Reminds me of the episode of Star Trek: TNG where everyone basically got drugged by putting on some sort of VR mind-virus.
_____
Season: 5
Episode: 6 (1991)
Plot in a nutshell:
The crew gets hooked on a headset “game” that shows a little funnel and ball in VR. When the player mentally moves the ball into the funnel, it gives a huge dopamine-like pleasure hit. Pretty soon the whole ship is addicted and basically hypnotized, following orders from the people distributing the game.
Who saves the day:
Wesley Crusher (visiting from Starfleet Academy)
Robin Lefler (Ensign with the “Lefler’s Laws”)
They figure out the game is a mind-control device and expose it.

It's a try-not-to-laugh-challenge to find noticers.
