Citizens Call for Perfect Deliveries

Courier throwing newspapersSpecial Edition

Inside: exclusive route pics capture the morning misdeeds

Every working day begins at the local newspaper distribution center. You do not follow a track. You learn a city. Players are free to navigate however they want — suburbs, downtown, old town stairways, industrial crossings, hillside drops, city center.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Pick up the day's newspaper supply at the distribution center. Carrying capacity depends on your bag and vehicle.

  2. 02

    Review

    Check subscriber locations, priority deliveries, weather, traffic, and available side jobs before you roll out.

  3. 03

    Plan

    Choose a route through the city. Follow suggested navigation — or invent a shortcut nobody else knows.

  4. 04

    Ride

    Travel on a bicycle and later unlock courier vehicles. Pedal, sprint, drift, bunny hop, jump curbs, cut alleys.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Throw papers at doors, porches, mailboxes, balconies, boxes, and business entrances. Accuracy is the whole job.

  6. 06

    Return

    Finish the route and get back to the center before the shift ends. Performance is scored on the dock.

Accuracy matters

Players do not always need to stop. While moving, aim and throw toward doors, porches, mailboxes, balconies, newspaper boxes, and business entrances.

Throwing depends on movement speed + throwing angle + charge power + distance. A perfectly placed newspaper is a Perfect Delivery. Chain them into a Delivery Combo — the higher the combo, the larger the shift bonus.

  • Land in the street
  • Hit a window
  • Fall into water
  • Land on a roof
  • Hit pedestrians — complaints follow
Throwing a newspaper

Vehicles

Begin with a basic bicycle. Progression unlocks machines that change how you plan a route.

Courier vehicles

City Bike

Balanced beginner vehicle. The first machine every courier learns.

Road Bike

High speed with weaker off-road handling. Built for asphalt lines.

BMX

Better jumps and tight urban movement. Alleys, curbs, stairs.

Cargo Bike

Carries significantly more newspapers. Heavier, hungrier routes.

Electric Bike

Higher acceleration and easier climbing. Hillside's quiet cheat code.

Courier Scooter

Fast but harder to thread through narrow shortcuts.

Weather is a mechanic

Rain

Reduced traction and visibility. Papers go limp if you miss the porch.

Wind

Changes newspaper throwing physics. Charge longer. Aim lower.

Fog

Reduces visibility. Learn the blocks by muscle, not by sight.

Storm

Hazards and blocked roads. Yesterday's line is closed.

Clear Morning

Ideal conditions for speed-focused routes. Go greedy.
