pranksters
Hoax-loving tricksters nearby
Pranksters are people who play pranks—mischievous tricks or practical jokes meant to surprise, embarrass, or amuse.
The term suggests someone who makes a habit of such behavior rather than a one-time joker: The office pranksters filled his desk drawers with gelatin.
Prankster carries a lighter connotation than trickster, implying harmless fun rather than malicious deception.
