In 'The Courier', you play as a contractor courier who delivers parcels to earn enough money to live. Each time you are assigned a parcel you can choose whether or not to accept it. When you receive a parcel you can view the senders contact details, the address label details, proposed delivery cost and a declaration form of the contents inside the parcel. Based on this information, you can choose to accept and deliver the parcel and earn the money, or reject it. If a parcel that you have accepted for delivery is for criminal purposes (e.g a gun or fraudulent documents), then your number of Criminal Deliveries will increase. If the number of Criminal Deliveries is too high, the police will try to arrest you and you may need to bribe them by spending some of your hard earned cash. If the parcel that you have accepted is legitimate, the cost of delivery is added to your wage, and if you reject the parcel, you will not earn anything. The primary objective of the game is to meet the money goal for the day (time limit of 'one day' in game equals 30 mins real time), so if you reject too many parcels you may not earn enough money. A highscore board will display the top players who earnt the most money in a given day, and overall.
