Prank Cube Idea

So I had an idea a while back to make a 3x3 that when you turn a certain side the whole cube explodes. I haven't really thought of how this would work but if anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them! This is my 100th message btw.

Edit: if this already exists please tell me.

Maybe you can make one side extremely low, that just pops when you turn it. Or if you have the time you could modify the internals and making one piece's stamp having a huge protuberance, which makes pression on the mechanism.
These are only ideas, I don't really know how to mod cubes.
Great idea though.

My first ever 4x4 (no-name brand I bought on eBay) did that.

A safer version might use a loose face held by a small magnetic latch, so one turn releases it without sending hard pieces across the room. Testing it first with a cheap cube—and tethering the pieces with thin elastic—would also make the prank easier to reset.

Just take out a screw on a magnetic cube

That sound like a good idea, thanks.
