There's been a Murder in SQL City! The SQL Murder Mystery is designed to be both a self-directed lesson to learn SQL concepts and commands and a fun game for experienced SQL users to solve an intriguing crime.
## What You Need
If you just want to solve the mystery, go to [mystery.knightlab.com](http://mystery.knightlab.com). If you're new to SQL, you may want to start at [our walkthrough](http://mystery.knightlab.com/walkthrough.html). It won't teach you everything about SQL, but it should teach you all that you need to solve the mystery.
**Nothing more than a web browser!** You can now solve the mystery in your browser, by going to [mystery.knightlab.com](http://mystery.knightlab.com). If you're new to SQL, you may want to start at [our walkthrough](http://mystery.knightlab.com/walkthrough.html). It won't teach you everything about SQL, but it should teach you all that you need to solve the mystery.
## What Else is Here?
Before we developed the web-based version, we designed this for people to download and solve on their own. If you're interested in that, read on:
Before we built the web-based version, we designed this for people to download and solve on their own computer. If you're interested in that, read on.
## What you need to solve on your own computer
* **sql-murder-mystery.db**: This SQLite database file contains all the data that you will be working with.
* **prompt**: Depending on your experience level with SQL, find the prompt in either the [prompt_experienced](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/prompt_experienced.pdf) file or the [prompt_beginner](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/prompt_beginner.pdf) file.
* **[reference](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/reference.pdf)**: This is a crash course on SQL concepts and commands.
* **a SQLite environment of your choice**: For beginners, we recommend using [SQLiteStudio](https://sqlitestudio.pl/index.rvt), which is a good graphical interface to use to inspect your data and write queries.
**NEW:** If you don't want to install anything, you can query [a web-based version of the database](https://sql-murder-mystery.datasette.io/sql-murder-mystery) published by [Simon Willison](https://simonwillison.net/) using his awesome [Datasette](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/) tool. If you do that, just download the [beginner](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/prompt_beginner.pdf) or [experienced](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/prompt_experienced.pdf) prompt file and get started.
## Getting Started
* **For SQL beginners**: start with the reference, read the [prompt_beginner](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/prompt_beginner.pdf) file, then get started by [installing SQLiteStudio and loading the db file](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/sqlite_studio.pdf). If you get stuck at any point, feel free to refer back to the reference, or file a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/issues) so we can know where our instructions need to be improved.
