Kusto Detective Agency

Solve detective cases by querying large datasets with KQL

Kusto Detective Agency is a detective game played with data. Each case arrives in your agency inbox with a story and a dataset, and you write Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries to find the culprit, the hidden number or the next lead. You then type the answer back in to close the case and unlock the next one. Cases are grouped into seasons.
