or you can trade them in for tokens you can use next time to play.

Great set up and clean! They have snacks too and it's a fun little place for kids to have fun and enjoy! The Friday afternoon employee there, she was so kind and friendly! Made the experience great

I am known to love crane games/claw machines and so we thought this would be a fun place to take the kids. They are brand new and just opened a few weeks ago in Aurora. They didn't even have permanent signage up yet and you can spot them by the large vinyl banner hanging above the shop. It reminded me of another crane game arcade in Las Vegas which I unfortunately was not able to try during my last visit and so I was very excited to check this place out! It's a small space with all crane games -- about 30+ or so and filled with various toys and stuffies. Each game is one token ($1) which you can get at the counter. Depending on how much you spend, they'll also give you a special token which can go towards exchanging your winnings for an even larger prize which can be found displayed behind the counter. You can exchange as little as 3 stuffies for a better prize. Having played many crane games over the years and constantly win.... I think the games are pretty easy to win compared to a lot of other places. I feel like you can spend as little as $10 or $20 and come out a winner. There were a handful of times that I won on the first try. What's great is a lot of the stuffed animals are actually cute and worth keeping. I loved the variety of Hello Kitty stuffies and other Sanrio characters like Kuromi. They also had fun Minecraft, Disney, and Pixar characters. The tokens do go quite fast though, especially if you're there with little ones! We all had so much fun and loved it so much that we went back a second time the next day which was even more fun, lol. We did spend quite a bit of $$$, but had a really good time. We won over 30 stuffed animals over those 2 days and traded most of them in for larger prizes. I'm proud to say I was able to stuff *most* of them in my handcarry luggage. Haha. Definitely recommend this place if you love crane games! The staff are very nice as well and so sweet. If ever we're back in Colorado, I'd love to stop here again for some fun.

Kyle P.

Really fun, although surprisingly difficult. But it doesn't seem like the staff will let you lose

Ashley C.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Such a great place for family night, date night, or just something new! The staff were super friendly and excited we were all there. The games contain a bunch of different characters and aren't extremely hard to catch so you'll walk away with at least one character. If you collect 20 small stuffed characters you can trade it in for a giant one. They give you tokens to collect if that's your goal. Super fun spot!

In the few months that Crane Games has been open, our family has been one of their top customers!! My daughters (6 and 4) are obsessed and love coming here! We must have at least 30-40 stuffies from CG because they never want to trade them in for a bigger one. To be honest $20 for 23 coins can go fast! Especially when splitting that between two kids so each get 11 coins. We can be done in 15 minutes! I have to keep reminding them to take their time. Paying $20 is the same as going to Lava Island or Sky Zone, but sometimes you just want to get them out of the house for a short while without being at one of those play places for a long time. So we've found that CG is the perfect spot for our family that makes the kids happy! And then we can go home. We always leave with at least one stuffie, sometimes eight! It's quite literally hit or miss, and my kids are not good at it at all! Yet somehow they still are able to grab some! We've gotten to know the owners and staff during our many visits and appreciate how they genuinely care about making their customers (especially the kids) happy!! Lots of adults come in to play too though!! Haha no judgement.

Melanie N.

Loved the games, staff is really nice and the prizes are pretty good quality. You can also trade up for different plushies as well!

Michelle K.

We stopped by during break since we are in the Aurora area. Once walking in, we noticed all the variety of crane games they had to offer. From all the cute plushies to keychains to coin pouches they had something for every ages. The facility is clean with very friendly staff that helps you win games through out your visit. We left there with so many cute plushies with the options to trade up to get something bigger.

Melanie T.

I was so happy to finally have a crane games location here in CO after visiting the ones in Vegas. I am sad I missed out on coming here during opening weekend because from photos I have seen, they had cuter options for the small plushies to grab. We came when it had been open for a while and the small plushies weren't as cute. I feel like that's sometimes okay because most are exchanging for the other items. I think because it's still pretty new, it's not always full of the bigger plushie upgrades so maybe when they've been around more. I would love to have the opportunity to get the Mario styled Sanrio plushies or the doremon. Overall, it's pretty fun and you get a nice collection.

Had a gift card so we came to spend it! Mellow day which was nice. Sometimes it's so crowded. Converted the gift card to tokens so we could play. Picked one to start and beginner's luck. Won a Toothless dragon. The associate was so nice and fluffed the stuffed at some of the game consoles for all of us. It was fun to play even though he wasn't a fan of the different Stuffies. Such a relaxing time! read more

This is the first time that I have gone to a crane game location that did not have other arcade games. I thought they had a great selection of plushies to choose from. The ones that I was interested in were the Pokémon and Spongebob characters. In December, I also tried to get one of the Rudolf and elf plushies. My husband spent his time at the Dragon Ball Z character filled machine. They also had characters from Inside out, Hello Kitty, Stitch backpacks, and superheroes that I noticed. The staff were nice. They helped us get a Pichu that we spent a lot of time trying to get. We are not very good at the claw machines to say the least, but we still left with two stuffed animals! We all had a fun time and did not want to stop playing! I would definitely bring visiting friends here. read more

Kids and those obsessed with crane games will have fun. There are probably about 30 or so cranes available with various plushies. You can collect smaller plushies and trade up for larger ones. You can also exchange one small plushie for a coin and save up coins over a period of several visits to upgrade. The staff are very friendly. They are happy to help little ones win a prize after a couple of unsuccessful attempts. They want you to go home with a new stuffy friend or two. read more

Overall it was a fun experience. The place was very busy and there were great little prizes to win. However, seeing a staff member frequently unlock the machines to make the games easier for her little brother to cheat, as a paying customer, it gave a really bad impression. It wouldn't have been as negative of an impact if she at least restocked as frequently as she emptied the machines from her cheating. read more

Review Highlights - Crane Games

“It reminded me of another crane game arcade in Las Vegas which I unfortunately was not able to try during my last visit and so I was very excited to check this place out!”

They charge $4 to enter since they have 70 or so free to play games which are mostly all old school games. Depending on what day of the week it is, they also have specials that range from free entry if you purchase a $10 game card, or even free tickets just from buying a game card. The games are a mix of games you can find at your local Dave and busters, to some that you'd find at an abandoned garage sale. The only problem I had, was after hitting a few ticket jackpots, I noticed that the card never registered my tickets. I spoke with a nice worker and she promptly loaded some of the missing tickets to my game card. Just sucks that the game cards/arcade games are pretty unreliable and I wish they had a better system. Overall, the prizes were great but expensive for the ticket value they were listed at. On the contrary, the games were all 1-6 nickels as opposed to 1-6 quarters at a normal arcade which honestly was amazing and hard to find in today's economy. The couple of plushies that I was able to redeem and take home was enough for me to remember this fun and family-friendly arcade.

They have a lineup of fun classic arcade games in the front area near the bar, and then there's a larger space with pinball and other arcade games in the back.

The bartender was kind and even gave us some tokens another guest had left behind! Games aren't cheap - about $1 per person per play - but I suppose that's what they run these days.

Immersive Gamebox - 9+CO Denver

Overall: Fun and unique activity. Would not recommend for large groups of adults - see details…read morebelow. Games chosen for three people: Alien and Ghostbusters. Personally enjoyed the Alien one more as I felt the Ghostbusters one was repetitive in some parts. Experience: Instructions are clear. Good pacing and very engaging. Space: Space is good for two. Was running into each other with three people. I feel like it would be too crowded with 4+ people on certain game activities. It kinda got stuffy in the room after 30 minutes, so it would be nice if there were bigger fans on the ceiling, ventilating the air more. Drinks: Pricey. Basic alcoholic and non alcoholic option. Nothing super exciting. There's a drink holder shelf in the game rooms. Extra note: Cancellation policy is very stringent. We added two friends to our reservation on the day of the reservation and a few hours later, they couldn't make it due to a sudden medical reason. Even though these changes all happened on the day of, they would not make any exception. Only offered the option of rescheduling them in the future by emailing the manager. Keep that in mind when you make a reservation.

The room walks you through all the steps and you put on your hat, which is what controls you through the game. We played for about an hour and it was plenty of time. One of our games required a bunch of squats so I was definitely sore the next day. There are drinks for sale however it's also in a plaza with a bunch of restaurants if you wanted to catch up after. Pricewise I thought it was a little expensive, but it was worth it. Also, I definitely recommend keeping the rooms to max four people.

I love that there's free parking and plenty of it since it's in the DTC. The bartenders make some pretty damn good drinks. I enjoyed my spicy margarita. There's not enough space to enjoy all of the arcade games because my friend and I felt very squished in towards Galaga and Qbert. The biggest downfall is having to buy tokens to play the games instead of just using quarters. I've never tried the food at any of the 1UP locations. I've been to this location twice now and I will be back.

Despite this, if you go anytime during the afternoon/early evening, you'll have plenty of kids there which are supposed to be supervised by their parents but nobody really abided by that rule. All of the games were about the same price you'd find at any arcade. The selection of games were a little underwhelming and all of the claw machines and prize games ran off of a pay-out which meant it wouldn't let you win until it got enough money in it which I thought was pretty lame. The bar itself had some nice deals. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy a beverage and play some games, this place seems like a hit or miss. Also, for an arcade with lots of kids, the amount of vulgar drawings and language in the restrooms were very off-putting. I feel like this place does really well in their other location in downtown Denver, but in Greenwood Village, it is out of place, and just doesn't hit the mark.

I came after I picked my son up from his after care program and there was no employee in sight for about 15 minutes. We ended up just grabbing clubs and doing putt putt. At the end there was a teenager who came out when we had gone through probably 8-9 holes and he said "Excuse me, who checked you out?" And I said "No one. No one was here and we weren't gonna wait all night." He was like "I am the manager on shift and that's not true." Clearly trying to not be in trouble. It was absolutely inappropriate the way he treated everyone in there. I don't know what they were doing that whole time but the lack of responsibility they took for not being present where they needed to be was ridiculous. I will call back later and speak to the general manager and pay for the round we did but in my opinion, the kid working should be fired. The cash register was left unmanned, plus all the merchandise, the main door open, the self service card reader wasn't working, there was zero attention to customers. I work with high school students and 98% of them would be more responsible than this. It was completely unprofessional!

There are so many options. Best to have friends split and choose. I would suggest that when you're here, defiantly get a Fresca. They're so large and perfect to satisfy a thirst. Plenty of them do accept Apple Pay which is wonderful since I don't carry cash with me ever. They'll give you a beeper so when your foods ready, they'll notify you.

It took us a little longer than 30 minutes to get through 9 holes, but for $14 a game it was nice to get a taste of what it was like. I would absolutely return, and plan to take advantage of their $25 play all day deal, and also their happy hour. This is not your usual putt putt place. Everything is electronic, and your ball has a microchip in it, so it tracks your score. This was awesome for me, as sometimes it didn't record my strokes and gave me a slight advantage, although I still lost. There are screens that tell you what to do, and hazards or super tubes that if you have decent aim, can benefit you greatly. Our favorite was the pac man and Tetris themed holes. They also had a skeeball hole that was fun as well. This is great for a date night- I will be back for sure!

If you're looking for the most exciting and rewarding claw machine in Colorado, look no further. This claw machine is hands down the best I've ever played. Not only is it incredibly fun and easy to use, but the prizes are on another level. Unlike most machines that feel impossible to win from, this one is actually fair, well-maintained, and gives you a real chance to walk away with something awesome. The selection of prizes is amazing--high-quality items, popular plushies, and cool collectibles you actually want to win. Every play feels exciting, and the machine is always stocked with fresh, appealing prizes. Whether you're a casual player or a claw machine fanatic, this one truly stands out above the rest in Colorado. Highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

I recently visited Crane Games Arcade, and I had an absolute blast! This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves claw machines and arcade games. First off, the variety of claw machines is impressive.. Each machine is well-maintained and clean, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was thrilled to see some unique prizes that you don't usually find at other arcades. The staff at Crane Games are incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always around to offer tips and tricks, and they even helped me retrieve a prize that got stuck in the machine. Their enthusiasm and dedication to customer service really stood out. read more

This claw machine store is hands down one of the best I've been to. The prizes are actually worth winning -- not cheap fillers like you see everywhere else. Everything is clean, well-stocked, and you can tell they care about quality. The machines feel fair, and the prizes are legit: cool plushies, popular items, and stuff you actually want to take home. I've won more here than at any other claw place, and even when I didn't win, it still felt fun and not rigged. If you're tired of claw machines with terrible prizes, this is the spot. Definitely coming back read more

Michelle was SO nice, my boyfriend and I went for the first time and she was so, so helpful and made us leave saying "that was so much fun, we gotta come back" to each other We spent $50 on coins and they gave us one token for an automatic win from any claw game of our choosing. You can trade your plushies for bigger ones up front too! We also won a labubu from a claw machine! 10/10 experience; cute plushies, claw machines that ACTUALLY grab prizes, such friendly staff, we'll be back :) read more

The staff is still helpful, the building is still clean, and it seems like the prizes continue to get better each time I go in!

Crane Games was an awesome experience! The staff were super welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. When they heard I'd spent over $250 and only collected 16 plushies rather then the average 40, they were kind enough to hook us up with extra plushies and rewards to make up the difference. It really showed how much they care about their customers read more
