Overview

Uh oh, it's that time of the year again. It's April Fool’s!

That time where we all get a little suspicious of our co-workers and friends, and when we plot our delicious revenge for last year's pranks. We love good pranks and want to see what you've got planned for this year. Just make sure that your prank is good-natured - mean-spirited or hurtful pranks will be rejected.

This year we want to see more than just jokes. We're opening up the April Fool’s Contest to all manner of silliness, so share with us your puns and play on words, too!

As always this contest ends a few days after April Fool’s, which will allow you to keep your Instructable a secret until after you've pulled it off.
What devilish fun have you got up your sleeve?
