Prank ideas that liven up April Fools’ Day (11–20)

Cheating prank + reverse prank

She pulled a cheating prank, and her boyfriend totally snapped—things turned into a real mess.
Cheating prank + reverse prank

A cheating prank is the kind of prank that can easily turn into a huge fight, so it’s very high-risk—but this is a reverse prank that turns that risk on its head.

If a cheating prank actually makes your partner angry, you’re going to feel truly awful.

But once they realize that the cheating prank itself was the prank all along, the tension will dissolve in an instant.

It’s a prank using a commercially available pen that sends an electric shock when you click it to extend the tip.

It might be fun to place them in various spots and watch unsuspecting people’s reactions.

That said, make sure to do it only with acquaintances or in places where pranks are acceptable.

LINE Lyrics Prank

I pulled a song-lyrics prank on my IRL friend and they got super pissed lol #shorts #lyricsprank #LINE
LINE Lyrics Prank

This is a classic prank using LINE, the go-to communication tool.

The method is simple: just send the other person the lyrics of a song as-is.

Be sure to reveal at the end that it was actually song lyrics.

Sending love song lyrics might make their heart race, but you might get scolded afterward.

If the lyrics are too cheesy, they might be totally turned off, so you’ll need to choose the lyrics carefully.

Came home in the middle of hide-and-seek

I actually went back to Tokyo while we were playing hide-and-seek at the Tottori Sand Dunes
Came home in the middle of hide-and-seek

This is a prank where you go home in the middle of playing hide-and-seek.

It works best in large places like schools or parks, since it takes longer to find you and makes it easier to trick people.

If going home isn’t possible, just moving to another location can still make it really exciting.

Prank fight

[Genuinely Scary] Arguing During Filming → A Real Fight Prank!!!
Prank fight

It’s a simple prank where you pretend to have a fight.

It might be more exciting if the person who usually doesn’t get angry plays the instigator.

The longer you drag it out, the more anxious the other person will feel, but they might genuinely misunderstand, so knowing when to stop is important.

Mentos cola bomb

Coke explodes when opened!? [Prank]

Opening a bottle of cola and setting it up is a very easy prank.

When you open the cola, the thread caught on the cap comes off and the Mentos drop in—a simple mechanism.

People often don’t pay much attention to whether a bottle has been opened, especially if it’s handed to them by someone they know, so it seems like an easy trick to pull off.

Prank Ideas to Hype Up April Fools’ Day (21–30)

Ayumi look-alike video prank

@underplot0903

Saying it was Ayu’s live footage, I ended up showing them a live video of ayu (sweetfish).Prankmischief

♬ Original song – Unrot – Unrot

This is a prank that plays on the fact that Ayumi Hamasaki was affectionately known as “Ayu,” by showing a different “Ayu” and enjoying the reaction.

It’s best to pull on people who watched her in real time; the more excited they are, the bigger the disappointment.

The setup is to say you’re going to show “Ayu’s live footage,” then show a nature video about the fish ayu (sweetfish).

It’s funny because the wording isn’t technically wrong.

Since it’s a pun-based prank, it really tests the strength of the reaction, and it’s likely to make the target squirm.
