The given direct speech can be changed into reported speech as shown and explained below:

The burglar asked the old lady what the game was and what she was getting at.

Explanation

It was an interrogative case.  The reporting verb 'said to' is changed into 'asked', enquired' or 'wanted to know'.When we convert an interrogative sentence starting with wh- word, we don’t add any conjunction such as ‘that’, ‘if’ etc. We just use the wh-word and turn the question into statement. The other tense and pronoun changes are applied as per the reported speech rules.
