About the Game

This is a single player SQL puzzle game where you’re mysteriously teleported into a database. The only way out is to use SQL queries to navigate the schema. No prior SQL experience is required.

Your goal is to unlock deeper access, repair critical systems, and get out of the database before the system erases you forever.

Each level is a self-contained puzzle built around corrupted tables, missing relationships, or restricted access. You use SQL commands like SELECT to investigate data, UPDATE to repair records, and JOIN to uncover hidden connections between tables. Solving puzzles unlocks new schema regions and higher access permissions.
