All Pranks & Effects

A haunted second cursor follows their every move

A secondary, delayed cursor appears and mimics the victim's mouse movements with a creepy lag. They'll frantically try to figure out why their cursor seems to have a mind of its own. Works on all websites and is subtle enough to confuse even tech-savvy users.

The page never ends — they'll scroll forever

The page footer keeps moving further down every time the victim tries to reach it. No matter how fast they scroll, the bottom is always just out of reach. Perfect for long articles or shopping pages where scrolling is expected.

A full-screen Windows/Mac update takes over

A realistic full-screen system update animation covers the entire browser window. Complete with progress bars, percentage counters, and "Do not turn off your computer" warnings. Victims will sit and wait for an update that never finishes.

Everything is flipped horizontally

The entire webpage is flipped horizontally like a mirror image. Text reads backwards, images are reversed, and navigation is inverted. It's disorienting enough that victims know something is wrong but can't immediately pinpoint what.

A realistic cracked screen overlay appears

A photorealistic cracked-screen overlay appears on the page, making it look like the victim's monitor or phone screen has shattered. Accompanied by a subtle crack sound effect. One of our most panic-inducing effects — use it wisely!

All page elements fall to the bottom

Every element on the page — text, images, buttons, navigation — starts falling toward the bottom of the screen with realistic physics-based animations. The page literally collapses before their eyes. A visually spectacular prank.

The entire page rotates 180 degrees

Rotates the complete webpage 180 degrees, turning everything upside down. Scrolling, clicking, and reading all become hilariously difficult. Victims will literally tilt their head trying to read the content.

The page shakes violently then suddenly stops

The entire page starts shaking violently at random intervals, then abruptly stops as if nothing happened. The unpredictable timing makes victims question whether they're imagining things. Intensity increases over time for maximum confusion.

A realistic Windows BSOD takes over the screen

Displays a pixel-perfect replica of the Windows Blue Screen of Death, complete with error codes, QR codes, and percentage counter. Supports both Windows 10 and Windows 7 styles. One of the most convincing pranks — victims genuinely think their PC has crashed.

The page imperceptibly zooms in over time

The page slowly zooms in at 0.1% per second — so gradual it's nearly impossible to notice in real-time. After a minute, everything is noticeably too large. After two minutes, it's absurd. The perfect slow-burn prank for patient pranksters.

The cursor drifts with an increasing random offset

Adds a random offset to the cursor's click position that increases over time. At first, clicks are slightly off-target. Eventually, clicking anything becomes nearly impossible. Victims will blame their mouse, their mousepad, everything except a prank.

Text on the page subtly changes over time

Randomly swaps, adds, or removes letters in paragraphs every few seconds. The changes are subtle enough that victims will re-read sentences thinking they misread them. Over time, the entire page becomes increasingly garbled.

Typed text gets replaced with random words and emojis

Intercepts keyboard input in text fields and randomly replaces words with typos, unrelated words, and random emojis as the victim types. Perfect for pranking someone who's trying to write an important email or message.

A fake FBI seizure notice takes over the page

Displays a convincing "This website has been seized by the FBI" banner, complete with agency logos and legal jargon. The victim's IP address (harmlessly detected via browser) is displayed for added realism. Maximum panic potential.

A fake camera recording indicator appears

First shows a browser camera permission popup. After a moment, a red recording dot appears in the corner with "RECORDING" text. Victims will frantically check their webcam privacy cover. No actual camera access is requested — it's all CSS!

A fake data breach alert with "leaked" accounts

Shows a realistic "Your passwords were found in a data breach" notification with fake compromised account entries. Mimics the style of browser security warnings. Victims will rush to change all their passwords — prank accomplished!

The browser tab title changes when they look away

When the victim switches to another tab, the page title changes to things like "⚠️ New Messages (3)" or "📹 Recording in progress..." to lure them back. Keeps cycling through increasingly alarming titles.

Every copy-paste becomes "I've been punked!"

Whenever the victim copies text from the page, the clipboard is overwritten with "I've been punked! 🎭 punked.co" instead. They'll paste it into chats, emails, and documents before realizing what happened. Viral prank potential!

A rainbow-trailing Nyan Cat follows the cursor

An animated Nyan Cat follows the victim's cursor everywhere, leaving a persistent rainbow trail across the entire page. The trail doesn't fade, so after a minute of browsing, the page is covered in rainbows. Pure chaos, pure fun.

Every font becomes Comic Sans with pink accents

Forces every single font on the page to Comic Sans MS with pink color accents. Professional websites become comically ugly. Simple, devastating, and universally hated. The design community will weep.

The close button runs away from the cursor

A popup appears on the page with a close button that actively dodges the victim's cursor. Every time they move toward the X, it jumps to a new position. They'll chase it around the screen in frustration while the popup taunts them.

A bouncing DVD logo takes over the screen

The classic DVD screensaver logo bounces around the page, changing color each time it hits an edge. Victims will find themselves hypnotized, watching to see if it hits the corner perfectly. A nostalgic prank for the early 2000s generation.

Sparkly particles follow the cursor everywhere

A trail of sparkling, colorful particles follows the victim's cursor across the page. The particles fade out gradually, creating a magical (and annoying) visual effect reminiscent of early 2000s web design. Fabulous and distracting.

Green falling code covers the entire page

The iconic green falling code from The Matrix cascades down the screen over the page content. Characters continuously rain down in columns, creating a mesmerizing hacker-movie aesthetic. The page beneath gradually becomes obscured.

Every keypress types realistic hacker code

Turns the page into a fake hacking terminal. Every key the victim presses outputs realistic-looking source code at high speed. Feels like they're hacking into a mainframe. Complete with green-on-black terminal aesthetics.

An analog TV static overlay fills the screen

A realistic analog TV static/snow effect covers the page, complete with scan lines and signal interference patterns. The page flickers between content and pure static like a TV losing its signal. Nostalgic and disorienting.

A fake file download starts automatically

Shows a realistic browser download notification with a suspicious-looking file. Progress bar inches along while the filename changes to increasingly alarming names. No actual file is downloaded — it's all visual theater.

A fake virus scan detects "threats" on the page

Displays a convincing fake antivirus scan that "detects" multiple threats on the victim's computer. Complete with threat names, severity levels, and urgent warning messages. A classic social engineering prank that never gets old.

A fake system shutdown sequence begins

Simulates a computer shutdown sequence with "Shutting down..." messages, a progress spinner, and a gradual screen fade to black. Victims will think their computer is dying — until the prank reveal appears on the black screen.

Multiple browser alerts and popups bombard the screen

Triggers a cascade of fake browser alert boxes, notification popups, and warning dialogs. Each one spawns another when closed. The browser appears to be completely out of control. Maximum chaos, maximum laughs.

VHS-style screen distortion and color splits

The page begins glitching with VHS-style distortion effects: RGB color channel splits, horizontal scan lines, random screen jumps, and flickering. The effect intensifies over time, making the page look like it's being viewed on a broken CRT monitor. Creepy and unsettling.

Multiplying Windows XP error dialogs cascade on screen

Classic Windows XP-style error dialog boxes start appearing on screen and multiplying. Clicking OK or the X button spawns even more dialogs. They're draggable, stackable, and increasingly absurd with random error messages. A nostalgic nightmare for anyone who remembers the early 2000s.

A realistic incoming phone call takes over the screen

A full-screen incoming phone call overlay appears with a realistic ringtone generated via Web Audio API. Features a caller avatar, phone number, and accept/decline buttons. Accepting the call reveals the prank. Perfect for startling someone browsing on their phone.

A cascading OS failure unfolds in real-time

A three-phase system failure simulation. Phase 1: slow error messages appear in a terminal log. Phase 2: the screen starts shaking and errors speed up with a red warning flash. Phase 3: rapid-fire errors, scan lines, and a "SYSTEM MELTDOWN" warning banner before a final blackout reveal. The most dramatic effect in the arsenal.

Creepy faces and shadows appear randomly on screen

Ghostly faces, creepy text messages, and dark shadow figures randomly appear and disappear across the page. The screen flickers unpredictably, colors shift ominously, and a dark red vignette sets the mood. Best used in a dark room for maximum scare factor.
