Looking for a funny, harmless prank to pull on your friends? The fake broken screen prank is a classic! Thanks to tools like White Screen Test's Broken Screen Mode, you can make it look like your friend’s screen is cracked without causing any actual damage. Here’s how to pull it off and share a good laugh.

Wait for the Perfect Moment

Timing is everything. Wait until your friend leaves their device unattended. This could be during a coffee run, a bathroom break, or when they step away for a moment.

Load the Fake Broken Screen

Using their device, go to Broken Screen Mode. This site displays a fake broken screen effect that looks super convincing.

Make It Look Real

For added realism:

• Go Full Screen: Press F11 (or whatever shortcut hides the browser interface on their device).
• Lock Their Inputs: Disable the keyboard or touchpad if you can, making it harder for them to “fix” it right away.
• Add Some Drama: Play a quick “glass breaking” sound effect for extra shock value.

Set the Scene

After setting it up, call your friend over and pretend to drop something near their device—or act like you accidentally bumped it. Then step back and watch their reaction when they see the “damage.”

Reveal the Prank

Let them sweat it out for a moment, but don’t drag it on too long. Reveal it’s all fake before they start panicking or trying to “fix” their screen. Trust us, the laughter and relief will be worth it.

Tips to Make It Even Funnier

• Get a Partner in Crime: Team up with another friend to make it more believable.
• Record Their Reaction: With their permission afterward, of course! These moments can be priceless to look back on.
• Switch Things Up: If they catch on, you can always try a realistic crack sticker for their device next time.

A Quick Note

Keep in mind that pranks should always be fun, not mean-spirited. Avoid pulling this on someone in a stressful situation or if you know they’re overly protective of their devices. The goal is to share a laugh, not cause a meltdown!
