Hey Product Hunt 👋
I've spent seven years as a data analyst watching people try to learn SQL the same way - filter a fake employees table, get a result, close the tab, forget everything by Thursday.
The problem isn't SQL. It's that there's never a reason to care about the answer.
QueryCase fixes that. You're a detective. Chief Fox briefs you on a case. You write real SQL to solve it. The JOIN matters when a suspect has an alibi. The query has a purpose.
Since launching just under three weeks ago: 350+ signups, 1500+ cases completed, and people have been reaching Senior Detective level within days of starting from zero.
What's live today:
- 54 cases from basic SELECT through to window functions and CTEs
- Duolingo-style drills between cases to reinforce concepts
- Five detective ranks with timed exams and shareable certificates
- Leaderboards and unlockable titles as you progress
- Free Sandbox with IMDB, Spotify, NBA, Steam, Pokémon and more to query freely
- Timed Investigations mode — no hints, just you and the evidence
- Runs entirely in the browser via DuckDB WASM, no setup required
Coming next week: Career Hub with FAANG-style SQL interview questions built around real company patterns.
The longer goal is to make QueryCase the centralised SQL platform for everyone; new learners, career switchers, and experienced analysts who want to stay sharp.
Rookie path is completely free. Happy to answer anything - the DuckDB implementation, the gamification decisions, anything about the build.
