Gachapon and 3D claw machines in TINCHA game

Claw, Win & Collect

Play 3D claw machines built like the ones in Japanese arcades: two buttons, a two-prong claw and a prize box resting on bars, with real physics. Push, tip and knock the box down to win it - and try your luck at gachapon machines too. Win blueprints, permits, item cards and collectible characters, each with unique traits and upgradeable stats.

Use your rewards to build and upgrade restaurants, hotels, shops, and more. There's always something new to discover and fresh ways to grow your stores.

Build & Rate Your Stores

Place restaurants, hotels, and shops, then optimize them with the three-factor rating system. Balance Staffing, Structure, and Decor to climb the ratings. Equip your stores with items that grant performance bonuses.

Watch your ratings rise in real-time as you make improvements. Every decision matters - from which characters to assign as staff to which items give the best bonus.

A Living World with Real Players

TINCHA is a shared city where every player's stores contribute to the skyline. Watch beautifully animated characters roam the streets, visit other players' shops, and see the city grow in real-time.

Every addition makes the world more vibrant. Whether you're collaborating or building at your own pace, you're part of something bigger.

Characters & Items

Collect unique characters with distinct traits and abilities. Win item cards (like core store equipment) that boost your stores' performance across staffing, structure, and decor.

Upgrade your characters and items to unlock stronger abilities. The right combination can transform a struggling store into a top-rated one.

Daily Rewards & Progression

Log in each day to collect bonus spins and progression rewards. The daily reward system keeps you moving forward, even in short play sessions.

Build up your collection over time and watch your city transform from a small plot into a bustling metropolis. Every day brings new opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you do in TINCHA?

Play claw machines and gachapon to win prizes - characters, items, and blueprints. Use your prizes to open stores like restaurants and hotels. Upgrade your stores, climb the ratings, and build alongside other players worldwide.

Is TINCHA an online claw machine with real prizes?

No, and it never asks for real money per play. TINCHA is a free claw machine game: the prizes are characters, items and blueprints you use inside the game to build your stores. If you want physical prizes shipped to you, see our comparison of real-prize and free claw machines.

How do the claw machines work?

Like a Japanese UFO catcher. You hold one button to move the claw right and another to move it toward the back, then it drops. The claw has two prongs and the prize is a box resting on bars, so you win by pushing, rotating and tipping the box until it falls - with real physics, not hidden odds. Each machine is set up differently and shows its difficulty.

Where can I play TINCHA?
