The Modern Oshawa Centre
Like Duolingo, but for The Modern Oshawa Centre. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 11 levels across 2 sections, about 22 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Navigating the New Wing and The Modern Shopping Experience. It starts from scratch.
