The town delivery desk: Route planner

A fictional book van serves a school and a community centre. All travel times are supplied scenario estimates. You play the route planner and work through 9 short levels, about 14 minutes in all. Where you start: A short route is useful only if it respects delivery windows and vehicle limits. The work connects to careers such as logistics coordinator and operations professional. It is free, and your reflection stays private.
