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!

Probably more like being a real detective than most detective games where you walk around with a gun and a magnifying glass. You don't have to know SQL to enjoy this, the game holds your hand as it gives you examples of what to do. You then have to figure out how to swap out the info you are working with for the info in the examples. Seems easy but requires lots of thinking and some logic. Very rewarding when you figure it out without having to ask for suggestions from the game.
If you can only play one SQL-based game this year, make it this one.
Having a blast so far. Forgot how much I loved sifting through tables for extremely specific bits of data.
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.
Wunderschönes Spiel. Sonst bin ich nur in Action basierten Games unterwegs und hätte mir sowas vermutlich nie geholt. Aber die Kombination aus SQL und Detektiv spielen... Diese Quality die in diesem CopOS steckt.... Herrlich für eigentlich jeden. Ich stecke noch in Kapitel 5 fest, aber bestimmt nicht mehr lange. Meiner Meinung nach könnte das Manual etwas mehr <3 bzw "Erklärungen für Dummies" bekommen.
:)
Enjoying the game a lot. I already know a bit of sql so I was able to make use of it. The game really makes you think to figure out the case.

Absolutely brilliant game. It's genuinely a challenging puzzle game. I have SQL experience already, but I really enjoyed reading the concept descriptions in the manual. The game is really quirky, and cute, and a satisfying challenge. I love the art style and aesthetics. I'm totally obsessed, this has gotta be one of my all time favorites games.
Super fun and beginner friendly. I absolutely love the humor. Definitely check it out if you have a some free time to kill!
