Captain Nova Needs Rescuing at Liberty Promenade This Holiday
Families Can Crack Codes, Follow Clues and Rescue Captain Nova During Liberty Promenade’s Space-Themed Adventure
Cape Town, 22 September 2026: Liberty Promenade is inviting families and young explorers to take part in a school holiday rescue mission after Captain Nova becomes stranded in space following a critical failure aboard his spacecraft. Participants will be tasked with following the clues and helping to bring the missing captain home.
From Friday 25 September to Sunday 4 October 2026, Liberty Promenade will transform the former cinema space in the Food District into a futuristic space-themed experience called Space Rescue: Your Mission Awaits, an immersive school holiday adventure that challenges families and friends to work together to save the mission.
Once aboard, teams will navigate a series of space-themed rooms, crack codes, uncover hidden clues, and complete challenges to bring the spacecraft’s systems back online. Along the way, they will also need to follow the trail left by Captain Nova and figure out how to bring the missing captain home safely.
Crack the Codes and Collect the Stars
Teamwork, problem-solving, and quick thinking will all come into play as young explorers make their way through the spacecraft. The adventure will continue in the Meteor Room, where hidden QR codes will reveal Energy Stars. Collecting these will give explorers the chance to unlock instant prizes, while the biggest challenge will be finding Captain Nova.
Those who successfully complete the mission and find the missing captain will also stand a chance to win a share of R6,000 in Liberty Promenade vouchers. After all that intergalactic problem-solving, successful astronauts may also be rewarded with a surprise ice cream treat from Two Scoops of Happiness.
Prepare for Liftoff
With futuristic décor, interactive challenges and plenty of opportunities to capture the adventure, Space Rescue will offer families an imaginative way to spend time together during the September school holidays.
The experience will run daily from 11:30 to 16:30 from Friday 25 September to Sunday 4 October, with 20-minute time slots available at R20 per person. Bookings can be made at the activation area. Both cash and card payments will be accepted.
Families and friends can assemble their teams and put their observation, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test as they attempt to complete the rescue. The question awaiting each crew is simple: can they find Captain Nova and save the mission in time?
