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.
The game's success is both impressive and unsurprising. Many of us fondly remember brain-training games of the past, and Cognido, with its unique, squid-like mascot Nido, offers a modern twist on the classic formula. While Nido might not be as comforting as Dr. Kawashima, the gameplay is undeniably engaging.
A German-Made Game with a Free and Premium Option
Unlike many university projects, Cognido isn't limited to a single playthrough. It offers both free and premium options, allowing players to try before they buy via a free trial. A subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience.
Further enhancing the game, a major update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode. This mode allows for larger competitions, with four to six players battling it out for brain supremacy.
