Ctrl V Bear

Ctrl V is located in a convenient retail plaza off Fox Hunt Drive in Bear, Delaware — a spot that’s easily reachable from New Castle, Newark, and Wilmington, making it a central hub for virtual reality entertainment in New Castle County.

Step Into Another World — Literally

Ctrl V is Delaware’s only dedicated virtual reality arcade, and it offers something genuinely different from your typical night out. Instead of sitting on a couch with a controller, you step into a 10×10 foot VR station, strap on an HTC Vive Pro headset, and find yourself inside the game. The technology is tethered — not wireless — which keeps players safely anchored to their station while they explore immersive digital worlds. From boxing in the ring with Creed: Rise to Glory to defending against waves of zombies in Arizona Sunshine, the experience is as physical as it is visual. First-timers watch a short explainer video before jumping in, so even if you’ve never touched VR, you’ll feel comfortable within minutes.

Over 50 Games and Virtual Escape Rooms

The game library at Ctrl V is impressively deep, with more than 50 single-player and multiplayer titles to choose from. You can go head-to-head with friends in Blaston, team up in Elven Assassin, or take a relaxing virtual trip through Google Earth. The arcade also features virtual escape rooms — cooperative puzzle challenges where groups of up to six players work together to solve mysteries and complete missions within a set time. Since players can switch between games freely during their session, no two visits feel the same. New titles are added regularly, so returning guests always have something fresh to try.

A Space Built for Groups and Celebrations

The 4,000-square-foot facility houses 16 individual VR stations, each with its own monitor so spectators can watch the action unfold. This setup makes Ctrl V a natural fit for birthday parties, team-building outings, corporate events, and even bachelor or bachelorette celebrations. A private party room with tables, seating for up to 32 guests, and a full-sized refrigerator is available for groups who book six or more stations. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks (excluding alcohol), which makes customizing the celebration easy. The venue also offers special group discounts that apply automatically when booking multiple stations.

Friendly Staff Who Make It Easy

The team at Ctrl V i

s known for being approachable, patient, and genuinely excited to help guests have a great time. Whether it’s a group of kids trying VR for the first time or a corporate team looking for a unique bonding activity, the staff takes care of setup, game recommendations, and troubleshooting so visitors can focus on having fun. Parents often note that they can relax in the lounge area while the staff keeps the kids engaged and supervised — a small but meaningful detail that makes the arcade feel welcoming for families.

More Than Just Gaming — A Community Hub

Ctrl V goes beyond simply renting out VR stations. The arcade runs a loyalty program for returning customers, offers free 10-minute VR demos on weekdays for those who want to try before they book, and provides a senior discount every Tuesday for guests aged 55 and older. The location has also partnered with local charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware, hosting holiday drives and giving back to the community. Whether you’re looking for a fun date night, a kid-friendly weekend activity, or a memorable venue for a special event, Ctrl V offers a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
