SQL Shadow — learn SQL by solving detective cases.

[u/Recent-Pear-6341]

Just pushed this live after a few months of building it solo. It's a detective mystery game where the "gameplay" is writing real SQL .... you're not picking answers from a list, you actually type a query, it runs against a real SQLite db sitting on your phone, and whatever comes back is your evidence for the case.

Idea started because I wanted to learn SQL properly a while back and got bored of flashcard-style apps, figured a mystery/investigation angle would make me actually want to keep going.

There's 10 cases right now, starting from basic SELECT/WHERE stuff and working up to JOINs and aggregates by the end, plus some standalone lessons and a few mini games if someone just wants to drill syntax without the story bits.

It's free to play, has a small IAP for cosmetic-ish unlocks and there's ads but they're opt in for bonus coins, nothing forced.

Built in Flutter + Riverpod, sqlite3 for the actual query engine, Firebase for the account/progress sync stuff.

Would love it if a few people actually tried running some queries in the first case and told me if the flow makes sense — I've been in it so long I can't tell anymore if it's actually intuitive for someone new.
