Cognido: German Student Project Surpasses 40k Downloads

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. Offering fast-paced matches against friends and strangers, Cognido presents a diverse range of challenges, progressing from basic math problems to trivia and beyond.

This solo project, reminiscent of those university assignments that sometimes unexpectedly flourish, provides a compelling blend of quick-fire gameplay and strategic thinking. The game's rapid-fire matches offer a refreshing change from traditional brain training apps. While the squid-like mascot, Nido, might not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the gameplay itself is undeniably engaging.

A German-Made Game with Free and Premium Options

Unlike some university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. While a subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, a free trial allows players to experience Cognido before committing. A significant update is also on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode for four to six players.
