Panic!? Unique LINE pranks to pull on LINE (21–30)

Vertical acrostic LINE prank

This prank sends a hidden message using the first characters of each line.

For example, if you write two lines like “Sukiyaki o tabeta, kinō” (I ate sukiyaki yesterday), reading vertically creates the hidden message “suki” (I like you).

How about startling the other person with sudden complaints or a mean-sounding message, only to reveal a hidden message like “I love you” or “Always together”?

Prank calls using only recorded audio

This prank tests whether you can hold a natural conversation with someone using only pre-recorded audio—can you pull it off without them realizing it’s a recording? Use your smartphone’s recording feature and prepare a variety of phrases and backchannel responses to make the conversation sound as natural as possible.

A good tip is to include replies that can be taken as playful responses to almost anything, as well as phrases that deny it’s a recording.

Now, how far can you go using only recordings to carry on a conversation?

Intentionally sending a message to the wrong person on LINE

Intentionally sending a message to the wrong person on LINE

Haven’t many of us accidentally sent the wrong message on LINE? This prank is a slightly mean-spirited one where you “intentionally” send a message to the wrong person.

For example, while you’re with your boyfriend, you “accidentally” send him a LINE you were supposedly going to send to another guy.

Instead of something direct like “I love you,” try a suggestive message like “I had a great time the other day.” He’ll likely get flustered and confront you.

Don’t be too mean—reveal the prank early!

A non-lover replying on LINE

I think many couples casually chat on LINE all the time, even when there isn’t anything in particular to tell each other.

But if someone who isn’t their partner replied to those casual chats, would they notice? No matter how often you message, it’s still text, so it’s hard to tell—and you’d never imagine someone else is replying, right? Still, there’s that subtle sense of something being off everywhere; the prank is seeing how they’ll pick up on it and let you know.

In conclusion

Those who set up a LINE prank feel their hearts race as they imagine the other person’s reaction, while the recipients are moved by an unexpected twist from the usual. Just by using LINE’s familiar features, unexpected laughter is sure to echo through the chat screen you know so well. Use the ideas in this article as a hint, and try slipping a touch of playful spirit into your exchanges with someone important to you!
