Be it on the 1st of April, their birthday, upon joining the team, or reaching a significant milestone in their life — it’s always great to spruce up celebrations with some carefully crafted pranks.

Below, you can draw some inspiration from some of the pranks and celebrations we’ve done in Scoro.

#1 Harry Potter

Is your colleague a Harry Potter fan? Say no more! Time to get your crafting gloves on and start printing and cutting ⚡️

#2 Gardening enthusiast

Lovely zen garden right on their desk 🪴

#3 DANGER!

Is there something the person needs to be aware of? Be it lactose intolerance or some allergy, you can help a colleague out by turning their space into a well-guarded danger zone ⛔️

#4 Football is life

Score a prank goal with a mini football pitch ⚽️

#5 Coca-Cola addict

You know that colleague who always drinks Coke for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Go ahead and make their day 🥤

#6 Tin foil

Build a throne out of tin foil and see how long it takes to unwrap it all (in this particular case, it took a year).

#7 Crazy cat lady

Cute pics of cats are always a good idea! 🐈

#8 Optical illusions and puzzles

Something for people interested in riddles 🧩

#9 The wall from Game of Thrones

Get some packing peanuts and build the wall around the table to defend their precious working space! ❄️

#10 Twilight

Team Jacob or Team Edward? With a twist of The Vampire Diaries?
Yes, please! 🧛🏻

#11 Cups

Fill a bunch of cups with some water to outprank even the biggest pranksters🚰

#12 Altar

Build an altar for their favorite band, celebrity, movie, etc. 🕯️

#13 Beach party

Someone just got back from a long vacation? Why not make the transition back to work easier and build them a private beach out of rice 🏖️

#14 Balloons

But be aware! The balloons will start popping at some point, and it’s not too pleasant to the ears! 💥🎈

#15 Minions

Banana 🍌

#16 Favourite colour

You can always go with someone's favorite color and add a little confetti on top to make it extra spicy 🎉

#17 Eye-twitching

Why not fill the space with some mildly infuriating pictures? 👀

#18 Boss Baby

Something for the manager 🧑‍✈️

#19 Frozen

For that one colleague who is always cold ☃️

#20 Plastic wrap

To wrap it up (pun intended), there’s also the good old cling film.
