Prank ideas that hype up April Fools’ Day (1–10)
A prank where the bottom of a plastic bottle falls out
This is a prank where you cut off and remove the bottom of a plastic bottle and leave it on a table.
You might wonder if the water will leak, but if you cut the bottom straight with a utility knife, it won’t leak.
When you do it, make sure to be careful so that smartphones and other items don’t get wet.
Potato chip–shaped jack-in-the-box
This is an April Fools’ prank that surprises people by turning a cylindrical potato chip container into a jack-in-the-box.
It’s fun for both kids and adults.
When someone opens it expecting to eat potato chips, something suddenly pops out—an unexpected and entertaining surprise.
A jump scare with a face on the toilet seat
It’s a prank where you stick a piece of paper with a face printed on it onto the toilet seat.
It’s easy to set up, and if it goes well, you can give someone quite a scare.
Since it’s pretty intense, be sure to follow up properly afterward, especially if the person isn’t good with scary things.
Prank ideas that liven up April Fools’ Day (11–20)
The toothpaste is filled with chocolate mint ice cream.
This is a prank where you swap the toothpaste with mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Since the ice cream is much sweeter and doesn’t foam, it’ll be discovered right away.
It’s fun for the prankster, and tasty for the person being pranked—a prank everyone can enjoy.
Confession to my best friend
The longer you’ve known a friend, the more you can kind of read each other’s thoughts without saying anything, right? This prank involves throwing out a comment that seems to stray from those unspoken understandings and seeing how they react.
It’s recommended to use a line delivered seriously—like a confession—so you can probe into how they truly feel deep down.
The more serious the words, the more resentment they might feel when you reveal it was a prank, so it’s important to balance things and take care of that part too.
Office prank
It might be a bit of an over-the-top prank, but you don’t often walk into work to find someone’s space turned into something wild—so it’s bound to be a conversation starter.
Try all kinds of ideas, like turning the computer into a cardboard mock-up or lining up paper cups filled with paint.
I’m really curious how they’d even get started with their work after that.
A prank where someone wins the lottery
This is an April Fools’ prank about winning the lottery.
Acting like you’ve won is tough, but the more effort you put into setting up the prank, the more likely the person being tricked will turn anger into laughter—so don’t hold back.
The more realistic it feels, the more excited the target will get.
