Cognido: A University Project Turned Brain-Training Hit
Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's already amassed 40,000 downloads. This fast-paced game pits players against friends and strangers in quick-fire challenges ranging from simple math to trivia and beyond.
Anyone familiar with university projects will appreciate the remarkable success of Cognido. While many student projects fade into obscurity, Cognido stands out. Its blend of quick matches and diverse challenges offers a compelling alternative to other brain-training apps.
While the squid-like mascot, Nido, might not quite match the comforting presence of Dr. Kawashima, Cognido's addictive gameplay has clearly resonated with players.
Made in Germany, Free and Premium Options Available
Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, but a free trial allows potential players to test the waters.
A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode featuring four-to-six player competitions. This expansion promises even more engaging brain-teasing action.
