Abstract
A claw crane game is disclosed with a modification of a cylindrical prize such as a beverage container used for energy drinks and the like, to facilitate use with a crane arcade game. The modification can be a disk, dome, plate, or similar shape that affixes the upper surface of the cylinder, enabling a claw mechanism to grasp and retain the entire prize. The attachment can be in the form of a screw engagement, press-fit, adhesive, or other releasable connection that allows prizes to be captured and consumed with little inconvenience.
