One of Canada's most beloved activities is coming to an end. Laser Quest is closing its doors for good, citing the pandemic as the reason it can't stay afloat.

The laser tag company broke the news in a statement on September 15.

Laser Quest

Laser Quest has been a staple of Canadian childhoods for 27 years, with locations all over Ontario and across the country.

The chain had briefly reopened during Stage 3 in Canada, with enhanced cleaning measures and physical distancing.

Laser Quest has one final message for its customers:

"As we bid farewell, we at Laser Quest want to thank each and every one of you for your support throughout the years."
