OUT & ABOUT: Playful April Fools’ date night spots in Singapore
- Smash things up at The Fragment Room – Release some tension and have a smashing time (literally)! Spend your date breaking plates, glasses, and electronics in a safe environment. Location: The Fragment Room, 490 MacPherson Rd
PRANK IDEA: Bring something small that your partner treasures (but have a fake version of it!) and pretend you’re about to smash it before revealing the joke.
- Comedy night for a Laugh-Out-Loud date – What better way to celebrate April Fools’ than with a night full of jokes? Head to a stand-up comedy show or an improv night and laugh until your stomach hurts. Suggested Locations: The Lemon Stand Comedy Club and Comedy Masala at Hero’s
PRANK IDEA: Convince your partner that you’ve signed them up for an open-mic performance!
- Try a “fake” food experience – Trick your taste buds with unique or unusual menu items! Find a restaurant with weird food combos or surprise your date with dishes they didn’t expect. Suggested Locations: ANDSOFORTH (immersive dining), Swensen’s (for their “chicken drumstick” ice cream)
PRANK IDEA: Order Swensen’s “chicken drumstick” ice cream without telling your partner and see how long it takes them to realize it’s actually dessert!
- Go on a “wrong direction” adventure – Hop on public transport without a plan and take turns deciding random stops to explore. Who knows where you’ll end up?
PRANK IDEA: Pretend you have a carefully planned itinerary, then “accidentally” lead your partner to a completely random, unexpected location.
AT HOME: Cosy & silly April Fools’ date night ideas
- Cook a “prank” dinner together – Get creative in the kitchen by making dishes that look like something else! Try mashed potato “ice cream,” meatloaf “cake” or sweet sushi made from fruit and rice krispies.
PRANK IDEA: Serve your partner a regular meal but swap one ingredient for something bizarre (like salt instead of sugar in their drink!).
- April Fools’ game night – Play trick-based board games like Exploding Kittens, Werewolf or Cards Against Humanity.
PRANK IDEA: Secretly change the rules mid-game and act as if they were always that way.
- Fake movie marathon – Start watching movies with misleading plot summaries and see how long it takes your partner to realise they’ve been tricked! Example: Tell them you’re watching a rom-com and put on a horror movie instead.
PRANK IDEA: Swap the audio on a familiar movie with a foreign dub and act like nothing’s wrong.
- Pull harmless pranks on each other – Set up some fun and harmless pranks at home, like swapping sugar for salt in coffee, filling their shoes with tissue or faking a Wi-Fi outage to “force” a cosy, no-phone night in.
PRANK IDEA: Download a fake “broken screen” app on their phone and pretend you dropped it.
