It’s packed with pranks like “no-prep needed,” “using props,” and “using smartphone apps”!

But don’t overdo it.If you keep targeting the same person, they might misunderstand and think, “Do they not like me…?” so be careful!

Friend pranks. Everyone’s fun tricks (31–40)

Unauthorized room modifications

[Prank] I secretly turned my friend’s house into a nightclub lol
Unauthorized room modifications

This one’s quite elaborate, but if it works, it’ll be an insanely fun “room makeover prank.” The idea is to secretly remodel the target’s room while they’re away from home.

Just the title alone is enough to get you excited—so let’s plan it out with the target in mind and figure out what kind of makeover would really surprise them.

clear ramen

[Prank] I suddenly served “transparent ramen” made with clear soy sauce, and their sense of taste completely broke lol

This is a transparent ramen made mainly with transparent ingredients such as clear soy sauce, clear dashi, and clear glass noodles.

The finished dish looks like cloudy hot water with glass noodles sunk in it—hardly an appetizing appearance—but when you eat it, it mysteriously tastes like regular shoyu ramen.

Because the flavor that spreads across your tongue differs from what the appearance suggests, your brain gets confused even if you know how it’s made.

Since it’s about enjoying tasty food, it’s something everyone present can have fun with, and it’s also an interesting prank that lets you examine the relationship between appearance and taste.

A scary face in the car window

I pulled a prank on my friend and they fainted lol
A scary face in the car window

The sight of an eerie face reflected in a car window is a classic pattern among ghost phenomena.

This prank takes inspiration from that situation where a scary face appears on a window.

While inside the car, you ask the target in the passenger seat to close the window, and as the window rolls up, a scary face that’s been attached there comes into view.

Because something is stuck to the clear window, the target feels a sense of wrongness, instinctively looks in that direction, and gets startled.

It’s recommended to use an image or photo with a strong impact—something that surpasses the mere feeling that ‘something’s on the window.’

New Year’s gift prank with an unbelievable amount of money

[Prank] I tried giving my friend a ridiculous amount of New Year’s gift money
New Year’s gift prank with an unbelievable amount of money

When you were a kid, didn’t you often get New Year’s money from your grandparents and relatives every New Year? Once you become an adult, you don’t really get the chance to receive New Year’s money, but getting it still makes you feel giddy and happy, doesn’t it? So, let’s try a prank that uses New Year’s money! As the prankster, get someone who isn’t very close to the target—if the target is your friend, ask your sibling, parent, or a senior to help.

Then have the prankster give the target a New Year’s gift envelope, but inside is an absurdly large amount of money.

Let’s observe how the target reacts to receiving such a large New Year’s gift from someone they’re not close to—their mixed feelings of joy and discomfort will throw them into amusing confusion!

A prank where premium meat is swapped with bargain-basement meat

The prank where a 10,000-yen premium cut of meat gets swapped with super-cheap supermarket meat is hilarious lol

When it comes to cheap wine versus expensive wine, it’s easy to catch yourself thinking the pricier one must taste better… right? This prank plays on that very psychology: the “swap luxury meat with bargain meat” prank.

First, you show some genuinely high-end meat, but when it’s time to cook, you secretly swap it with inexpensive supermarket meat.

Your friend will eat the cooked meat believing it’s the real premium cut, and they’ll likely start declaring things like “It’s delicious” or “You can really tell the difference with expensive meat!” After they’ve had their fill, you reveal the truth.

Be sure to record it so they can watch it later!

Prank ideas for friends. Fun pranks for everyone (41–50)

The inside of the car is completely filled with snacks.

Jump-scare pranks that get your heart pounding are fun, but the kind that surprise you in a happy way are great too.

If you’re thinking of pulling a cheerful surprise, I recommend a prank where you give tons of snacks.

Pack lots of treats into your friend’s car, room, or school desk and watch their reaction.

It also makes a great birthday surprise.

A surprise jungle prank without permission

[Prank] I secretly turned my friend’s house into a jungle

Some people don’t give great reactions even when you pull a prank on them, right? But wouldn’t even the coolest person be surprised if their home turned into a jungle? That’s where the “Surprise Jungle Makeover Prank” comes in.

Get everyone together under the pretense of hosting a party and send the homeowner out on a shopping run.

While they’re gone, turn the place into a jungle—fill the room with greenery and bring in large houseplants to create a jungle vibe.

If rentals are possible, you could even add a real monkey or parrot! And don’t forget to set the mood with jungle sound effects for the BGM.

It’s a big production, but it’s sure to be a hit!
