Wait, you want my Google password? Are you Evil?

Nope. We never see your password. We use Google Accounts so that 1) we don't have to maintain an account system, and 2) you don't have to create yet another login for this random game.

We'll know your email address, but we'll never share it, and we'll only email you when your account is about to be deleted.

Here's proof your account is safe:
This is what you'll see in the URL every single time you log in at mysqlgame: google url bar

Teaching moment: You should never enter any password anywhere unless you see "https://", followed by a site you trust (www.google.com in this case), followed by a closing "/". On the other hand, in cases where you do see that, you can be pretty sure it's safe. (Or, as safe as it will ever be.) I guess we've all learned something today!

Welcome to mySQLgame (shard 1 - 9569 rows)

Are you tired of browser-based games that are thinly veiled interfaces for databases? Finally, there's a game that just is a database!

THRILL as you insert your very own row in the "rows" table!

With careful selection of SQL queries, you will soon have three or even four-digit numbers in some of the fields in your row! Other queries may allow you to use those numbers to subtract from rows entered by other players -- all while pushing the numbers in your own row even higher!

As you master the game, you may find that you have inserted not just one row into the game, but several! Log in on the right to get started.
