CTRL V
It's simple: VR is fun, easy and accessible. Unlike conventional gaming, VR offers a new way to play together with your family, friends and your mortal enemies! Most games only require the use of one or two buttons, so if you can flick a light switch while flushing the toilet, you can play VR! Ctrl V is the ideal venue to host your next birthday party, team building event, corporate event, or just a simple night out with your friends!
