The signature Hero Claws look. Playful, energetic and unmistakably Hero Claws — designed for locations where a more universal arcade aesthetic fits best.

THE HERO CLAWS FAMILY

BUILT BY OUR FAMILY.

Hero Claws started as a family project. We’re a St. Louis family of four building a business together — learning about entrepreneurship, creativity, hard work and giving back along the way. Together, we choose the prizes, design the machines, find great local partners and keep Hero Claws running. And we decided from the beginning that if our family business was fortunate enough to succeed, we wanted some of that success to do good in the community we call home.

FUN WITH A PURPOSE

PLAY IT FORWARD.

We believe heroes aren’t just people with capes. They’re scientists, teachers, artists, explorers, athletes, neighbors — and ordinary people who decide to make something better. That’s why a portion of Hero Claws proceeds supports our family’s effort to build and stock Little Free Libraries around St. Louis, including books that introduce kids to people who changed the world.

Every play helps us put another great story into a child’s hands.
