Cognido: A University Project Turned Brain-Training Hit
Cognido, a fast-paced multiplayer brain-training game, is the brainchild of university student David Schreiber. This solo project pits players against friends and strangers in quick-fire challenges ranging from simple math problems to trivia and beyond.
With an impressive 40,000 downloads, Cognido's success is a testament to its engaging gameplay. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, might not quite match the comforting presence of Dr. Kawashima, the game's addictive nature is undeniable.
Developed in Germany and Offering Free and Premium Play
Unlike many university projects, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options. A subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience, but a free trial allows potential 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 fun.
