Once you’ve settled into life in Kaso-Machi inPromise Mascot Agency, it won’t take you to long to notice the giant UFO catcher crane games dotted around the island. However, you’ll soon realise that they can’t be used straight away rather sadly.
These crane games will later become invaluable to you as they are arguably the best source of income, providing you keep on top of using them, as you don’t have to give a cut of the profits to your mascots. Here’s everything you need to know.
When Do You Unlock The Crane Game?
You need toprogress through the storyline enough to have met Fuku-Kata, and shortly after this point, Shiori will ask to speak to you and explain you can start selling mascot merchandise, and that’s where the crane games come in.
Deliveries are made each evening, but you need to catch and win the merchandise in order to be able to sell it.
Once you’ve unlocked the crane game, there areseveral locations where you can play it.
All Crane Game Locations
You can play the crane game from any of the above locations. Stock is randomised each time andlocation does not affect which items are available.
How To Play The Crane Game
Every figurine you successfully pick up during the crane game will give youa set number of merch items with a specific combined value.
The items available to you are based on which merchandise you have collected from around Kaso-Machi (we have a full breakdown further below).
Pink
UR
Theglow of each figurine in the crane machine dictates how rare the item is, and therefore, how much the items are worth.
You can only press the up and right buttons once each per attempt, so make sure you keep the button held to take the claw as far as you need it to go before releasing it.
You can use the camera button to change the view if that helps you gauge where the claw needs to be.
Once you’ve cleared all the items, you canuse the Recycle icon button on the far right to refresh the machineand have new items added, or exit out with your winnings to assign them to locations.
If an item becomes out of reach due to a bad catch, it’ll likely remain stuck, so just reset the machine.
Resetting the machine does not put the current items back to their original position, but adds a whole new range of items.
How To Stock Merch
Once you’ve collected some merch from the crane game, you can assign it your available delivery locations. Eachlocation has preferred mascot items, so they’ll sell better if you assign them there. Additionally,locations with more customers will sell items faster.
You’ll unlock new locations to sell merchandise as you unlock new mascot job locations and renovate new areas.
War Ruins
If you want to ensure you’re getting specific merch, use the reset button and only target the mascot items you want.
Each location starts with zero stars but can level up to three stars by supplying it with items. Themore stars a location has, the more money it makes.
All Mascot Merchandise Locations
Mascot merchandisewill only appear once you have recruited the mascot in question, so each time you recruit a new mascot, new merchandise collectibles will appear on the island. Here’s where to find them all.
