Dive into the spectacle behind Claw King—now officially the world’s largest claw machine. Standing 17.16 ft long, nearly 13 ft tall, and over 8 ft wide, this mechanical marvel spans a massive 1,761 cubic feet, towering over its predecessor in Florida. 

Built by PlayFair at the iconic TOPS viewpoint in Cebu City, Claw King isn't just a world record—it’s a vibrant symbol of Filipino creativity and cultural pride. Designed by local artist-engineer Kuya Magik, the project merges traditional perya (carnival) culture with modern entertainment to boost Cebu’s tourism and global recognition. 

Measured on July 5, 2025, by Engr. Noel Aguilar Jr. to meet Guinness standards and officially certified on July 21, 2025, this feat took months of design work, 4,500+ screws, 100 meters of cabling—and just five days to assemble on site.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
