Smatagee Funny Egg: Cricket Hidden Noise Maker Prank – Random Chirping Sounds for Gags at Home or Office
The Smatagee Funny Egg is a small prank device that produces three different cricket chirp sounds at random intervals. Once switched on, the hidden noise maker waits 2 to 15 minutes before emitting a sound, making it nearly impossible to locate. It's designed for practical jokes on friends, family, or coworkers in homes or offices.
How the Cricket Chirping Works
After turning on the Funny Egg, it enters a standby mode. The sound plays randomly with intervals between 2 and 15 minutes. This unpredictability is key to the prank: victims hear a chirp but can't find the source. The device cycles through three distinct cricket chirps, so the sound changes each time, adding to the confusion.
Easy to Hide and Use
Just activate the noise maker and conceal it somewhere – under a desk, inside a plant, behind a curtain, or in a drawer. Its compact size helps it stay out of sight. No setup or extra tools are needed; the batteries come pre-installed. Slide the switch, hide the egg, and wait for the fun to begin.
Battery Life and Power
Three LR44 button batteries are already inside the device. They can power continuous operation for 5 to 7 days, and the batteries themselves have a shelf life of 5 to 6 years. As the brand notes, the victim's sanity will likely give out long before the batteries do.
Other Sounds from the Funny Egg Series
Smatagee offers other versions of the Funny Egg with different noises: Meow Hear This (cat sounds), Bleepin' Battery (simulated smoke detector beeps), and Yeww Farted (fart sounds). Each uses the same random-interval mechanism in a similarly small egg-shaped case.
Is This Prank Suitable for the Office or Home?
Yes. The random chirping is more amusing than harmful, so it works well in casual work environments or at home with friends. Just ensure no one has a genuine fear of crickets or repeated unexpected noises. The low volume (not specified but typical for such devices) means it won't cause real disruption unless hidden very close to someone.
