The "bookend" man and woman is my son and his girlfriend. She's very artsy; my son is very computersy. Their costumes this year were arcade machines.
Went 3-for-3 last night in winning costume contests at 3 different parties. I don't know that much about the Whac-a-Mole game and what it did, but the Claw was a working arcade game. My son loves figuring out things like that, creating the joy stick, the crane "jaws," working with the weight, the computer language, etc. to make it work. They really have a good time with it.
2nd Edit - the whac a mole game is a working game too. The moles pop up underneath, but manually. But when money is put in, depending on how many moles are struck, it dispenses tickets.
They do quite well with the prizes, too, but if people knew how many hours they worked on these things, and how long they planned them lol.
(The two girls in the middle are his twin sister and a friend. My daughter wore a headband and went as a hippie to one of the same parties last night.)
