Solve noir mysteries by writing real SQL. Read the clues, query the database, catch the culprit.
SQL Mysteries: Cold Query is a detective game where every clue is hiding in a database.
You play as the newest intern in Meridian Falls PD’s basement archive, solving cold cases by writing real SQL queries. Question witness lists, filter evidence logs, sort timelines, join records, and follow the data until the paperwork gives up the truth.
No dry lessons. No flashcards. Just suspicious librarians, missing files, crooked alibis, and one very tired detective dummy named Archie.
Features:
• Learn SQL by solving playable mystery cases
• Practice SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, LIMIT, joins, grouping, aggregates, NULLs, and subqueries
• Get instant feedback when your query catches the right clue
• Build an evidence board as each case unfolds
• Track XP, streaks, and skill progress in your detective dossier
• Play the opening cases free, then unlock the full case library with the Season Pass
If you’ve ever wanted to learn SQL without feeling like you’re trapped in a spreadsheet basement, welcome to the basement.
