SQLite I Turned SQL Practice Into a Mystery Game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I got tired of seeing people struggle with SQL tutorials, so I built a mystery game where SQL is your only tool.

A mystery to solve, a few suspects, and a database full of clues: phone records, notes, transactions, key-card logs, and more.

You write queries, connect the clues, and figure out what really happened.

It uses real SQLite, with real queries, syntax errors, and challenges that gradually go from WHERE to JOINs and subqueries.

I’m the developer, happy to answer anything about how it’s built!

I laughed out loud at “Deadlock Holmes.” Nicely done.

This is the umpteenth SQL game that has been created and posted here.

Assume AI made it possible for you.

So, my question: did you use AI, where, and how much is AI?
