In an announcement on social media, Colchester City Council said: "An incredible Laser Quest arena is coming to the former Debenhams in Colchester.

"A futuristic combat zone will be built on the top floor alongside a ninja tag area!"

Back in December it was announced an indoor electric go-kart track and Boom Battle Bar would also be coming as part of the renovation.

Flip Out will also be building a trampoline park on the ground floor of the building. 

Colchester City Council has confirmed that the changes to the former retail store will be coming soon.
