From simple office tricks to elaborate home setups, there's something here for everyone. So get planning, and have fun!

The whoopee cushion is a classic prank that never gets old. All you need is a balloon and a sharp object to make a small hole in the balloon. Once the hole is made, blow up the balloon and put it on a chair or sofa. When someone sits down, the air will escape and make a farting noise. This prank is sure to get a laugh out of everyone.

For the arachnophobes in your life, put a fake spider in their cereal bowl, shoe, or anywhere else you can think of. They’ll be surprised and creeped out all at the same time! You can buy fake spiders online or at your local party store.

This is a classic prank that never gets old. All you need is some salt and sugar. Simply swap out the sugar for salt in the sugar bowl. The next person who goes to add sugar to their coffee or tea will be in for a nasty surprise!

For this prank, you will need some string, tape, and a few small items like paperclips or pushpins. First, tie one end of the string to an object near the door, and then run it across the doorway at about ankle level. Tape the string in place so it doesn’t move. Then, attach the small objects to the string. When your victim walks through the door, they will trip over the string and the objects will go flying!

For a prank that will get everyone in the office laughing, have a chair race! This can be done with any type of chair, but office chairs work best. To set up the race, line up the chairs in a row, with each chair about a foot apart. Then, have two people sit in each chair and hold on to the back of the chair in front of them. When you say “go,” the teams will race to the finish line! This is a great prank because it’s not too destructive and it will definitely get some laughs. Just be sure to have a plan for getting the chairs back to their original spots when the race is over!
