Meet up, choose your ball and event with friends and you are transported into a virtual ecosystem together. You get there bay using a VR headset. The balls can be an instrument where the movement of the ball produces music and your avatar can have special abilities and superpowers!

All the food in the arena is vegetarian such as sushi, seaweed and ramen noodle soup!
