PaperRoute turns the morning paper round into a browser game
A free browser game about steering a self-pedalling bicycle, throwing papers, dodging hazards, and keeping a neighbourhood subscribed for seven mornings.
Field notes
PaperRoute models the newspaper round as a seven-day arcade campaign: subscribers are both the objective and the week’s health bar, while perfect mornings expand the next day’s route and missed deliveries shrink it. The opening route contains 40 houses, 10 subscribers, and three lives. Players can steer and brake with the keyboard or touch controls, throw papers at lit mailboxes, and use them against the pursuing dog; the page also exposes route grades and a leaderboard with synthetic launch scores.
