    Charming game but extremely easy and lacking content. Feels more like a demo or platform for people to create scenarios for. The game seems well-made and I didn't have any issues playing, but I was able to finish half the game in under an hour while being somewhat purposefully slow. The SQL required to solve each case is extremely basic; reaching the solution only takes a few WHERE clauses. Game seems like it will…

    A pleasant and easy-to-understand SQL practice tool; it walks you step by step through working with data and writing queries, and when needed helps you understand syntax and fix errors. For beginners, it’s exactly what’s needed.
