Funny Prank Ideas for April Fool’s Day 2025
Pour cereal and milk into a bowl the night before, then freeze it. Serve it like it’s fresh in the morning. Watch as they try to dig in with a spoon that won’t budge.
Cover the remote sensor with a tiny piece of opaque tape. Watch as they press buttons repeatedly, wondering why it’s not working.
If your family has a shoe rack, switch around the left and right shoes. Watch the confusion when they can’t find a matching pair.
Take a screenshot of their phone’s home screen, set it as the wallpaper, and move their actual apps to a folder. Watch as they frantically try to tap apps that aren’t responding.
Change the settings on their voice assistant (like Siri or Google) to respond with absurd or weird answers to basic questions.
Place a small piece of clear tape over the charging cable’s connector. It’ll look fine but won’t charge. Perfect for that friend who’s always late because of “phone issues.”
Send them a text saying, “Did you just feel your phone vibrate?” Then, keep sending that message every few minutes without explanation. They’ll start feeling phantom vibrations.
Place a sticky note on the microwave that says, “DO NOT OPEN. CONTAINS TIME-TRAVEL DEVICE.” Then, watch as your victim debates whether to open it.
Hide all their socks and replace them with random things like mittens, scarves, or even a single sock with a note that says, “Your sock has gone on an adventure. It’s living its best life.”
Send them texts like, “Don’t look behind you.” Follow it up with, “Okay, I guess you didn’t look.” Keep going until they’re fully paranoid.
Borrow their phone and change the autocorrect settings. Replace common words like “yes” with “nope,” or “LOL” with “I’m crying.” Text them random messages that make zero sense.
Put your family’s toothbrushes in a cup of water and freeze them overnight. The next morning, they’ll be brushing with what feels like a mini ice sculpture.
Use a Bluetooth speaker to play creepy noises (like distant whispers or faint footsteps) from another room. Bonus: Do it in the middle of the night for maximum effect.
Cut a banana inside the peel with a needle so when someone peels it, it’s already sliced inside. Watch them lose their mind.
Set an alarm on their phone to go off randomly throughout the day. When they check, it’s just a random note like, “Why are you staring at the wall?”
Download a fake “system update” wallpaper on a friend’s phone. Make it look like it’s stuck in an endless loop of updating.
