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!

I learned SQL basics a long time ago, but never quite understood it. I need it now for work and this game really motivates me to learn it without major aids and in such a fun way. The voice acting is also phenomenal! The game runs so smoothly and also fit for people who haven't programmed before. Amazing game and so much fun :)
It's not a difficult game if you are already somewhat SQL capable, but it's funny enough. I also had to laugh when a query error on a complicated query revealed that the game is in fact just running SQLite for the query engine, and I have no idea why I thought it'd be a custom engine.
3 hours in and it's a ton of fun. I haven't touched SQL since my time in school, but this is a fun way to refresh the basics. My favorite parts of the game are the storytelling and jokes. Funny, a touch cynical (as another reviewer said), and really goes in depth with clues that aren't too revealing but aren't extremely impossible to parse. Also, I think these creatures are sloths, what's not to love? Anyways, highly recommend this game. I came in blind with no knowledge of the game, and I'm glad I did.
Oyun aşırı zevkli, oynanış şekli ve arayüze bayıldım gerçekten gerçek bir işletim sistemi gibi görünüyor. 10 tane bulmaca var henüz ama çok sarıyor
puzzle game + learning tool = good brain itch
I love it
Very well made and amazingly funny
This game has a lot of love baked into it.
Entertaining way to learn SQL, the humor is pretty good
i love it to space and back. the sql stuff is fun, and it has the internet research vibes of roottrees. UPDATE: i just finished it and am experiencing genuine grief.
