Exciting prank ideas: fun tricks for everyone (11–20)
Oversleeping Prank
Instead of a surprise wake-up prank, this is a “late oversleep” prank that makes the target think they’ve slept past the time they need to get up.
Beforehand, you secretly change all the times on the target’s smartphone, home appliances, and wall clocks, then casually wake them.
When the target opens their eyes and, unaware that the clocks have been shifted, checks the time—how will they react? It’s a powerful prank themed around the terrifying, all-too-familiar fear of being late!
A prank where you trip the breaker during a horror game
This prank requires multiple people, but cutting the breaker while someone’s playing a horror game really amps things up! Even if you don’t go as far as the breaker, pre-turning off lights in the hallway and just switching off the lights in the gaming room works fine.
The key is whether the person in charge of the lights can step away naturally, so make sure to act casual.
You can use this not only during horror games but also when telling ghost stories! Give it a try!
A grand birthday surprise for someone whose birthday it isn’t.
Surprise birthday celebrations are delightful, aren’t they? But this prank is one that would leave you with mixed feelings—happy yet awkward—when you’re given a big celebration only to realize it isn’t actually your birthday (lol).
If it’s just the two of you or you’re with close friends you can say anything to, you could be like, “No, my birthday is next month!” But if there’s an older person you don’t know well with you, or the restaurant brings out a cake or presents… would you be able to correct them? You’d probably be unable to say anything and end up feeling conflicted (lol).
A prank where you remove the bottom of a plastic bottle in advance
It’s a prank where the bottom falls out when someone picks up a plastic bottle.
You turn a bottle filled with a drink upside down, cut out the bottom with a box cutter, cover it with something like a plastic sheet, then turn it back over and gently place it on the table.
It takes a bit of practice and might spill a little, but if you set it down slowly, it’s fine.
No one expects a bottle full of liquid to have the bottom missing—and that lifting it would make the drink gush everywhere, right? It’s a quick jump scare; you’ll probably want to set up a hidden camera to catch their reaction too.
I can hear a sutra over the phone.
It’s scary when you’re on the phone and realize that what you can hear isn’t reaching the other person.
If it’s a sutra, it stirs up even more terrifying imaginings.
This prank might require quite a bit of acting skill from the prankster, but go all out and give your target a real scare!
Surprise pickup in a luxury car
This is a prank I want to try when I’m asked to pick someone up after work, or when I’m the one driving for a trip.
You remember the cars of your close friends and family, right? People who often go out by car—and their boyfriend’s, girlfriend’s, or family’s cars—probably all remember what those cars look like.
So imagine they’re absolutely convinced that familiar car is coming, and they’re waiting at the meeting spot… but a completely different car shows up, and it’s a luxury car.
What kind of face would they make? You’d want to capture that reaction in a video or photo, right? (lol)

A prank where a scary face is peeking out from the toilet bowl
We use the toilet several times a day without a second thought.
Whether it’s at someone else’s house or a public restroom, hardly anyone goes in thinking, “There’s something in the toilet!” This prank plays on that sense of safety: when you open the toilet, a scary face is staring back at you—a real heart-stopper.
It’s an easy prank: just stick a creepy picture or illustration on the underside of the toilet seat.
Find a horror image and paste a terrifying face that fills the whole seat frame!
