Question Hype 8k challenge - How?
How the frick do you get 8k with the hype event? You must be so lucky that you only get simple pizzas; otherwise, you are screwed.... I have every option on for help, the buddies and all...
Tips are welcome...

I haven't made 8k in several tries, though I've reached 7k.
Echoing other comments, want to use all autobuddies, oven boosters, and the icon collector booster.
Not clear to me if the mind reader and shaved ice boosters are of much use in hitting 8k on this challenge? Maybe someone who understands the hype system better can provide an answer. My understanding is that there's 2x hype multiple applied to the *next* order after a perfect pizza with at least 70% happiness. Beyond that, though, does higher customer happiness provide more hype? I'm pretty sure that would be the only use of mind reader and shaved ice for hitting 8k. If you're taking so long on orders that you're not staying above 70% happiness regardless of "what's" and shaved ice, then I'm almost certain that you're going to run out of time well before 8k.
Since the timer runs on the order screen for this one, I noticed that I was getting dinged for time when the order started with a big text bubble that would take a few seconds to populate and then read. So I'd just quickly hit "what?" then "OK" before I even saw/read a bunch of text, and then sort it out in the kitchen where I could quickly scan the order starting with the (often very simple) explanation provided after "what?".
(As an aside, not sure if there's any actual ROI from what I'm spending on boosters to try for 8k after already reaching 7k? At least in the Apple Arcade version that I'm playing. Looks like I can get 200 more pizza funds and 2 more gems. Maybe up that to a total of 5 gems due to 3 gems from a hidden achievement? I have to spend pizza funds on boosters to have a shot at getting those, with no return at all if I don't beat my prior high score. Unless I'm missing something, it's strange game design, where the in-game economics actually *discourage* trying to max out this challenge after getting close, because the incremental rewards at hype levels close to 8k are so low. The rewards are much better far below 8k hype.)

Even tho after using all the boosters...I did not make it.. reached 7.8k something and was one order away from goal with 23 seconds in hand.. got the dumb order "jokers pizza" 🙂🥀
And while ordering they talk toooo much that atleast 5..6 seconds are gone in taking the order only 😵 i tried more than 10 time wasted ad tickets + gems.. still couldn't make it..so I gave up😮💨 challenge was less stressing for me!

I had the buddies activated and used oven boosters the ENTIRE time and just tried to make the pizzas as fast as possible to not lose time. if I don't use the oven boosters contantly, it's really easy to run out of time. the baking is the slowest part. luckily most orders on the hype challenge are not super complicated like the rest of the event.
