If you like claw machines, you'll love Isekai! This fun arcade just opened, and my sister and I had a blast when we stopped in.
Here's how it works: first, you'll grab some tokens. You can get them yourself at the kiosk or purchase them at the prize counter. Tokens will run you $3 for 1, which sounds steep, but don't worry -- most of the machines give you 3 plays per token, so it works out to be about $1 per game, which is pretty standard for arcade games.
There are dozens of claw machines with all different types of prizes ranging from tiny keychains to desk toys to bigger plushes. Pop in a token and try to win some. We ended up accumulating an arm load of prizes by the end of our visit, so they're definitely winnable with a little skill and some patience!
If you end up with a lot of plushes from the claw machines, you can take them up to the prize counter to exchange for bigger prizes. Or you can simply keep your winnings.
There are also gum ball-machine style prize machines -- pop in your token, and see which prize pops out.
Again, they just opened, but it sounds like they've got plans for even more fun. Eventually, they'll be serving up Japanese snacks and drinks as well as hosting events like karaoke nights and cosplay events.
Seems like a fun activity for anyone. We saw a few couples on dates. My sister and I had a super fun girls night. And it would definitely be great for kids too. All around very worth checking out! read more
