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!

this game is so so so well designed! can't imagine how much time and effort went into creating all the data, making sure the player gets meaningful feedback on their sql queries, the worldbuilding etc etc. very very very clever. this is like orwell but for computer science students. amazing work, what a beautiful project of a game!!
Well, started an internship at a consulting firm, knowing absolute 0 SQL, in 2,5 hours I have learned more than in 4 weeks 10/10
Super fun and beginner friendly. I absolutely love the humor. Definitely check it out if you have a some free time to kill!
:)
It's a fun and challenging game that's often funny. it keeps you engaged while teaching you a bit of sql step by step by serving you with increasingly challenging cases to solve.
If you can only play one SQL-based game this year, make it this one.
Excellent game, wish it was longer.
peakness
This is a big ask but I think I should get a certification, from not understanding SQL to knowing some SQL and I feel like I got a whole lesson on SQL where is certification (also omg achievements, how do i unlock them all aaaa)
