the problem is : who will be the trapper and who will be the trapped ? 
📚 Which opening is the best suited for tricky style of play?
Sort:
for example the Icelandic gambit:1.e4d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.c4 e6!? this gambit is good if you know it

Players at our level don't have "a style". We just have weaknesses. Rather than studying openings our efforts should go into:
1. Avoiding blunders and oversights
2. Learning and practicing lots of tactics
3. Learning basic endgames: attitude, general methods, some exact positions
4. Playing over a large variety of master games
and only then studying openings.
And when we are strong enough for studying openings we should study how to handle the variety of middle game positions they can lead to.

Indeed
Black has more options to trick oponents than white. My favorites for that purpose are Modern Benoni, Latvian Gambit (leads to a very wild game) and even Lasker Trap if white takes the bait.
Good and quirky options for white are going straight out for the Fried Liver Attack, Légal's Mate (if your opponent is not familiar with it) and the Centrefork trick (works for both sides).
In general, a "tricky" gameplay involves lots of wild sacrifices, a solid calculation of tactics and even misdirection if your opponent is under a tight time control. It really doesn't pay off in longer games or against much higher-rated opponents. Studying Mikhail Tal's games is generally a good idea if you want to play this way.

Do you have something in your face? So many bumps cannot be healthy.
Generalizing hugely and speaking for black, the Grunfeld against d4 and the Sicilian Dragon against e4 (second and third moves by white permitting) produce some tricky and tactically rich positions. Have used both a lot during my chess playing life.
