Fake Broken Screen
A full-screen shattered-glass overlay that looks alarmingly real from across the room. Pick a background, tap, and hand the device to your victim. Completely harmless — tap or Esc ends it.
Works best in full screen · tap or Esc to exit
A harmless prank, done right
The cracked-glass effect is drawn as a lightweight vector graphic — under 5 KB, no downloads, no permissions, nothing to install. It renders on top of a solid background of your choice, so it works equally well on a phone handed to a friend or a TV in the living room. Nothing touches the real display: it is purely an image.
For maximum effect: open the prank before handing over the device, keep a straight face, and let them "discover" it. When the moment has landed, one tap reveals the truth. If a device is actually cracked, a white screen test or black screen test shows the real damage clearly — handy before a repair quote.
Real crack symptoms (lines, black blobs, touch dead zones) are a different matter — if your screen is genuinely damaged, start with the lines-on-screen diagnosis to see what a repair involves.
Fake broken screen FAQ
How do I prank someone with a fake broken screen?+
Open this page on their phone or laptop, tap a background, and hand the device back as if nothing happened. The full screen shows a convincing cracked-glass effect. Tap or press Esc to end the prank.
Does the fake crack damage my screen?+
No. It is just a static image rendered by the browser — no touch input is blocked, nothing is installed and nothing touches the display hardware. Exit any time with Esc or a tap.
How do I exit the fake broken screen?+
Tap anywhere on the screen (phone) or press Esc (computer). On devices without fullscreen support, tapping still closes the overlay instantly.
