C.L.I.D is a free, comic-book style game that teaches SQL by putting you to work.

Step into four jobs: hotel front desk, café counter, airport check-in and library. The people who walk up to you have real problems, and you solve them by writing real SQL queries.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 68 story lessons across 4 worlds: Hotel, Café, Airport and Library

• SQL challenges with a live data table and an SQL terminal

• Folder Challenges ("boss fights") that unlock the next chapter

• Simulation Mode: customers keep coming, and you type the full query for each one

• A built-in SQL Glossary

• Text-to-speech for the story dialogue

SQL YOU WILL PRACTICE

SELECT, INSERT INTO, UPDATE, DELETE, WHERE, AND / OR, BETWEEN, IN, LIKE, IS NULL, DISTINCT, aliases (AS), ORDER BY, LIMIT, GROUP BY, HAVING, COUNT, SUM and AVG.

CONTROLS

• Mouse: click everything

• Right / Left arrow: next / back in the story

• Enter: run your query, H: show the hint (in SQL challenges)

• Esc: back to the lesson list

• Simulation Mode: Ctrl+Enter runs your query

Install instructions

1. Unzip CLID-windows.zip into any folder.

2. Double-click CLID.exe to play. Keep the .dll file in the same folder; the game needs it for SQL.

3. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. This appears because the game is not code-signed.

Nothing else needs to be installed.

To remove the game, delete the folder. To also delete your accounts and progress, first use Settings > Delete All Data on the Login screen.
