A character is kidnapped and told that something nasty will happen unless they go somewhere. It turns out to be a Surprise Party. An elaborate Practical Joke. Often the end game of Friendly Scheming; also often a subtrope of Kidnapped by an Ally. Contrast with Shock Party, when the "Scary" part is all too real. | |

Done memorably on Castle when Richard Castle, laid up in a wheelchair with a broken leg, is convinced he witnessed a murder in the apartment across the street. Beckett, growing fed up with Castle insisting he saw a murder, goes to the apartment, only to have the tenant grab her and pull a knife on her before the lights go out. Castle meets Esposito and Ryan outside the apartment and charges in...just as the lights turn on to reveal the surprise party. | |

Featured in The Simpsons. In "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind", an episode reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Homer's journey to track down the secret of his erased memories lead to a surprise party on a party boat. Even stranger was that this was entirely self-inflicted. Homer accidentally found out about the party early, and so arranged events so that he would eventually find his way to the party boat after taking a drink that wiped his memories of the event save for specific bits that caused him to come to the wrong conclusions. |

A short variant occurs in The Curse of Chalion: On a leisurely ride in the countryside, Cazaril and the princess he's working for are surprised by a band of robbers who turn out to be mostly young nobles meeting them for an unexpected picnic. The bit that scares Cazaril, a veteran of several wars, is how close he came to killing some of those idiots before he caught on. | |

Subverted in 3rd Rock from the Sun, when a surprise birthday party is planned for Dick (at his own request — he's a weird character), and conflicts with a kidnapper's plans. (Actually, the kidnapper wants to cut his head open to find the transceiver that is really buried in Harry's head.) The Solomons are all tied up in the basement and learn what's going on, but guests keep arriving for the party and assume that the kidnappers are "catering", until being knocked out and tied up themselves. | |

When you arrive, a bunch of suspicious characters with gangster-style nicknames greet you as a fellow conspirator. Turns out it's a surprise birthday party ... the guy who's been bragging about how sharp his knife is has been using it to slice bread, and the guy talking about ropes and hanging has been hanging the party decorations. | |

After her first few attempts fail because Monk figures out she's planning a party and refuses to go with her, in the middle of a case, she has someone follow them, gets the captain to fake a warning about them being followed and in danger, convinces Monk to hide in a dumpster, getting them wheeled into the surprise party. Monk (and probably the viewers) never saw it coming for once. | |

In Ao Oni 3.0, this trope is cruelly subverted. The hero, Hiroshi, is suddenly attacked by the monster that has been chasing him and murdering all his friends, only for the Oni's head to pop off, revealing that it was a guy in a suit all along and that the whole ordeal was just a setup for a surprise birthday party. Pity that this turns out to be just a dream, and his friends really are dead. | |

Used a couple of times in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Played with in "Surprise." The Computer Science teacher, Jenny Calendar, whom the audience has just learned has a hidden agenda, intercepts Buffy on her way to a meeting with Giles, and tells Buffy he's asked her to take Buffy to meet him elsewhere. The audience is led to believe that Jenny is up to no good, but it turns out she's just taking Buffy to her surprise party. Though as Buffy runs into some vampires on the way, it's something of an inverted trope. Just as she's about to have sex with her boyfriend Riley, Buffy is railroaded under threat of fire-breathing demons to her surprise 19th birthday party. |

In the white chamber, the comedic ending which requires you to get six chalk marks (six good deeds) to obtain. As Sarah leaves the White Chamber, she returns to the ship via the vent duct only to see everyone shouting "Surprise!". It turns out it was her birthday and her surprise was being scared to death. Sarah and the crew make no mention whatsoever of the horrors she just encountered (or the fact that she was impaled at one point and electrocuted at another) and sit down to have cake. The ship is then unexpectedly blown apart by an asteroid, but instead of an explosion, a bubble appears that says "BANG". | |
