Step-by-Step Prank Guide
Choose Your Prank Screen
Browse through our collection of broken screens, glitch effects, and system errors. Consider your target's personality:
- Tech-savvy friends: Use Blue Screen of Death for maximum realism
- Casual users: Broken screen pranks work best
- Gamers: Glitch and static effects are perfect
- Parents/older relatives: Simple cracked screen is most believable
Set Up Your Device
Proper setup is crucial for a convincing prank:
- Brightness: Turn screen brightness to maximum for best effect
- Volume: Mute or reduce volume to avoid notification sounds
- Close apps: Close all other apps and tabs
- Position: Place device in a natural location (table, couch, desk)
- Camera ready: Have another device ready to record their reaction
Create a Believable Story
The backstory sells the prank. Try these scenarios:
- ""I just dropped my phone, can you check if it still works?""
- ""My laptop froze, can you come look at this error?""
- ""Something fell on my tablet, I think the screen is broken!""
- ""The computer was making a weird noise and then this happened...""
- ""Can you help me? I don't know what I clicked!""
Launch the Prank
Timing and execution are everything:

Sell the Prank
Your acting makes or breaks the prank:
- Look worried: Show genuine concern about the "damage"
- Don't smile: Keep a straight face no matter what
- Add details: "I just bumped it against the counter..."
- Ask for help: "Do you think it can be fixed?"
- Touch the screen: Gently tap different areas as if testing
Reveal and Laugh
Don't leave them worried for too long:
- Wait for their initial reaction (surprise, shock, advice)
- Press ESC key or tap screen to exit fullscreen
- Announce "PRANKED!" with a big smile
- Show them how you did it

Common Mistakes to Avoid
тЭМ Smiling Too Soon
Keep a straight face! One smile ruins the whole prank. Practice your concerned expression beforehand.
тЭМ Leaving It Too Long
Don't let them stress for more than 1-2 minutes. Reveal the prank before they try to "fix" it or call someone.
тЭМ Poor Device Positioning
Don't hold the device at weird angles. Position it naturally on a surface or hold it normally.
тЭМ No Backup Story
If they ask "what happened?", have a believable story ready. Don't fumble or make it up on the spot.
тЭМ Low Screen Brightness
Dim screens look fake. Always max out brightness for the most realistic broken screen effect.
тЭМ Pranking the Wrong Person
Avoid pranking people who might panic, have heart conditions, or are going through stressful times.
