Top 5 Office Prank Ideas

Are you new to the office prank game? Maybe you’re just looking for a few new ideas to spice up an ongoing battle of wits in your own workplace. Or, perhaps, you just need a couple of good ideas for getting even with that one co-worker that just seems to get you ever time.

Whichever the case may be, here’s a look at my top 5 all time favorite office prank ideas:

The Keyboard Re-Do

While this one won’t work for touch typists, it’s always hilarious to see the look of utter shock and confusion on someone’s face when you swap all the letters on their keyboard around, and they have absolutely no clue where they go. For added fun, make sure that you spell out a fun message (your name, perhaps?) in the middle of the newly designed board.

The Cube Fill

From packing peanuts to balloons or newspapers, filling someone’s cubicle with something—anything—is a classic prank that always gets a laugh.

The Great Glue Down

Armed with a couple of bottles of glue, it’s always a laugh to secure someone’s desk contents firmly in place. Of course, there are some rules to abide by if you’re going to pull this one off. First of all, make copies of all documents, and glue the copies, and NOT the original—you don’t want to be destructive! And if your coworker has a nice desk, skip this one, please.

Build a Better Mousetrap

Taking the ball out of a coworker’s mouse can provide you with hours of entertainment. But for a more sophisticated take on the same concept, why not reset the settings for the mouse, and give them a super fast cursor, or some other rascally rodent capability?

The Disappearing Hallway

My favorite office prank of all time still has to be the fake wall that was erected by a boss to completely fool his employees. It was so realistic… the look of confusion on everyone’s faces made it completely priceless. I would LOVE to be able to pull that one off some day!

Anyone have their own favorite ideas?
