Before you start

What to know before this case

Can I start The Wicker Signal right away?

Not in its normal start window right now. The case stays visible, but the status stays explicit instead of pretending availability.

Are the price and reviews already real here?

Yes. Price, reviews, duration, and CTA status all come from the same released case version.

Why does this page still not jump straight into mission?

The actual game start only unlocks after a valid booking. This page helps teams compare cases and choose the right one.
