New World Mall was always a bit of a drab place, but thanks to Horae Play they've instituted something for the youngins while making the place a bit more convivial in the process. It's a tight space, unlike the other claw machine spots in town, but that hasn't stopped children or adults from indulging in these machines. (#1)
The cost to play these machines will range from $1-3 and is only redeemable via tokens. The mini machines out front are good for toddlers, while the other regular sized machines are better for everyone else. I can't speak to expert claw folks, but I found that none of the machines made it easy to score any of the dolls or toys inside. Hence, these tokens can get expensive real quick.
The other downside is that there are any technical difficulties, there's no one available to help fix them. No claw machine lifeguard or technical support means monitoring the games a bit more closely. While I wouldn't recommend playing here if it's crowded, it does make the waiting time for DAXI (#2) just a little easier.
