About

There’s been a backlog of unsolved cases piling up in the Minor Crimes Division of the Los Zorangeles Police Department and we’ll need a Database Detective to help solve them.
We’ll need you to analyze clues and manipulate data using SQL, a database querying language, to figure out who perpetrated crimes from as minor as littering to as serious as not checking out of a hotel after the check-out time.

Don’t worry! This role is intended to be accessible for those without any SQL experience, so each Database Detective is given an introductory textbook when they start! This short textbook is less than 20 pages and explains everything that’s needed to solve each case.
If you still have trouble writing queries, our comprehensive error messaging system will tell you exactly where your query went wrong, making it easy to correct your mistakes.
Still not enough? Each Database Detective is assigned an assistant who’s ready to answer any questions you might have, whether they be about the case itself or the SQL queries you’ll need to write!


Understanding how to manipulate data using SQL is not the only part of being a Database Detective! Your job will also require you to piece together evidence and clues, just like a real detective! Further on in your Database Detective career, you’ll have to sleuth through the internet and piece cases together yourself.
Fully voice acted mission briefings at the beginning of each case!
Fully hand drawn art for you to enjoy!
More than 40 websites to explore!
10 cases for you to solve, each case getting longer and more complex!
A total of around 8-10 hours of valuable work experience to add to your resume!

[h1] FUN WAY TO LEARN SQL[/h1] I actually use SQL in my day to day IRL. This is actually a pretty fun and effective way to learn SQL if you are learning for the first time. Kind of addicting too. Definitely checking out more from this Dev.
Yes Play it
I have been using SQL professionally for 13 years and haven't even crafted a statement yet but wanted to check the textbook for added lore. Though I started in military intelligence, I was greeted by the main takeaway from my time in public safety so far; if a detective can understand it, you can understand it. 10/10 would recommend.

Having a blast so far. Forgot how much I loved sifting through tables for extremely specific bits of data.
Absolutely love it, british style humor, good learning curve on the SQL, focus on the puzzle solving rather than SQL crafting. EDIT: after completing the game, I can for sure say it's an amazing game. Now to hunt for the achievements!
A fun game with a good sense of humor, and it's nice to dust off the old SQL knowledge again. The game could stand to be more clear with regard to what information needs to be extracted. I much preferred the "I know what information I need, how do I write the query to get the info" than the "what am I even looking for" that the seventh and the ninth case are rife with.
I'm not even trying to learn SQL, I just love the puzzle aspect of it. Super fun and challenging!
