Hello,

The CREEK team is anticipating that the set will be finished by September, and we are still looking for mirrors all around the country! Please let us know if you'd be interested in mirroring the set. Please note that the high school version (CREEK) is a separate set from the college version (CREEK+), and high schoolers will only be allowed to play the former.
