HOW TO PLAY

April Fools' Text Pranks

Keep it light, reveal it fast and send a smile.

Good text pranks make friends smile, not worry. Tap the button for a message idea that is silly, harmless and quick to reveal, such as a question about penguin knees, a pet rock introduction or a fake marshmallow weather report. Avoid anything about emergencies, bad news or secrets, and always follow up with a laugh. These ideas work for a single friend or a whole group chat. Keep tapping until you find the one that matches your sense of humor, send it, and enjoy the replies. The best pranks leave everyone in a better mood than before.

GOOD TO KNOW

New result every time

Every tap picks a fresh result at random, so no two rounds are quite the same. Play as often as you like, save the ones you love and share them with friends.
