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 garnered 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.
The game's success is unsurprising; many fondly remember brain-training games of the past. While Cognido's squid-like mascot, Nido, might not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the gameplay itself is undeniably engaging.
Made in Germany, Available Globally
Unlike many university projects destined for oblivion, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience, but a free trial allows players to test the waters before committing.
A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode for four to six players. This competitive addition promises even more brain-bending challenges.
