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 rapidly gaining popularity. Boasting over 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 understandable; brain training games have a proven track record. While Cognido's squid-like mascot, Nido, may not be as comforting as Dr. Kawashima, the gameplay is engaging and addictive.

A German-Made Game with Freemium Model

Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. While a subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience, a free trial allows potential players to test the waters before committing.

A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode. This mode will allow for larger-scale competitions with four to six players battling it out for brain supremacy.
