Pranks are the perfect way to relieve stress, create hilarious social media content for your company page, and showcase a healthy workplace culture. Sharing 7 office prank ideas, that will keep everyone on their toes—because you never know what’s coming next!
Here are Seven hilarious, harmless, and slightly savage office pranks to pull on your colleagues. Nothing illegal. Nothing too wild. Just enough to make them question their reality—and maybe yours.
Pro Tip: Make sure your boss has a sense of humour—or at least isn’t looking when you pull these off.
The “You’ve Been Fired” Letter – From Indian Post!
How to Execute: Team up with their spouse (evil genius level unlocked). Have them deliver a fake Indian Post letter saying, “Due to budget cuts, your services are no longer required. Please collect your belongings and leave immediately.”
Why does this work? In the digital age, who expects a firing letter via snail mail? The sheer panic before they realize it’s a prank is priceless.
👉 Bonus: Ask their partner to record the reaction on a hidden camera. Don’t take it too far — reveal the prank before they call their lawyer or cry.
The ‘Access Denied’ Special
How To Execute: Get hold of their entry/access card (with consent from IT or Admin, of course!) and reprogram it to be temporarily invalid. Watch them struggle at the door or the lift while you casually sip chai.
Why Does This Work? In most Indian offices, access cards = job status. If the card doesn’t beep green, panic mode activates instantly.
They’ll start checking emails frantically for termination letters, text admin in confusion, and may even hesitate to call HR, fearing the worst.
The ‘IPL Cheerleader Food Delivery’
How To Execute: Order their regular lunch, but arrange for a friend dressed as an IPL cheerleader (pom-poms and all) to deliver it. The louder, the better. Bonus if they walk in with a full swagger, chanting, ‘Paneer Tikka for Prakash!’ in stadium style.
Why Does This Work? Because no one — literally no one — expects their butter naan to arrive with backflips and jazz hands.
We’re used to seeing food delivery guys in uniform, half-tired and polite. But a cheerleader with food? That’s chaos. And it’s genius.
Also, cheerleaders are known to deliver cheers hot, not biryani! 🍗🔥
Restricted Area: Crime Scene at the Cabin
How To Execute: Put up a “NO ENTRY – CRIME SCENE” sign outside their cabin or cubicle.
Add yellow caution tape (borrow it from the décor team or do a DIY with chart paper).
Use flour or chalk to outline a “dead body” on the floor. Maybe even drop a fake weapon nearby for added flair.
Top it off with a note: “Under HR investigation. Do not enter.”
Why Does This Work? Because suddenly, the office turns into a CID episode. Colleagues passing by will slow down and whisper. And best of all? The poor prank victim might walk in and wonder if they’re the suspect or the victim.
Congratulations on Your Promotion! (Not Really)
How to Execute: Draft a super official-looking email: “Congratulations! You’ve been promoted to ‘Senior Excel Sheet Analyst’ with a 200% workload increase (salary hike pending).”
Watch As: They celebrate for 2.3 seconds before realizing it’s a scam.
The “Celebrity Desk Invasion”
Replace all their desk photos — spouse, kids, Ganpati idols — with glamorous images of Ranveer Singh or Rashmika Mandanna.
Wait for them to sit down and question their entire reality.
Why Does This Work? It’s subtle, surreal, and hysterical. A perfect blend of confusion and disbelief — just enough to make them laugh, not scream.
Mysterious Parcel! With Surprising Contents
Send them a parcel at their desk, sealed like it came straight from Flipkart. Inside? Bright pink boxers, a pair of lacy underwear, or a “How to Talk Dirty” handbook.
Guaranteed Outcome: Their face turn the same shade as the office fire alarm.
