Quirky App Of The Day: Scary Prank
by Kathryn Zane
October 23, 2011
This app is a little old, but I thought it deserved a feature considering the time of year. That and it does it's job, and it does it well. Scary Prank is in fact a startling prank that you can play on your friends and family. Just open the app and tap the play button. The app will bring up an Idiot Quiz screen and invite your victim to play. There's a list of red numbers that scroll across the screen and scroll back to the beginning. Then, the app prompts you to decide if the numbers are the same. After a few passes of numbers, a freaky voodoo, monster face pops up and screams while flashing black and white in the background. Did I ruin it for you? No, not really.
I was prepared. I knew what was coming. What happened? I screamed like a little girl and sent my husband running to find out if I was in need of an exorcism. I threw my phone, which was still attached to the cable, and covered my eyes like the wuss that I am. That was all with complete preparation. I can only imagine what would happen to someone who really thought that they were taking an idiot quiz. I actually plan to find out very soon through the use of unsuspecting brothers and sisters.
I was going to take a picture of the face that jumps out at you for the post, and once again, it freaked me out. I didn't scream again, thank heavens, because the neighbors might have thought that I was a victim of an ax murder. It still surprised and bothered me, though. After reviewing the app I need to evaluate if it does its job, I have to rank this one with a solid five. Why did I not put the picture in the post? I'm cruel. That's why. If anyone wants to know what it's like, they're going to have to do it. Happy Halloween!
Scary Prank is an iPhone app available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
