UFO Catcher Mini Game Guide
How to play UFO Catcher
The UFO catcher is one of the arcade games that involves using a UFO to take one of the stuffed dolls. The goal is to carefully adjust the position of the crane on top of the doll to ensure that the claw latches firmly and brings it to the vent.
UFO Catcher Tips
Have the crane lined up with the doll’s core
In order to successfully claim the reward, the crane must be aligned with the center of the chosen doll. However, there’s a twist since many of the dolls come with wobbly heads which can offset the center. Look at the dolls carefully, choose one that you find most convenient to catch, locate its center, and then lower the crane to collect it.
Talk to the attendant to reset the position
In case you brought the doll on spots or corners that are hard to reach, you can speak to the attendant to bring the prizes back to the starting positions.

Seriously. It sucks. It has the bare minimum information. Also it’s wrong. You guys are the fucking worst.
Hey now, there’s just so little to say other than eyeball and good luck!
Nah, this guide isn’t really that bad. Just like what Kasuga said, you need to use your eyes well to get the prizes.
Ok, here’s something I noticed. Instead of being overly focused on using the claw to pick up the prizes, you can occasionally use the claw to push the prize into the hole or manipulate the position of the prize into a better angle.
Like set the claw to pick up directly behind the prize and when it opens up, it might push or knock the prize over.
