Cognido: A University Project Turned Thriving Brain-Training Game
Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's already amassed an impressive 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 successful university projects that transcend their academic origins, has clearly struck a chord with players. While the squid-like mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the game's engaging gameplay is undeniably appealing.

A German-Made Game with a Premium Option
Cognido, developed in Germany, offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, but a free trial allows players to test the waters before committing. A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode featuring four to six-player competitions.
