Prank Ideas to Hype Up April Fools’ Day (21–30)
Hundred-person unit
It’s a terrifying prank where, while you’re walking down the street, a hundred people suddenly start running toward you.
To make the target run away, you need a large crowd to chase them; otherwise, it’s not very effective.
Like on TV specials, it might be more effective if the crowd bursts in while shouting something.
Vinegar mist fan
A mist fan is a fan that produces a fine mist when you add water.
This prank involves filling it not with water, but with vinegar.
The target will be startled by the vinegar’s distinctive pungent smell.
It’s recommended to do this after sports and similar activities.
April Fools’ Prank Ideas That’ll Get Everyone Going (31–40)
A hot Otonamin C prank
You’d be pretty surprised if a drink left in an inconvenient spot was really hot, right? Especially if it’s a drink you normally think of as cold.
Heat a bottled or canned drink with boiling water and leave it on the desk of the person you want to surprise.
Even after a bit of time passes and it cools down, it’s still hot enough to leave them unsure what to do—and all they can do is laugh.
Cigarette swap prank
Judging by the content, it looks like a prank-style video testing whether someone would notice if their cigarettes were switched, but from the person’s perspective, that’s really not okay.
Whether they realize it when they take a puff or don’t notice and it’s revealed later, it’s sure to make a scene either way.
Get stuck in the bathroom
In the video, the target is locked in a restroom as part of a real-life escape game.
It has a playful, enjoyable game aspect, but the confined space might be somewhat uncomfortable.
It would be great if the mechanisms are well crafted to make it fun.
Wrap at the entrance/exit
It’s a prank where you stretch plastic wrap across a doorway to catch someone as they walk through.
It went viral online, so some people might already know about it.
Be careful: if you use too little wrap, it will tear easily.
And when you try it, make sure no one falls and gets hurt.
Hit with a breaking bottle
If someone hit you with a bottle, anyone would be startled, and it would be pretty scary, right? The bottle-smashing scenes you see in movies are actually filmed using breakable bottles made of candy-like materials.
They’re even sold commercially, so you can use them for pranks.
In this video, they’re running an experiment to see how many times being hit in a day it would take to get used to it.
