Once you decide on one, PM me and I’ll put together really pro looking graphics for you. I pranked my brother-in-law last year with what appeared to be the complete collection of Jon&Kate+8 episodes.
There are lots of real, actual Barbie games for the DS and 3DS. Amazon has them, as well as your local Toys R’ Us, I’m sure.
I mean, you don’t even have to fake the box art… the games are cheap enough that you could just buy a copy of Barbie Horse Adventure Riding Camp and use the real box.
Well, here’s what I came up with…
I love the description on the back. I want to hear the interview with Bansky’s accountant!
Call Of Duty: Quartermaster Corps.
Battleship: Deck Swabber. Order Now and get the Head Cleaner Expansion Pack.
Well done…hats off!

With the TSA Security Check Expansion Pack. Will you get leukemia from the radiation emitted by the full-body scanners? Will the $7.50 an hour TSA goon remember to put on a rubber glove as she gropes your junk and gives you a cavity search? Will that non-compliant 2-inch penknife at the bottom of your carry-on bag earn you a gory death in a hail of bullets?

Well, I gave them the fake game. For those of you who didn’t check out the pix I posted, what I came up with was “Hello Kitty Learns About Fine Art.” I made sure to use a lot of pink on the fake box I made. Inside the box was the real game, “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.”
They reacted pretty strongly to the fake game, but there were no tears or rending of garments. It was just a wide-eyed “HELLO KITTY?! WHAT?!” I think they got so much other stuff they figured one crappy game didn’t matter. Then, my older son noticed I had the fake cover oriented at a right angle to most other games, so he smoked out the fake very quickly. Gotta hand it to the little guy, that is something I didn’t think to check. The box did come out very convincing otherwise. I slit the plastic cover carefully with a razor blade and inserted the fake cover under the plastic, then sealed it up neatly with some Scotch tape.
However, they did hate the fake box enough that they insisted on taking the real cartridge out, which led to the cartridge being temporarily lost, so they weren’t able to play the game on the long drive to my mom’s for Xmas dinner. I guess I can count that as a partial victory.
