Prank Screens
Prank screens are realistic, harmless fake screens that run in your browser: Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Android update screens, the blue screen of death, a fake hacked screen and fake video meetings. Open one, go fullscreen and press Esc when the joke is over. Nothing is installed or changed on the device.

Prank responsibly
Keep it short and reveal the joke. Never use a fake update or error screen to scare someone into paying money or giving access to a device: that is a scam, not a prank.
Also useful as props
Film makers, streamers, teachers and escape rooms use these screens as believable props, because they look right on camera without touching a real system.
Prank Screens FAQ
Are prank screens safe?
Yes. They are images and animations in a browser tab. They cannot install anything, read files or change settings.
How do I exit a prank screen?
Press Esc, or move the mouse or tap the screen to reveal the close button. Closing the tab also works.
