Prank Wars: Family Edition is a real-life prank party game for the whole family. Think a gamified April Fools' Day.

Choose a prize and a timeframe, whether that's a weekend, a week, or longer, then deal out the prank cards and start pranking in real life.

Each card gives you a secret, harmless prank to pull off on someone in the game. Wild Cards let you invent your own. But be careful. Every prank you pull gets scored, so make it count.

Highest score wins the prize and is crowned the Ultimate Prank Champion!

Favourite Asked Questions

Yes. Every prank is designed to be harmless, family-friendly, and kind, with clear rules to prevent cruelty, damage, or embarrassment.

Is it suitable for younger kids, and can I control which pranks are included?

Every prank card is rated for difficulty from 1 to 5, so you can easily set aside anything that's not right for your group before you start.

How long does a game of Prank Wars take to play?

Not a one-sitting game. Deal the cards, agree a timeframe as a group (most families go for a weekend or longer), then spend that time secretly pulling off your pranks. The build-up is half the fun.

Is this a good gift, and what occasions does it suit?

Yes. It comes in a nice box that's ready for gifting and works brilliantly for Christmas, birthdays, holidays, caravan trips, sleepovers, or just livening up a quiet weekend at home.

What makes Prank Wars worth it?

46 durable, beautifully made cards built to last well beyond one game night. Since no two rounds ever play out the same way, most families get dozens of games out of a single box, so it keeps earning its place on the shelf long after you've opened it.

Who should I play this with?

Prank Wars is built for trusted family and close friends who are in on the joke. Pranks should only be played on those playing the game.

How many people can play?

Prank Wars is designed for 2–8 players, making it perfect for families, siblings, or mixed-age groups.

Do players need phones or screens?

No screens required. Prank Wars is a real-life, screen-free game. Phones are optional if you want to capture reactions, but never required.
