Getting a prize in a crane game is not an easy task, but a man in Japan decided to call the police after losing 50 times in a row.
After a couple of police officers arrived on the scene, a staff member was made to prove it was not a scam by playing in front of them.
The curious spectacle was uploaded to the man’s Twitter account on Thursday (October 8), where it went viral, collecting more than 35,000 retweets at the time of writing.

Speaking to local news outlet J-Cast News, the man explained that he had visited a Sega arcade in Tokyo in hopes of winning an award. However, after 50 failed attempts, he thought something was wrong.
One staff member did no better. Under the watchful eye of the police, the employee tried repeatedly and was unable to secure an award.
In a follow-up tweet, he could still be seen struggling with the game while flanked by the two cops.

After 200 failed attempts, the staff gave up and adjusted the position of the prize before I could finally grab it. As such, the police took no action.
In response to inquiries from J-Cast News, a Sega spokesperson clarified that while crane games rely on the customer’s skill and luck to win, customers can always approach a staff member for help.
While calling the police for a tow truck may seem extreme, it pales in comparison to what other people have gone through for the sake of a prize, like lifting and shaking a machine or even getting into the machine itself.
