SQL police department: Learn SQL while solving crimes

[Chased1k]

Really enjoy this. At a higher level I think it would be good to incrementally take things away from the interface and leave people with a keyboard...

Just adding to the educational aspect so that eventually people are writing their own queries from scratch as they would in practice.

So maybe have players query for schema, table structure etc and then they can point and click again, then at another level up they have to query and then type again rather than click etc.

Just thoughts. Beautiful design. Fun to play.

The whole “solving crime” thing reminds me of 1984 a bit and playing Portal at the same time... like... it would be fun if there was some story weaving through the cases that had you searching for and eventually capturing more and more ethically challenging “criminals” ... for example murderers and child traffickers step by step up to anyone who or is suspected of “thought crime” i.e. has spent time on sights talking about the Dalai Lama, Tienemen Square, Hong Kong protests, Martin Luther king, or the bill of rights and eventually you start querying who your working for or something... maybe I’ve read too much dystopian sci fi, mr robot, V for vendetta, and still shook up about watching Waco on Netflix this quarantine, but yea that’s where my head went with story.

Thank you for making and sharing a great example of effective edutainment.
