A prank is a playful or mischievous trick or practical joke played on someone with the intention of surprising, confusing, or amusing them. Pranks can range from harmless and light-hearted to elaborate and sometimes even mildly disruptive. They often involve creativity and a sense of humor, aiming to provoke laughter or bemusement rather than harm or distress. Pranks are typically carried out in good spirits among friends or colleagues, although they should always be considerate of others' feelings and boundaries.
