Tiger Clawzzz, a Japanese-inspired arcade, has opened in Baton Rouge. The arcade features over 26 games, including claw machines offering plush toys and high-tech Gashapon vending machines. Co-owners Kay Vong and Patrick Wong, inspired by their experiences in Japan, aim to introduce unique entertainment options to the area. Players can exchange multiple standard plushies for larger ones up to five feet tall. Additionally, Sweet Society plans to launch a build-your-own boba bar and redesign its taiyaki desserts into tiger paw shapes to complement the arcade’s theme.
