Note: You cannot use your Personal Vehicle Thrust, but the rental Pizza Boy used during Pizza Delivery copied the performance of your personal Pizza Boy. Likewise, owning a personal Thrust may improve the performance of the rental Thrust.

About the Time Limit

The initial time limit when starting Paper Route is 5 minutes. Each completed delivery adds 1 minute. Since the 10th delivery is the final one, no additional minute is added. Therefore, all deliveries must be completed within a total of 14 minutes. Completing each delivery in an average of 1 minute and 24 seconds will allow all 10 deliveries to be completed. If the timer reaches zero, the job will end even if deliveries are still in progress.




Rewards

  • $1,250 for each completed delivery.

※1: Tip = remaining minutes × $1,000. Remaining time is rounded to the nearest minute in 30-second increments. For example, 5:35 counts as 6 minutes, while 5:10 counts as 5 minutes. 5:30 counts as 6 minutes.
